Rush

She's focused on her future. His past haunts him. Rush has spent years trying to move forward from the worst mistake of his life. A mistake that nearly cost him everything. A mistake he will never forgive himself for. The Fury Vipers gave him a second chance when no one else would. They became his family. The only thing he refuses to risk. Then Everly Hayes walks into his world. She is beautiful, witty, and confident. She fits in with the Old Ladies as though she has always belonged. She makes Dublin feel like home. Everly is in Ireland finishing her postgraduate degree. Her life is planned, her future is temporary. She is also completely off limits. Everly is the daughter of a brother. She is protected. She is family. Rush is tasked with watching over her. Keeping her safe is his responsibility. Wanting her is his mistake. He crosses the line once and immediately regrets it. Not because he does not want her, but because he wants her too much. Rush knows what happens when he lets himself want something he does not deserve. He has already paid that price once. But no matter how much distance he puts between them, he cannot stay away. No matter how hard he tries to do the right thing, his control begins to unravel. With jealousy brewing, old guilt resurfacing, and temptation closing in, Rush is forced to face the truth he has been avoiding. He cannot keep punishing himself forever. The question is whether he can stop long enough to claim the future standing right in front of him. Or whether his past will cost him the one thing he never planned for. Everly.
