ANNIE
For years he's been watching me from the shadows, never approaching, never engaging and only ever speaking to me once...I think. Yep, that's right. I have my very own stalker. Except he doesn't feel like a stalker. He feels more like my protector. My guardian angel.
While I am clueless about him, including the reason for his apparent fascination, he seems to know everything about me. Sometimes it feels like he's the person that knows me best in the world. But the truth is, I'm the least likely person to deserve a stalker. I'm an average girl living a below-average life. There is nothing extraordinary about me at all. Except him.

Years ago, I made a solemn promise to protect Annie Jenkins with my life, and that's a vow I take extremely seriously. Keeping an appropriate distance, I maintain a largely hands-off approach, torn between wishing to ensure her safety, while avoiding freaking her out with my continued presence.
Until one day, our lives are inescapably drawn together. I've always been a soldier. A loner. But the more time I spend with Annie, the more I realise I'm intensely attracted to her. And now I'm in real danger, because I'm not sure I can ever endure leaving her side again.

18+ romance. This book contains steamy, explicit scenes, as well as some depictions of violence.
