Caution to the Wind (The Fallen Men, #7)

by Giana Darling

“My whole life I was searchin’ for somethin’,” he murmured as he walked us into the middle of the room and sank down onto one of the huge knit blankets Cleo had made. I frowned at it before Axe-Man’s voice drew my gaze back to his. “I joined the army to save people and then, when that failed, I became a doctor to do the same. Married Kate to save her and Cleo. I did it all ’cause I wanted to be a good man, but more, ’cause I was tryin’ to fill this ache for belongin’ inside me that was gnawin’ through flesh and bone. That hunger didn’t ease ’til you showed up in my life again, the same but different in all the ways that mattered ’cause those eight years meant I could finally see you. See you and know what you were always meant to be to me. My saviour. The dragon at the base of the tower willin’ to protect the few precious loved ones she’s got inside. I’d never had someone fight for me before and it knocked the wind outta me. The sense too or I would’ve done this a long time ago.”
