Let’s face it though, nothing before, or in the ten years since, has ever been easy for me. But I’m doing okay. Sorta. I just need to keep scraping by, living under the radar. Staying out of people’s way, off people’s minds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSo when a man walks through my open patio door, stepping boldly into my home, and my life, I should be scared. Frightened. Terrified. But I must be more broken than I realized, because I’m none of those things. I’m intrigued.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd I’m wondering if the way to take control of my life is by giving in to him.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNero\u003cbr\u003eThe first time I took a man’s life, I knew there’d be no going back. No normal existence in the cards for me.\u003cbr\u003eSo instead of walking away, I climbed a mountain of bodies, and created my own destiny. By forming The Alliance. And I was fine with that. Content enough to carry on.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUntil I stepped through those open doors, and into her life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI should’ve walked away. Should’ve gone right back out the door I came through. But I didn’t. And now her life is in danger. But that’s the thing about being a bad man. I’ll happily paint the streets red to protect what’s mine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd Payton is mine. Whether she knows it or not.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Raincoast","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42737335009328,"sku":"9781649379825","price":23.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0606\/7496\/5552\/files\/819cL_KVHUL._AC_UF1000_1000_QL80_FMwebp.webp?v=1776372394","url":"https:\/\/forbiddenlibrary.ca\/products\/nero","provider":"The Forbidden Library","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
