Playing With Fire

Marissa is being hunted by a monster—and the only man who can save her is the one she betrayed.
Axel Powers has promised to destroy her. He won't stop until she's his. Desperate and out of time, Marissa turns to the last person she ever expected to beg for help—Blade.

Blade doesn't owe Marissa a thing.
He's fresh off a brutal mission and wants nothing more than a few days of peace. Instead, he gets a call from the woman who shattered his trust ten years ago. He should hang up. Walk away. Let her face the consequences.

But when Blade sees the terror in her eyes, something shifts.
This isn't the reckless girl from his past. This is a woman in real danger—danger tied to a man powerful enough, violent enough, to make even a seasoned warrior take notice.

Axel wants Marissa back. Blade intends to make damn sure he never gets her.
To keep her alive, Blade must confront old wounds, deadly enemies, and the fire still burning between them. Protecting her might cost him everything… but losing her again isn't an option.
