When her trip turns deadly, Robin's only hope is to trust this man who broke her heart.

When the only woman he's ever loved shows upon his doorstep, he'll do anything to send her away. If he doesn't, he will end up ruining her life, or worse, killing her&â&€”just like every other woman who's ever gotten close to him. A danger so complete, it threatens to consume them both...
