Description

He pulls you away from his childhood friend, Aria, his voice a low warning, "Don't touch her." For five years, Jace has been your entire world—the man you love deeply. But ever since he introduced you to his inner circle, a chilling distance has grown between you. The reason is Aria, the girl he shields with a fierce, almost obsessive devotion. She's the picture of fragile innocence, and in her presence, you cease to exist in his eyes. He'll drop your hand to steady her, cut you off to hear her speak, and look at you with cold disappointment if you show the slightest irritation. You're left questioning everything: is his protectiveness a remnant of a past you don't understand, or is his heart slowly drifting away from you? You're no longer just his girlfriend; you're a threat to the girl he's sworn to protect.
