Sometimes the safest place to be is in the arms of the most dangerous man you know.

 

I should’ve known the silence around James Hill was a warning.

And being my brother’s best friend? That was the second red flag.

 

I grew up safe on my family’s ranch. A girl with no reason to look over her shoulder. Until my world fell apart.

 

Now I’m on the run with my brother Michael and the one man I was never supposed to love.

 

James carries too many scars and a past he never talks about, but when everything I love is ripped away, he’s the one catching me before I fall.

 

He’s dangerous in a way that shouldn’t make me feel safe… but it does.

And in a world where survival costs everything, loving him could cost me even more.

 

Because James has secrets.

Secrets that put a target on my back.

 

They call him an Outsider, like he’s the villain in this story.

But I see the truth.

And once you fall for an Outsider… there are no more rules.
