Axel has three missions in life. Little did he know that one of them would involve protecting the woman he loves... When Axel witnessed something he couldn't unsee, trouble with a capital T painted a target on his back. What began as an ordinary day running his crime scene cleaning company turned into a hail of bullets aimed at him. Determined to confront the threat head-on, make peace with his inner demons, and fulfill a promise, Axel's path took an unexpected turn toward passion. While at a local bar to clear his thoughts, he encountered a woman who ticked all his boxes: English Price. While English relaxed at her favorite tavern after a long day of work as a book conservator, she couldn't help but notice the long-haired, six-foot-three inches of lean muscle and mischief that was Axel. She lived life being an unapologetic nerd, and men like Axel provided a much-welcomed excuse to let her hair down. His work ethic and intelligence were just the right cocktail to take her mind off her ex-boyfriend and checkered past. But, given her failed relationships, she knew all too well that bad boys meant bad news. From the moment they meet, a chain of events unfolds, and their undeniable attraction propels them toward a future already etched in stone.
