Finding Her Peace

She never needed rescuing. She just wanted a man strong enough to lean on.

The operation was a success. That was the hell of it.

Layla had spent years bringing down monsters, and she’d finally won. But when the smoke cleared, her whole world lay in ashes.

Her home, gone.

Her cover, burned.

The people who’d fought beside her, scattered back to lives of their own. And somewhere out there, men were still hunting her.

Layla had been on a mission since she was a girl. Now she had nothing.

Then came a man she’d never expected. Which should have been impossible, because Layla always saw everyone coming.

Bruno Drakos.

Quiet eyes that missed nothing. A slow, patient smile. Shoulders built for leaning on. And he had a plan.

Help her start somewhere new.

Keep her safe.

Show her what came after survival.

Because for a woman who knew how to survive anything, peace might be the greatest risk of all.
