She is my peace.
She is my destruction.
I can't have her.
I can't let her go.
And somewhere between the heaven she gives me and the hell she leaves behind...
I've forgotten which one I deserve.
THEY CALLED HIM ORPHAN BOY.
She called him "mine".
Cole never belonged anywhere.
Abandoned as a child and raised on the Ranch, he learned early that some things were never meant to be his.
Especially Molly, the little girl with pigtails who grew into the only woman he would ever love.
She was Troy's granddaughter.
His best friend.
His greatest weakness.
And the one thing he could never bring himself to have.
But years of stolen glances, unfinished words, and love buried beneath loyalty were never enough to kill what lived between them.
Because some loves don't fade.
They consume.
He would burn for her.
Kill for her.
Destroy himself for her.
Because no matter how many times he tries to walk away...
He has never belonged to anyone else.
And Molly has always been his.
