Shattered Grace by Brook Wilder

He’s the exact kind of person I need, and the last person I should want.
He’s ruthless, cutthroat, and dangerous.
Unfortunately for me, he’s also the only person I can turn to.

I’ve been warned that I’m playing with fire.
I know that he’ll always get what he wants.

I don’t have time to fall head over heels for any guy–least of all, him.
I thought I had a foolproof plan.

First, I’ll get him to drop his guards.
Next, I’ll learn his secrets.
Then, I’ll use that to claw myself out of the hell I was in.

But that’s before he turned it all around on me.
Before he exposed all of my secrets.
My past.

I can pretend that our kisses are just for show.
I can pretend that his gaze doesn’t make my heart skip.
I can pretend that our time together isn’t an earth-shattering experience I can’t forget.

But the harder I pretend, the harder he’ll make me fall.
