She's haunted by her past. He's obsessed with her future. Amity lives in a fortress against her own devastating memories and the world outside. Having survived unimaginable trauma, she keeps everyone at a distance-a defense mechanism Kade, her fiercely protective and dangerous guard, struggles against daily. Kade is sworn to protect "The Boss's" daughter, but the line between duty and complete obsession is long gone. He's a monster who shouldn't touch her, but he can't stop himself from watching her, listening to her, and planning to make her his own. In a life defined by violence, secrecy, and consuming desire, Kade promises Amity safety, but his touch might be the one thing that finally breaks her. He's a brute. She's his treasure. And their story will shatter every expectation.
