She made me a better man, but I still wasn’t good enough to keep her.
Born and raised in Brooklyn, with sleeve tattoos, ripped muscle and a
cold-hearted stare, I am who I am. The bad boy she knew to stay away
from.

I knew we were never supposed to last. But the way her lips

Review
I was so happy when this dropped in my kindle! I had been patienly waiting for this so I could see how everything was going to unfold between Evan and Kat.
This had as much if not more angst then Damaged, and I say that because at one point I thought all would be lost and there might be no hope for these two. In that regard this book had me on the edge of my seat. And God it had a couple really sad bits that just really get to you. *sheds tear*
All the drama and mystery behind Tony's murder unfolds, and woah plot twist! I felt so bad for Evan, he was really shook with the truth, and with good reason too.
Everything came out in the end and everything was worked out, both regarding the murder plot and the romance plot. I'm so happy that Evan and Kat worked everything out and actually talked about the whole mess whilst being honest with each other. Even if Evan isn't much the sharing his feelings type, he managed to do it anyway. However, in the end he couldn't help but sin one last time and keep one last secret. Even if the bastard deserved what he got. He was a bad boy through and through, but this time he was bad with good intentions and to protect his family.
I loved reading this duet. It was different from what I'm used to reading but I really enjoyed it. Angst-y books always do it for me. I don't even question it anymore.
I'm excited to go back and read Jules and Mason's duet, and for the rest of the series!
Buried deep inside of me, he whispers, “Tell me you love me.” “Always,” the word slips out easily, my eyes still closed. I slowly open them to see Evan’s expression. I’m struck by the intensity of his gaze. The need, the desire, the possession. “Say the words,” he commands. “I’ll always love you,” I tell him softly, the words barely audible.

Evan
Damn me for what I’ve done,
Hate me for the lie.
Let the web weave and thread,
But don’t let what we have die.
I know it in my blood,
She’s mine to keep and hold.
I’ll stop fighting only once,
When I’m dead and cold.
The piles of dirt are getting larger. The metal shovels
pierce the frozen soil. The sound cuts through my bones, one and then another
and another.

It’s been constant as I stand here, helpless. I’ve never
been colder, the wind and bitter snow beseiging my body, but I still don’t
move.

I can’t take my eyes from the two graves.
The shovels spill the dirt, the piles mounting as my eyes
drift to the tombstones.

I wake up breathless, my heart pounding and I swear I can

Just a terror. The same as last night.
I’m quick to grab the video monitor for the security system
from the nightstand and flick the button on to bring it to life. I had it
installed after the break-in.

She’s okay.
I close my eyes and when I open them, it’s an image of her
rolling over in bed. To my side. My fingers brush the glass where she is. I’ll
be there soon. I’ll be with her and it’ll all be over. I won’t let her down.

Willow Winters is so happy to be a USA Today, Wall Street Journal and #1 Contemporary Bestselling Romance Author. She likes her action hot and her bad boys hotter. She certainly doesn’t hold back on either one in her writing!
Willow started writing after having her little girl, Evie, December 2015. All during her pregnancy with Evie she continued to read and she only wanted to read romance. She was reading a book a day — sometimes two.
In January 2016 Willow was staying up late with Evie and just thinking of all these stories. They came to her constantly so she finally sat down and just started writing. She always wanted to do it so she figured, why not? Today Willow cannot be happier for making that decision!
