“I know you think Kye is some big, scary, tattooed monster, but he’s not. He’s the kindest and gentlest man I’ve ever known. And that’s saying something because my father was one of the best.” My throat constricted at the memory of the man whose tenderness with animals and children was unparalleled…until Kyler. “You haven’t seen Kye playing dress-up tea party with his niece. Or having a Nerf war with his nephew. You didn’t see him holding me together when grief got the best of me.”
