EOIN
Even as I brought her deeper into my world,
I swore I would keep her safe.
But the closer she gets to me,
the closer the wolves begin to circle.
Her past is a curse that won’t let go,
while mine taunts me from the shadows.
One man wants her alive, another wants her dead.
Silenced.
And I am running out of mercy and time.
Every vow I’ve made to protect her costs another piece of my soul.
I tell myself this is necessary.
That having her is worth the blood.
But, what happens now that she sees
the monster I truly am?
EVELYN
I was never meant to survive the childhood that haunts me.
I was meant to disappear.
There are whispers about my mother.
About things I don’t remember.
Truths that could destroy one man’s empire,
If he doesn’t destroy me first.
But safety looks like locked doors,
blood on his hands,
and a man who kills for me without hesitation.
I’m just starting to see how far
the Irish Devil will go to keep me safe,
and I’m not sure how either of us will survive it.
