Athena is just as beautiful as the day Darius broke her heart. He can’t believe she’s involved with a criminal, but before he can confront her, a sudden attack leaves her defenseless in his arms.
In an instant, Athena is rendered temporarily blind and completely vulnerable. A motorcycle garage is no place for a wounded woman, but Darius will do anything to protect her—and atone for how he once treated her. There’s only one problem: Athena can’t see him and doesn’t recognize his voice. To her, Darius is nothing more than the Good Samaritan who saved her life… and he doesn’t correct her.
Darius knows there are lines that shouldn’t be crossed, but when he’s around her, he can’t stay away… and she doesn’t want him to. Tenderness turns to trust. Trust turns to touch. And touch tempts him to tell her the truth—that he’s no hero, but the man who was once the villain in her story.
Unfortunately, fate doesn’t leave him with a choice. Someone wants Athena dead, and to save her life Darius will have to put his heart on the line and reveal the secret he’s fought so hard to conceal.
