Excerpt:
*********
“Juniper. What happened? Please.” Jaxon said, his voice filled with concern.

“She knew, Jaxon. She blamed me and kicked me out. The deal was made in bad faith. He knew that she knew. He played me.” I laughed with tears in my eyes.

“Teddy left with me. Mr. Reed says we can stay here as long as we need.”

“I… I can’t believe it.” He murmured.

I felt him drawing close. The urge to throw myself into his arms and let him comfort me was strong. I didn’t know what to do. I realized my anger was caused by my embarrassment, but I couldn’t let it go. His hand came down on my shoulder and he pulled me back against his body.

He was warm and solid behind me. Jaxon slid his arm across my chest and held my shoulders against him. He slipped the other around my waist. Jaxon rested his chin on top of my head and I closed my eyes. It felt safe and secure.

I’d put so much work into maintaining an air of calm and control. There was nothing left to hold on to. My whole life, my whole plan, was dependent on freeing myself and my family. What did I have anymore?

“Hush, sweet. I have you now. You’re safe. Don’t cry anymore, my sweet girl.” He whispered as he held me tightly.
