Estella Reyes is the pastor’s daughter—sweet and dutiful. But the truth is messier. She’s been with Sam for years, a boyfriend whose grip on her life has grown darker and tighter. When Sam forces her to get a tattoo that binds her to him, it’s East—the young, brooding, guarded artist—who recognizes the truth in her silence. It’s East who risks everything to protect her, even if it means faking the mark on her skin. And when he finds out what else Sam did to her, he wants to kill him.
But East also made it he wants nothing to do with her. Until she finds herself cornered, fearing for her life, and reaching out to him from across the globe, all the way from the Philippines. Now, he must confront what he tried to outrun, the boundaries he tried to keep, and the feelings he can’t ignore, all to keep her safe.
