Not So Sweet After All

She just got out of prison. He just walked into the wrong alley. What happens next is anything but sweet.

After five brutal years behind bars, Clara's only goal is survival-keep her head down, stay out of trouble, and pretend life hasn't already fucked her over a hundred times too many. But fate has other plans. On her first day of freedom, she witnesses a mugging in progress... and can't walk away. Again.

Enter Ithan-rich, clean-cut, and completely unprepared for the woman who throws herself between him and a knife. He's the kind of guy who's never had to fight for anything-until now. Because Clara doesn't want saving. She wants peace. Too bad life keeps handing her blood, bullets, and a gorgeous distraction with green eyes and way too many questions.

Their worlds were never meant to collide. She's all rage and scars. He's all logic and control. But in the chaos of one violent night, a connection sparks-raw, electric, and impossible to ignore.
