As the doctor to the Bennett brothers and their enforcers, Jeffrey was used to seeing a lot of violence and patching up a lot of injuries. He wasn’t prepared for the beaten, broken woman he helped rescue, but he knew one thing for certain when he saw her. She’d never come to harm again, because he’d do anything to keep her safe. With heartbreaking losses in his past, and a lot more brutality to his nature than anyone realised, he’d kept his world small, and put all his focus on his patients, until now. She was already more than that. She was his. Spencer wasn’t supposed to survive, and because she had, she had to return to him. By staying away, she’d only make him more furious with her. She had to make up for living when she should have died. The obstacle in her way was a pesky, know-it-all doctor with the worst bedside manner, and a strangely obsessive approach to treating her dependencies. When he took things to an extreme to enforce his caregiving and protection, she had no choice but to escape and run, before her troubles became his too. Can Jeffrey save Spencer before her past catches up with her for good, and can he keep it together when their relationship risks everything the Bennetts have worked for? Can he keep himself from betraying the very men he’s been loyal to for so long? Can Spencer survive long enough to realise her true feelings for Jeffrey? And can she even function as a normal woman after everything she’s been through? When the Bennetts are forced to make a dramatic example of someone to prove their dominance and secure their future, will they forever burn vital bridges and destroy the empire they created? This is a dark romance story, featuring content which may not suit all readers, or may be triggering. It is a standalone book, with HEA, and the characters will appear again in a future book, but will not be the focus of that book.
