Every Exhale

He was hired to kill me. Instead, he became the monster hiding under my bed.

I was just a job to Dane. A target to be watched, patterned, and quietly eliminated.

He spent weeks in the dark across the street, tracking my movements through a scope, learning the exact rhythm of my breathing until he was inhaling on my count.

He knew what time I woke up.

He knew how I liked my coffee.

He knew the precise moment I realized someone had been inside my apartment.

Then he watched me choose the truth over my own survival…

…and everything changed.

Forty-one perfect contracts.

No mistakes.

Until me.

Instead of pulling the trigger, the clinical, cold-blooded killer broke every rule he’d ever lived by. He broke into my life. He became my shadow. And when the people who hired him realized he’d gone rogue, he turned his lethal focus on anyone who came after me.

Dane is meticulous, ruthless, and completely unhinged when it comes to me. He didn’t just walk away from the contract.

He decided no one else gets to touch me.

I know he’s a monster.

I know I should be running.

Instead, I’m learning that the only thing safer than hiding from the dark…

…is holding his coat while he clears the room.
