Women don’t stay... no matter how much you love them. And I can’t chance it with her... because when she leaves me... I wouldn’t survive it. I’m not a nice guy. I don’t even try to be. I take what I want and then I move on. I never thought about having a wife and kids... Until I met Emily. She makes me want things I know I shouldn’t. So I’m mean to her. I’m not proud of it, but it is what it is. But I can’t ignore her when she needs me. I have to take care of her... I need her safe. Now all I have to do is fight the temptation because I know she’ll never really be mine... not forever. And that’s all I want... Emily—forever. Rigid is the third book in the Whiskey Run: Savage Ink series. If you love reading about emotionally wounded men and the women that help them overcome their past, then you’ll love Dawson and Emily’s story.
