Summer Sparrow (Jackals and Vipers Duet #2)

by Emmerson Hoyt

He was mine for the season, but never mine to keep. My summer sparrow.

I was so busy trying to protect her from Frank and Eastmann that I forgot sometimes it’s the wounds you can’t see that do the most damage.

Looks like we’ll both carry painful reminders of one another but at least no one can see my scars.

“I’m still so in love with you that sometimes I think my bones will break beneath the weight of it.”

“I’ll love you until the day I die, Rylee Adder. But I’ll let you go, if that’s what you need.”

“First off, this isn’t fighting, Tiger. If anything, it’s foreplay. Trust me, you’ll know when we’re fighting. Second, the only thing I have to get off my chest is how much I’ve fucking missed you.”

“You guys are like magnets. Half of the time, you’re repelling one another so violently I feel like I should run for cover. The other half, I’m terrified I’ll be crushed between the force of your attraction.”

“Promise me you’ll never go somewhere I can’t follow again.”
