In Aeternum: Protected by Shadows

She's everything he wants and all he knows he shouldn't have...when danger strikes will he give it all up or is he doomed to live the rest of his life without her? Valentino Cassano is a man who lives in shadows, lies and secrets. He works for a group that he can't tell anyone about. When the ugliness from that world affects the woman he's had a thing with for a few years, he refuses to let her face it alone. Lexy Camden loves her life as a veterinarian. However when everything gets turned upside down and Valentino inserts himself into routine for more than a few days things get complicated...fast. The feelings she'd been ignoring for so long won't give her a moment's peace. As the danger to her escalates, and part of Valentino's past comes out, will they have a chance to be a real couple or will it all be shattered with the simple pull of a trigger? Valentino has lost a lot and has no plans to do so again, now if he can just convince Lexy to give him another shot.
