I found her trembling in the trees, all soft curves and terrified eyes. Right then, I knew I’d burn down the world to keep her. Colt****I’ve pulled bodies from burning wreckage, faced down infernos in collapsed buildings, and built a life in these woods to escape the betrayal that nearly killed me. But nothing hits like her. Willow crashes into my world with fear in her bones and nowhere left to run. She’s sunshine-soft and heartbreak-beautiful, all trembling curves and tear-bright eyes. The second I lay eyes on her, I know she’s mine to protect. Mine to feed. Mine to touch so gently it makes her breath catch, and claim so fully she never runs again. She doesn’t trust anyone, but I don’t need her trust to keep her safe. I just need her close. Because whoever hurt her is still out there. And I’ve got a message for him. He doesn’t get a second chance. Willow I wasn’t supposed to make it this far. I saw something I wasn’t supposed to, and now the only plan I have is don’t stop, don’t trust, don’t look back. Then he stepped out of the trees. Colt is terrifying to everyone else. He's taller than the cabin doorway, scarred and massive with a voice like thunder, but when he touches me, I feel safe. Cherished. He doesn’t talk much. He cooks for me, guards me, stitches my name into his survival jacket like a promise. I should be scared. Instead, I want to stay. Because somehow, this fierce, quiet mountain man sees me. And every time he says I’m his, I start to believe I might be worth keeping.
