Hawk

In "Vesper," Mika has carved out a safe life in Texas after fleeing from a troubled past and an abusive relationship. When danger resurfaces, he reluctantly turns to Duncan "Hawk" Hawkins, an ex-military bodyguard who embodies everything Mika has tried to avoid—big, tough, and commanding. As Hawk offers protection and teaches Mika to reclaim his strength, a powerful connection develops, forcing Mika to confront his fears about trust and vulnerability. With danger looming from his past, Mika faces a critical choice: continue running or stand and fight alongside Hawk.
