The problem is, the more I get to know Ari, the harder I fall.
And then she’s promised to another and there’s a chance I might lose her for good.
Except, her father doesn’t know who he’s messing with and Ari fails to realise one thing—she’s mine and I will use every tool in my arsenal to protect what’s mine.

And the question is, will the man I love fight for us?
