My past got us captured. Her past could get us killed. And the clock is ticking.
That was thenโฆ
Abandoning my family and rejecting my duty was a calculated risk. I longed for freedom from the oppressive chains of the cartel and the suffocating walls of my family estate.
After my escape, I made a new home in Aruba, keeping to myself and staying under the radar. That is until I met Libby.
She was lonely. And broken. Our souls were the same. And from the moment her brilliant blue eyes connected with mine, I knew I would do anything to have her. Even when saving her meant losing the freedom I had fought so desperately to achieve.
โฆthis is now.
Forgiveness is not given freely, and Iโm lucky to still be alive.
My family doesnโt want to trust meโฆ the son who ran away. But they donโt have a choice. As my parents attempt to stop the rapid fraying of their empire, my brotherโs dangerous behavior seems focused on trying to destroy it โ or me.
But Iโm not the only one whoโs in trouble.
My family wants Libby for something, and I need to learn their secret before itโs too late. Yet as Iโm dragged deeper into my old way of life, the lines of loyalty start to blur.
Deception is everywhere. Truth is obscured. And monsters are not always what they seem.
To keep her safe, I will defy the rules. I will defy my family. I will defyย anythingย that stands in my way.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Jillian has worked in the healthcare industry for over 10 years. With no formal education in creative writing, she sat down one night during the pandemic to give her mind a break from facts and sterile objectivity. In doing so, she discovered a love for losing herself in a story all her own. Even though she continues to work her โregularโ job, sheโs always planning, plotting, and scheming for ways to make her next characters fall in love.
Her characters are inspired by people she has met over the years and their stories could happen to anyone. Realistic, flirty, quick reads are what youโll get when you crack open one of her novels.
When she isnโt working or writing, you can find her in her garden, on a plane, or 50ft below the surface of the ocean breathing bubbles and chasing fish. She currently resides in North Carolina with her husband and three step kids.
