Eden I have to get away from the bustling city life, away from high expectations and away from demanding voices telling me what to do every single second. Having a mother whose greed comes before her daughter and a father too passive to talk back to his wife, I can’t stand my mother breathing down my neck and controlling every aspect of my life. That’s why I choose to leave them. I have no destination in mind, just simply getting away from the city is my goal. A town with mountains behind it sounds intimidatingly appealing. Then I meet the big, grumpy, and very strong Callen. He’s everything I’m trying to avoid. Controlling, domineering, and possessive. Callen I have been in the mountains for too long, and it’s my choice to stay away from civilization. Being a convicted felon doesn’t sit well with the people in town and I honestly don’t give a damn about what they think. I prefer solitude, and when a little girl came barreling into my world with that lost look on her pretty face, I knew my life would soon change. Nothing brings a spark more explosive than this obsessiveness curling in my stomach when I see her. I had to have that tempting and barely legal girl. Prison has toughened me up more than I already was, and her trusting nature makes her too big of a target for any man thinking of her untouched body. She trusted this savage beast of a man to keep his hands to himself and protect her from danger. Two years and counting, my babygirl still believes I’m a good man.
