The Shadow by K. Alex Walker

Michael Huang was once the son of the most powerful man in China.

But, in one night, the empire his family has built for centuries crumbles, forcing him into hiding at the age of ten.
From then on, the only life he’s ever known has been on the run.
There’s no normalcy for someone like him.
No settling down.
Everything he’s ever had has come by way of fighting for it or fighting against it.
So, when Xara Merritt enters his life, he tries to fight feelings he’s never experienced.
He fights to remember why he can’t have her, no matter how much he wants her.
He fights until he loses.
Then, it no longer matters that he’s a marked man.
Or that the woman he loves doesn’t even know his real name.
Now, the only thing he cares about is doing whatever it takes to keep her safe.
Whatever it takes.
