Knight by Mazzy King

Knight:
Let me tell you a story of a young knight.
Once upon a time, he had the love of life right in his arms. He loved her, she loved him, and all was right with the world.
But then he went to war, and the terrible things he saw and did threatened to destroy him. Threatened to drown him. And before he could slip under the water, he released his love so she could have a better life.
Without him. Without the poison inside him.
The problem?
He’s never stopped loving her, and he can’t let her go. He can’t live without her.
She’s his happily ever after. He needs her forgiveness.
But the young knight has no idea if she can forgive him…or will.

Devin:
I’ve loved Alexander Knight since he was a young sailor in the Navy.
When he became a SEAL, no one was prouder than me.
I knew the sacrifice that comes with loving a man in the military. And I was proud to do my duty.
But when he came back from Afghanistan three years ago, he wasn’t the same.
I was prepared to love him back to health. To let him know I would keep him safe from the nightmares, the pain.
But he pushed me away.
I’ve never been able to go far from Alex, and when I took over the military bar near the base, it was torture to see him every day.
But I have to stay close, have to make sure he’s all right.
Even if looking at the love of my life who’s no longer mine destroys me.
