I broke a rule to help a woman in need. I wanted to be her hero. And now it's going to cost me...

I broke a cardinal rule the day I gave Alissa Drake my phone number. Now I've put myself and all my dreg brothers at risk.
But how can I ignore a woman in danger? She calls to me like no other. Stunning on the outside, shattered underneath. The pain in her damaged soul mirrors mine.
For her, I want to break the rules. To change the world. My world. And make it ours.
But I can heal only physical wounds. Not a battered heart.
Now the dominoes are falling. One by one.
My dreg partner is missing. Our safety is at stake.
The gangs are closing in. And the clock is ticking.
If I am going to be her hero, I must go back to the life I fled.
And become the killer I was trained to be.
