Anton by Jax Knight

Can love bloom in the shadow of fear and a relentless chase for survival?

Anton

After losing everything, I swore I’d never risk my heart again. My life was about control, precision, and keeping others safe—on my terms. Then Marcie stormed into my world, all fire and strength, despite the terror stalking her. The pull between us was impossible to ignore. I tried to fight it, to keep my distance, but when danger forced us into running for our lives, her resilience and unyielding spirit drew me in, threatening to tear down the walls I’d spent years building. But when everything was on the line, could I open my heart and risk losing her, too?

Marcie

As a homeless runaway, I rebuilt my life from nothing—until a stalker shattered my hard-won safety. Hiring Anton had seemed like the answer. He was strong, steady, and maddeningly irresistible. But while I made my interest clear, he kept me at arm’s length, teasing me with moments of closeness only to pull away. When I finally decided to move on, we were thrust into a nightmare—a hunt orchestrated by a madwoman. Forced to rely on each other, I saw the man behind the walls Anton had built as he slowly let them fall, capturing my heart in the process. But when survival wasn’t guaranteed, could I trust what we had found in the chaos, or would he retreat back into his fortress when the danger was over?

Can Anton and Marcie survive the hunt and face the truth of their connection?
