ything I can't have.
I'm no good with frail things. I'm a brute and break nearly everything I touch. Usually on purpose. Which is why I'm intrigued when Ava falls into my lap.

Her brothers-my best friends-have no idea what they're asking of me when I'm tasked with keeping tabs on their little sister. I'm supposed to keep the bad guys away. Only, they seem to have forgotten one very important detail.

I am the bad guy.

I'm supposed to stay in the shadows, be a ghost in her world, but there are some opportunities too tempting to deny myself.

But making my way into Ava's world means she's drawn into mine.

And here, where I dwell, there's only pain and death.

I was sent to be her protector. So, who'll be left to save her when the darkness comes for us both?
