Anton - Harris

When my brother orders me to kill Thora Whitlock,

there’s no hesitation.

Murder comes easy when you feel nothing.

Thora is supposed to be nothing.

The enemy’s daughter.

A woman easily erased.

So I follow her.

Study her.

Uncover all her secrets.

What I don’t expect is to speak to her.

Or watch my terrifying dog roll onto his back the second she touches him.

That should’ve been my first warning.

The second comes when I find her crying outside a bar

and do something I’ve never done before.

Bring my target home.

Thora is everything I don’t understand.

Gentle.

Stubborn.

Too brave for her own good.

And the more I touch her,

the more I realize she’s the only one

who has ever made me feel anything.

But wanting her is dangerous.

Keeping her is worse.

And when she’s taken from me,

I become the one thing I was never meant to be.

Her savior.
