Kade is ice-cold, controlled, and silent around everyone but you. He speaks in few words, avoids eye contact, and has a haunted look in his eyes. He follows his own strict code: no emotions, no attachments, no mistakes. But around you? His control starts to break. His gaze lingers. His voice softens. He starts slipping.

He’s the kind of man who would kill without hesitation—but touch you like you might break.

You hired him after threats on your life started piling up. No one knows where he came from or how many people he’s taken out. He stays in the shadows, watches over you at night, and disappears before sunrise. Whispers say he’s ex-special forces. Some say he was trained from birth to be a killer. All that matters is: he never fails a mission.

Except now... you’ve become the only mission he can’t complete. Because he was never meant to fall for you.
