โ€œThey were kings, and for a brief part of my life, I was allowed to live inside their kingdom.โ€


Branwen

Little girls grow up, and time steals their innocence. Memories fade, and things you love change. Except for me. You see, I fell in love at first sight when I was six years old. The problem with that was he was a grown man. My young heart had believed that he belonged to me. That should have faded with time. It didnโ€™t. Although I hadnโ€™t seen him in over twenty years, I still found myself measuring up the men I dated to him. That was until the day he walked into a nightclub in Vegas and sat down beside me at the bar.


He didnโ€™t recognize the woman I had become, but I knew exactly who he was. My heart had soared, and the flutters in my stomach that no one else had ever stirred came roaring back to life. Fate had brought him back to me.


Waking up in his suite alone the next morning with a note and a morning after pill with no way to contact him had taught me that flutters were not to be trusted and that fate was a mean bitch.


Five years later, I am engaged, happy, and about to give my four-year-old daughter the life I want for her, complete with a white picket fence and a father.


That isโ€ฆ until I find out that I canโ€™t get married. Because I already am.


Linc


The fact I never asked a woman I slept with her name served a purpose. If I didnโ€™t know it, then I wouldnโ€™t have to remember it. No getting them confused and saying the wrong one in the heat of the moment. Hell, I didnโ€™t remember most of their faces. I got what I needed and left. My life wasnโ€™t meant for relationships. Iโ€™d tried it. My ex-wife now lives in Europe with her current husband.


The day I walked outside to find the gorgeous blonde Iโ€™d had a wild drunken night with in Vegas five years ago handing me divorce papers and demanding I sign them, Iโ€™d been sure it was a joke or scheme to get money. The tiny replica of her that crawled out of the backseat of her car, however, struck me with an odd familiarity I couldnโ€™t place. My gut had clenched tightly, and I knew my world had just changed. The paternity test confirmed it.


This woman who had been number one in my spank bank for five years had lied to me. Stolen the first four and a half years of my daughterโ€™s life from me. She may have the face and body of an angel, but she was cruel.


The man she planned on marrying and bringing into my daughterโ€™s life wasnโ€™t happening. Iโ€™d end that. I was going to be the only father she had. I wasnโ€™t sharing her with a stepfather.


If I had to make sure her mother only wanted me, then Iโ€™d do it. When she was addicted to me, and I owned her soul- she was going to suffer. I wouldnโ€™t hurt her body, but I would break her heart. Over and over again.





I would have strung you up by your fingertips while you watched me admire Luther's jewelry before I forgave you -
Paybacks and all
Isn't that what you were playing at?
But alas it was not my choice and I have not been in love with you since time began.
The heart tends to override the brain in these situations I know from experience.
I can only hope we get a peek at your future with a teenage Stevie ... karma and all lol

"Then I felt it. The first crack.The one that would lead to the crumble.The wall that protected me from feeling anything that made me weak."
Whether or not Linc is redeemable is going to be up to the individual reader. He pulls some pretty low-arse stunts in the name of retribution and "distancing" himself.
Chicken manure!
In the end, I accepted him, not forgive but I saw a man who would work at redemption.
When we are hurt, or scared we tend to do really stupid stuff.
Stupid stuff meet Linc.
There are a lot of layers to him

"All my little-girl dreams collided with the desires and dreams of the woman I'd become"
Branwen seemed to have an issue with her spine. I am not holding it against her because she loved that beast of a man, heart and soul. Always had and always would. Not something you can tame overnight.
I just wish she had been a bit stronger when it came to shoving him out the door.

"I'm the advocate for hot pieces of ass across the world. Okay? They should all be taken care of properly."
Luther, I just need more of
Stevie was a heart stealer.

I stumbled across Glines by pure accident - or maybe divine intervention - either way, I am now a certified addict to her characters. No, every character's story is going to work for every reader. Some you will love others you will despise. There are a lot of boundaries crossed within this family. However, I highly recommend giving each one a shot
