I wanted to stay but left to keep her safe, only to return with a world of danger.
Iâm a wanderer with no roots and no future.
Sheâs a nurturer with dreams of a home filled with family.
We never stood a chance.
Or at least thatâs what I tell myself.
I left her.
No note.
No text or call.
No explanation.
It had to be like thatâthe only way to keep her safe.
Until danger drags me back into town and my worst fear comes true.
Willowâs life is in the hands of a ruthless bully.
While we race to uncover my familyâs deadly secrets and end the threat, her distrust eats at me.
I canât blame her.
I lied to her, broke her trust, maybe even her heart, though I did it for the right reasons. Determined to do everything in my power to protect her, Iâm forced to face a bitter truth.
I donât deserve her and she may never forgive me, but I canât walk away.
