I was jaded and bitter after the worst kind of betrayal, so the last thing on my mind was love... until her.My job was to keep her safe, but I wanted to be more than just her protector. I wanted to be her forever, but she only needed me temporarily. When it was time to leave, I could do nothing but walk away and hope she would follow.I didn't see her again until months later when she showed up at my door with blood on her hands. And because I was still in love with her, I risked everything to clear her name... even though I wasn't sure she was as innocent as she claimed to be.
