I thought I had my new purpose... until I met them.

Shane

The military was my entire life from the moment I graduated high school. It was my purpose. The reason I got out of bed each morning. It gave me a routine and structure, something I had to have in my life to even function.

But then an accident, completely unrelated to my job, happened, and I had to be discharged.

Zeppelin, my boss, found me on a bridge ready to end it all. He gave me a home above his tattoo shop, gave me a job as a tattoo designer, and finally, he put a tattoo machine in my hand. That became my new normal. My structure. My routine.

Until X steps into my life and blows everything to pieces. He's obsessed. Possessive. Sociopathic. And his adorable doctor boyfriend, Preston, just enables his behavior.

They both want me, but I'm fighting to keep my distance. I don't need their disruption.

But when X's tech guy turns up dead and Preston is targeted, keeping space between me and them is no longer an option.

I'll find whoever is targeting them, and when I do, they'll realize who the true monster is in this world.

And it's not the diagnosed sociopath that's been stalking me.

It's me.
