Lifeline by Maura O'Rourke

Nora O'Doyle came in for a tattoo. She left with a lifeline.

Dominic Morozov doesn't do connections. He does contracts. But the woman who sat in his chair - grieving, guarded, braver than she knows - has become the exception to every rule he's ever made.

When the criminal network targeting Nora collides with the organization that owns Dominic's loyalty, he'll have to choose between the life he was built for and the one he's only just learned to want.

Some choices can't be taken back.

Lifeline - a dark contemporary romance about being seen for the first time and refusing to disappear again.
