The first in an edgy new contemporary romance series that follows a family on the run, from the author of the USA Today bestselling A Little Too Far series…
As the oldest son of a Chicago crime lord, Robert Delgado always knew how dangerous life could be. With his mother dead and his father in prison, he’s taking charge of his family’s safety—putting himself and his siblings in witness protection to hide out in a backwater Florida town.
Fourth grade teacher Adri Wilson is worried about the new boy in her class. Sherm is quiet and evasive, especially when he’s around his even cagier older brother. Adri can’t help her attraction to Rob, or the urge to help them both in whatever way she can.
But the Delgados have enemies on two sides of the mob—their father’s former crew and the rival family he helped take down. It’s only a matter of time before someone finds them. And if Rob isn’t careful, Adri could end up in the crossfire…
Rob may be a tough guy, but he sure does have an amazing swoony side!

To Adri, my kryptonite,
I have never in my life written a love letter…probably because never in my life have I been in love. Until now. I don’t know how you did it, but more than the contract on my family’s lives, more than Federal Witness Protection, you’ve flipped my entire world on its head. Everything I was before, the power, the money, it all feels so insignificant in comparison to what you’ve made me. You say I am electricity to your bulb. If that is true, I will trust you to light our way through the darkness that my past has created in our future. There are promises I can’t make you—safety, stability—but what I can promise is this: for however long our forever is, a month or fifty years, I will strive to be someone who deserves you.
And I will lay down my life to protect you.
Yours forever,
Rob
