Shiv by Autumn Summers

Shiv:
I had every reason to walk away.
She was half my age. And if we got caught together… well, it’d be my balls on the chopping block.
And yet I couldn’t get her out of my head – couldn’t keep my hands off of her.
But the question remained – did she want me as much as I wanted her? Was I worth it to her when it meant walking away from the life she used to have?

Tara:
When I came back to New York, I wasn’t looking for a man. I was running away from one.
But sometimes things just… happen.
And sometimes they happen for a reason. I could have done without the parental disapproval or the death threats but when someone’s worth fighting for, you just have to go against all logic and just make that leap of faith.
But the question remained – would he catch me or let me fall?
