Excerpt:​
“So, next time you want me to just watch as a guy manhandles you. That isn’t an easy thing for me to do. I hate bullies.” He’d dealt with enough of them in his time.
Shoulders rising and falling, Sofie sighed. “I guess you saved me some time. Thank you. But, for the record, I didn’t promise him anything.”
He took her hand and squeezed. “Doesn’t matter if you did. It’s your right to change your mind and any man has to understand that. End of story.”
The smile she sent his way made him feel like the hero in a movie, coming home to a cheering crowd. If only he actually had a home to return to.
