Leon

Leon was supposed to die in childhood, after heart surgery.
But he survived and paid too high a price for it.
Since then, Emily Moran entered his life.
For years, he avoided her gaze and did everything to make her avoid him.
It was safer… for both of them.
But when Emily came of age, fate stopped asking. Their time had come.
Leon allowed himself a game in which he hoped to win: to take her as an elite trophy, another demonstration of power.
But he miscalculated.
He staked his power, name, heart — and her life.
And lost.
“Leon” is the second book in the “Escort” series. A dark backstory that will explain why the hero of the first book became what he became and what tragedy forever changed the fates of all who were near.
