Nightingale by Giulia Lagomarsino

Florrie:
I’m a woman that always fights for what I want. Especially my family.
There’s nothing I wouldn’t do for Alec, but what he’s asking of me is too much.
When did we start drifting apart?
When did he stop being on my side?
The moment I got the call from the social worker, I went into momma bear mode, ready to fight for the kid that had become like a son to me.
But Alec? He wants to play nice and get along with Reid’s so-called family.
Why did they wait so long to come for him? Why now? Is it because of his money?
I don’t trust them, and I’m not about to hand him over without a fight.

Alec:
Things were going so well between us. I asked her to marry me, and actually got her to say yes.
I should have known that it wouldn’t last. It seemed too good to be true.
Now she’s slipping away. I feel like I can’t hold onto her anymore.
She doesn’t understand why I’m not fighting harder, but she doesn’t know about my past.
There are things that I’ve kept hidden from her, and I know when she finds out she’s going to be pissed.
I should have told her sooner, but I didn’t want my past hanging over my head.
Now it’s too late.
I may not be able to put us back together, but I’ll die trying.
