Her Damaged Protector by Kelli Walker

I wanted to erase the mistakes of my past,
To forget that I’d lost everything I once loved.
To forget my wife and unborn son were dead.
But then I found Savannah.
The moment I met her I knew—she was running from something.
She was broken like me, hiding behind fear and sadness.
The moment I tasted her I knew she was mine.
I shouldn’t have let myself fall for her,
I shouldn’t have let her five year old son burrow into my cold, dead heart.
She deserves a world I can’t give her.
But I’m a greedy bastard.
Instead of walking away I claimed her in more ways than I can count.
She warned me to stay away,
She told me she didn’t need saving.
Now the shadows she’s trying to outrun have caught up to her,
And I’ll do everything I can to keep her and her son safe.
Even it means I have to lose everything again in the process.
