Dark Romantic Action Suspense

He’s trained to kill.
She’s marked for death.
Fate is coming for them.
And fate always collects
what she’s owed.

Ryder Axton is a Navy SEAL–trained bounty hunter who plays by his own rules.
He never gets personally involved.
Until the night he finds a missing federal witness chained in a basement.

Keeping Rachel Farrington alive becomes his only mission —
even if it costs him everything.
Especially when she doesn’t know who he is and fights him at every turn.

Rachel thought she was safe in protective custody.
She was wrong.
When a powerful, dangerous man appears claiming to be her only way out,
she doesn’t know if he’s rescuing her
—or delivering her to a worse fate.

Ryder is dark.
Lethal.
Unreadable.

A man forged in violence.
A force that feels less human than legend.

As enemies close in, Ryder learns the truth too late:

He thought he had nothing left to lose.
He was wrong.
