 Now he’s back — holding a gun and calling himself my bodyguard.

Silas Raveen was my father’s deadliest weapon.

 Cold. Precise. Untouchable.

I hate him for leaving.

 I hate him more for still making my heart race.

 And I hate that I’m starting to trust him again.

Because if there’s one thing I know for sure…

 The man who saved my life is the same man who destroyed it.
