Gunner by Lily L. James

She doesn’t know me—but she’s always been mine.
Five years, I’ve been the shadow in her past. She don’t know the man who rescued her from her kidnapper that night was me. And it’s gotta stay that way.
Diletta’s got a new life now—bright, clean, miles away from my world of violence and sin. Watchin’ her from the sidelines was supposed to be enough.
But one chance meeting, one brush of those eyes and I’m wrecked.
She don’t recognize me, but I know the truth, and we’re both gonna be in danger if our past catches up with us. So for her sake I gotta hit the road.
I wasn’t counting on Diletta—that woman won’t let me go, so I stay and fight for us both. But when our peace is shattered can I save her, or is war gonna come to our small town?
This ride’s gonna break me. But if it keeps her safe? I’ll take the hit.
