Loss Of My Life

A story of love, danger, and the kind of devotion that destroys.

Robin Blackwood lives a quiet life tucked behind the pages of her bookstore, where the world makes sense and her heart is safe. But safety shatters the night she realises she’s being followed—saved at the last second by a stranger with eyes as cold as the gun he carries. His name is Zane Thorne, and from the moment he steps into her world, nothing feels safe again.

Zane runs a world built on blood and loyalty. He’s ruthless, untouchable, and doesn’t make mistakes—until Robin. Protecting her should’ve been simple. Keeping her close was supposed to be temporary. But every stolen glance, every unspoken moment between them, turns into a war he can’t win. Because the closer she gets, the more his past claws its way to the surface.

As danger closes in, Robin finds herself caught in a storm she never asked for, torn between the man she should fear and the one her heart can’t let go of. And when love turns into a weapon, survival means choosing which part of herself she’s willing to lose.

In the end, not all lives are taken by death—
some are lost to love.

A haunting slow-burn romance filled with forbidden longing, moral grey areas, and a love so dangerous it might just destroy them both.
