She's 18. He's 42. He saved her life on the rainiest night of the year — and she's been falling ever since. Lane has no father, no money, and no one who cares. Until a mysterious stranger steps out of the shadows to rescue her from an assault. Nick is a top lawyer by day — and a vigilante killer by night. He takes her in, buys her clothes, fights off her bullies, and wins her court battles. He tries to be the father she never had. But Lane doesn't want a father. She wants him. What begins as a forbidden obsession becomes a dangerous game of desire and restraint. Every time she crosses the line, he pulls back. Every time he pushes her away, she comes closer. Then she discovers his darkest secret — one that connects him to the murder of her own father. Love. Betrayal. Revenge. A 24-year age gap that the world says is wrong — and a bond neither of them can break.
