Loyal by Default: Legacy of Carter Reed (Assassin's Heart #2)

by K.C. Mills

Three days wasn’t shit compared to the lifetime of women he had experienced, but McKenna had somehow managed to do what others before her couldn’t. She gave Carter Reed hope that he could be happy; that he deserved something good regardless of all the bad he’d done.

“This was my trial run to see if I could be happy settling. To see if you had potential to make me happy and you don’t.”

“She’s not alone and if you touch her, you will seriously regret that shit.”

“Loving someone doesn’t make you weak, Carter. It tests your strength but it doesn’t make you weak. It makes you whole and when you’re whole, there’s not a damn thing on earth that can stand against you.
