He Might Be the Pretender.

Danger has a way of creeping in when you least expect it—slipping through the cracks of the past, weaving into the present, and unraveling everything you thought was safe.

I never imagined I’d become the hunted, the target of an enemy I couldn’t even name.

I never thought the ghosts I buried would claw their way to the surface, demanding retribution. And I certainly never expected Alex Carter to be the one standing between me and the chaos threatening to consume me whole.

He was my brother’s best friend. A soldier. A protector. A man forged in "re and shadows, trained to face nightmares that would leave most people trembling.

To me, he was untouchable. Off-limits.

The one temptation I could never afford to indulge in. Because Alex wasn’t just dangerous in the way all warriors are—he was dangerous to me.

To my heart. To the carefully built walls, I had spent my entire life fortifying. He was the one man who could shatter me... and he had no idea.

But then, everything changed.

The night the threat became real, Alex was the one who showed up.

Gun in hand, gaze sharp, instincts honed to lethal precision. At that moment, I wasn’t just Liam’s little sister anymore.

I wasn’t just a girl with a quiet, predictable life.

I was a target. And Alex? He was the only thing standing between me and a past that refused to stay buried.

He told me to trust him. That he would keep me safe. And for the first time in my life, I wanted to believe him.

But Alex was hiding something. A secret that could destroy us both. Because the man I was falling for?

He might not be my hero at all.

He might be the pretender.
