SINS of the Syndicate

Ivy
It should have been just one night.
One insane night, I tossed out inhibitions, my reserved nature... my brain cells.
I let myself go with a total stranger.
I had no idea who he was.
Just that he protected me. Made me feel safe.
And I did what any self-respecting girl would do after a crazy, mind-blowing night.
I waited till he took a shower and snuck the hell out of there.

To the outside world, I'm known only as Z. The enforcer. A widower with nothing to lose. An ex-SEAL sworn to keep one vow: protect the D'Angelo's at all costs.
I'm not a good man, and I never claimed to be.
Protecting her was second nature. Nothing more.
Claiming her was just a one-night escape.

But she made one mistake— a cardinal sin.
Slipping away on her terms. Not mine.

No strings.
No commitments.
No names?
No way.

There's just one price for my protection.
And it's her.
