Mason by Khloe Summers

When I first see River, she’s naked and shaking. The cold Alaskan spring whipping wet rain against her innocent body.
I say innocent, because compared to me, she’s about as sweet as they come.
After years of deployment, my view on life is a bit gruffer, and I believe whole heartedly that not everyone deserves a second chance.
Especially men like Tony Lavaki. Men like him prey on innocent women like River, and I refuse to let him win.
My goal is to protect River, keep her safe from the world as long as humanly possible.
I wasn’t expecting anything else.
She’s too young, too good for me.
But she isn’t taking no for an answer, and I’m not sure how long I can hold out.
