WICKED DEVOTION
They didn’t plan to take her. Now, they’ll never let her go.Lily
Seconds are enough to destroy the life I thought I had. As my husband’s secrets put a target on my back, I find myself at the mercy of two men who shatter the rest of my so-called truths. Trapped between inevitable harm and unknown danger, our deal for my safety slowly shifts to something more. I should escape their hold before it’s too late—but good girls don’t run unless told.Max
Keeping people safe is my job, and the perfect justification to coax the frightened girl into staying with us. I know keeping Lily will challenge what Logan and I have, but maybe it’s time to confront the things we never say out loud.Logan
Happy endings are for kids, and for hopeless romantics like Max. The walls I've built around myself are there for a reason—to keep the shadows in and people out. Max made me negligent, but he knows my affection comes at a price. Beautiful, unquestioning loyalty; until Lily comes along and turns our world upside down.
