My men call me the last man standing, since theyve all partnered up. Ive long since given up on finding love for myself. I had a shot at it, but she was the daughter of my familys bitterest enemies.
When Angelica was sent away, she took my heart with her. I accepted I wouldnt have love in my life without her. Instead, Ive devoted my life first to serving in the Army, and now taking over for my father in protecting King Mountain and helping the women we shelter at Creek Ravine. And its enough.
Or thats what I tell myself.
Until Angelica shows up again. Seeing her sparks so many emotions. Desire. Distrust. A longing so deep I feel it in every part of my soul.
We reach a tentative truce, and after a heavenly night in her arms, I think maybe we have a shot.
And then I find out the truth about what happened between our great-grandpas, and everything crumbles.
Yet I know without a doubt that shes the woman I want in my life, but how can that happen with the weight of our past? Can our love conquer generations of lies and family feuding?
