Broken Vow by Nina Sparrow

The past is the past. I have no future.
Cancer can be a death sentence…but when you know any day could be your last, it really puts things in perspective.
I may not have much time left, so I’m going to stop living for other people.
For the first time in my life, I’m living for myself.
I’m going after what I want.
And what I want is him.
He’s older. He’s experienced. And he’s my father’s partner and trusted friend.
Totally off-limits, right?
Once, I would have thought so.
But not now.
I’ve spent a lifetime holding back.
And it feels so good to give in.
But I’m not used to doing something so reckless.
This Russian bodyguard is danger incarnate.
He’s hiding something about my past I’m not supposed to ever find out.
I thought I had nothing left to lose.
But it turns out the past doesn’t always stay in the past.
He promised to protect me; instead, he’s going to break me.
Because it’s what you don’t know that breaks you.
