The Guy in the Middle (The Underdogs, #3)

by Kate Stewart

“What if this moment, right here, is the moment that changes your life?”

“You fit me, this pussy, fits me, only me.” Possession, borderline obsession, it’s all I can do in this moment to keep from completely claiming her.

“You know you gave me…,” I breathe through the pain, “you gave me a love story, a real love story, even if it doesn’t have the ending I was hoping for.”

It’s love, the kind that changes people, pure and simple, because she changed me by just believing me, in me, to the point she possessed a part of me.

She’s light, and you can’t hide light, you can’t hold it and keep it. It’s unattainable. And maybe that’s what Harper is for me—a light I can’t keep.

I’m a man standing in the wake of lost love, bitterness in my heart, and singed beyond anything I can control. I was supposed to have left her there, in that apartment, in that city, but she’s been with me the whole time, and her sudden appearance is only worsening the fact—I can’t get over this damned woman.
