I don’t know how long I sit there, my breaths coming too fast, my chest too tight. Because suddenly, Maddox isn’t just Asher’s dangerous older brother. He isn’t just the criminal, the convicted felon, the man who snuck into my room and ruined me in the dark. He’s a father who lost his daughter. A husband who buried his wife. A man who had everything ripped away from him before being locked in a cage for two decades.
