But that was then…
Years ago, imprisoned by the enemy after a covert op went wrong, Aiden “Shadow” Walker helped a desperate pregnant woman escape and find sanctuary. Walking away from her once she was safe was the hardest thing he’s ever done.
This is now…
When Serenity Securities gets word that Avie Rahimi and her son are in danger, Shadow knows he’s the only agent for the job. But gaining her trust will be a challenge. After all, Avie still feels the pang of loss from when Shadow walked away years before. Can Shadow convince her that he’s never forgotten her and he’s been Adoring Avie from afar all of this time?
Christmas lights hung on the house, sending a golden glow over the yard. At midnight, Avie and her son rolled the big balls of snow on one another, making a snowman. Their giggles filled the air as they dressed their creation. Shadow watched from his position, knowing the moment he made his presence known, Avie’s world would implode. She deserved to know of Rahimi’s search for her and the prison escape.
Avie ushered her son inside. Shadow signaled his team, letting them know he intended to enter the house. He melted into the shadows, picked the lock on the back door, and entered the kitchen.
“Deni, don’t forget to brush your teeth,” she called as she walked down the stairs. Avie approached the front window, which displayed their Christmas tree. The warm light highlighted her features, and his chest tightened when he saw her beauty after all these years. She scanned the street through the curtain before turning around.
He stepped out of his hiding spot. “Hello, Avie.”
She leaned against the wall and stared at him. Avie seemed unaffected by his presence, yet she brought him to his knees.
