Ever since I became a spotter for JW Franklin, I felt as if I had a family. His mother Zoey was a wonder to me. I mean, the woman welcomed me into her heart as if I was another son to her. The younger cousins treated me like an older brother.
The rest of the family? They were the usual uber-wealthy snobs you'd expect from the upper crust of New York City society.
I didn't mind them too much. I wasn't there long enough to let them affect me anyway.
And then she grew up to look like a goddess, angel and temptress rolled into one.
I didn't know whether to drool, carry her off to my bedroom or run.
I ran.
Mentally and emotionally at least.
Until everything literally blew up in my life.
After the last deployment to Afghanistan, all I wanted was peace and quiet.
Her family is the furthest thing from peace and quiet.
When a retiring Reserve General from the Dakotas offered me a job on his ranch, I took it and told myself that she was better off without me. That a poor kid like me without a family would never be considered good enough for a woman like her. I didn't want to deal with that rejection.
A man has some pride, right?
Until Zoey called and said Giselle was in danger.
My pride be damned.
I was heading to NYC to claim my woman and make sure she knew exactly where she belonged.
At my side.
In my bed.
