Paige
Prison was supposed to be my punishment.
No one warned me the real sentence would begin after I got out.
To everyone else, I'll always be an ex-con. A criminal. The girl who stole a horse.
No one cares why I did it.
It doesn't matter how hard I work to rebuild my life, I'll always be the girl with a record.
Until I met Xander.
He's quiet, guarded, and carrying wounds I can't see, but understand. He never looks at me the way everyone else does. Instead of judging who I was, he sees the woman I'm trying to become.
The more time we spend together, the harder it is to ignore what I'm feeling.
Because falling for Xander means believing I deserve something I've stopped letting myself hope for...
A second chance.
Xander
I came to Falcon Pointe to leave my past behind.
After losing everything that mattered, I stopped believing there was any point in wanting more. Working behind the bar keeps me busy. Fighting keeps my mind quiet. It's easier that way. Easier than letting anyone get close enough to leave.
Then Paige walked into my life.
She's stronger than she realizes, and carrying burdens no one should ever have to bear. The world sees her mistakes.
I see her.
The closer I get, the more impossible it becomes to imagine letting her go. But loving someone means risking everything, and I already know what it feels like to lose the future I thought I was supposed to have.
The world may have condemned us for our pasts.
But the hardest sentence to escape... is the one we've handed ourselves.
