The King by Taylor Danae Colbert

Dominic Castiano was my first love.
He should’ve been my last.

But to keep him safe—to keep him alive—I had to leave him behind.

Ten years later, the world we live in is even more dangerous, and it’s because he’s the one running it. He has taken over his father’s outfit, and now he’s got a target on his back. Coming from an enemy crew, I can’t be the reason more trouble finds him.

But when our lips touch again, I forget everything else. When he brings me into his home to keep me safe, I feel myself forgetting all the reasons I left him in the first place.

When you run from your past, it always catches up with you. Ours is knocking, and if we’re not careful, we will end before we ever get started.
