Nomad

I wanted to stay but left to keep her safe, only to return with a world of danger.

I'm a wanderer with no roots and no future.

She's a nurturer with dreams of a home filled with family.

We never stood a chance.

Or at least that's what I tell myself.

I left her.

No note.

No text or call.

No explanation.

It had to be like that-the only way to keep her safe.

Until danger drags me back into town and my worst fear comes true.

Willow's life is in the hands of a ruthless bully.

While we race to uncover my family's deadly secrets and end the threat, her distrust eats at me.

I can't 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, I'm forced to face a bitter truth.

I don't deserve her and she may never forgive me, but I can't walk away.
