Axel I lived by the Navy. Defended the Navy. And one day, I knew I’d be buried by the Navy. Until a yearning for something more slapped me across the face. I packed my things. Piled into my Jeep. And headed to the one place I knew was safe. My bones needed to rest. My mind needed some ease. And when a gorgeous red-headed angel walks into my life, I know exactly where to rest my head. Right between those luscious tits of hers. What I didn’t bargain for was her wit. What I didn’t bargain for was her sass. And when shadows from her past come back to haunt her, all I want is to keep her safe. Even if it kills me. Even if it devours me whole. Maggie I’ve been running my entire life. Running from a past that haunts me in my dreams. It took years to build the live I have. A life I can be proud of every single day. Then, he walks through those doors. The towering mountain of a man with eyes like ice. His winks steal my breath away. His hands dwarf my thick curves. And the more of him I taste, the more of him I want. I didn’t plan for him. I didn’t plan for this. But when my nightmares become reality? He’s the only person I want at my side. Even if he doesn’t plan on sticking around.
