Max From the moment I saw her I knew she was mine, but there was just one problem. She was a job. A means to an end. But she didn't know that. I should have let her be but I couldn't. I had to have her and I would. Forces beyond my control wanted to tear us apart, but I promised myself that I wouldn't let that happen. Not with her. Not ever. Heather She'd been missing for five years and it was all my fault. I was close to saving her until he came into the picture. I was a goner the moment he touched me, but I can't shake the feeling that he's hiding something important. Something life changing. I only hope whatever this is between us doesn't hurt me; I'll never survive the pain if he's the cause.
