Absolution — Diane Alberts

Eva can't believe Joseph dares to show his face after he cheated on her with a stripper. She kicked him out, and despite his claims of being assigned to protect her from the Cartel, she has no desire to let him back in. Her life very well might be in danger, but she fears more for the safety of her heart.

Six weeks ago, Joseph's life with Eva was decimated. Every day since, he's fought to win back her love. But everything conspires against him. Even her father has kept them apart…until Eva's life is jeopardized. Joseph could care less if she despises the very thought of him being by her side. His duty is to keep her alive, even if being her bodyguard ends up being the death of him.

Can they put their painful history aside and work together against her enemy? Or will the past prove too strong to be overcome?
