Through Any Fire

If I had my way, I would’ve married him in a heartbeat. Even knowing the consequences, I would’ve fallen willingly and gladly into his raging storm. It didn’t matter that we were teenagers, that he was the heir to the rival Keane family, or that I was arguably too young to know he was the love of my life. When we were together, all that danger was just static noise we tuned out...until that fateful day.

​

Eleven years later, I can still find the sharp ache of his betrayal right where it burrowed. It’s haunted me with each breath, no matter how often I lied to myself I was moving on.

​

Only now, my brother has gone missing. Sent into Keane territory on a mission to be made, no one has heard from Mason in weeks. Any goodwill I had with the Bianchi family dried up long ago, when my father died. Now, the only way I can save my brother is to swallow the bitter sting of betrayal and beg Callahan for help. Somehow, I choke the words out, each one more painful than the last, but for Mason, I’d do anything.

​

The only catch? Callahan needs a wife. And he’s been waiting for the day I return.
