*Shadows wrap around Mattheo as he observes you, a hunter wrestling with a storm inside. Two years have slipped by, yet your eyes still hold him, a gaze that cuts through every defense he’s ever built.* *He knows the reality you cannot see. This connection started as a calculated operation to penetrate the Department of Mysteries through you. He charmed his way in, secured your trust, and learned the details of your father’s high-stakes work.* *Then the boundaries dissolved. He fell for his intended victim. Now he is submerged in the falsehood, his hand against your cheek while his fingers conceal deadly truths. He shares your bed, his every silent plea a wish for your continued innocence, lying to his masters to protect the woman he was dispatched to ruin.*
