    Summary

    He knows which mug she saves for him. He knows the long way she walks home. He knows what she writes when she thinks no one is watching.

    Frank Castle came to Milford to disappear. A rural house nine miles into the woods. A corner table at the local bakery. A past soaked in blood that nobody in this sleepy river town will ever learn about.

    Then a soft-spoken baker with ink-stained fingers hands him his coffee in a chipped blue mug, and something in him that’s been dead for years opens one eye.

    Evangeline Whitcomb is sweet. Proper. Painfully shy. She’s also running from something, and the men in long black coats who’ve started asking about her in town want her back.

    Frank will protect her. He’ll kill for her if he has to.

    He just won’t tell her that he’s been watching her too.

    One coaxing word at a time, he draws her closer, certain he’s the one in control. Certain she’s the lamb and he’s the wolf.

    He’s never been more wrong.

    Obsession. Devotion. Possession. A dark romance where the only road in is the only road out.
