Ruthless Saints (The Saints, #3)

by Michelle Heard

In no universe can the moon and sun be together. They’re forever destined to be lightyears apart, with empty darkness filling the space between them.

For a moment in time, the sun shone on me. It was peaceful, the brilliance of the rays warming the frozen landscape of my life. When my time comes, she’ll be my last thought. Until then, I have to forget she ever existed.

Nothing is the same as before Hailey walked into my life, and I get a feeling it will never be the same again.

“The code is easy to remember. Nine for I. Twelve for L. Eight for H, and twenty-three for W. I love Hailey Welsh.”

“I love you,” he whispers near my ear. “More than anything. I’ll never harm you, and I’ll kill anyone who tries to hurt you.”

Shaking my head, another tear falls. My voice is hoarse as I whisper, “I’ll never love anyone but you.”

How am I supposed to go through life blindly after seeing the brilliance of her smile?

The corner of my mouth lifts, and I place my hand on her cheek. “As long as I get to see you smile every day, we can take it slow.” Hailey’s face lights up with happiness, and I just stare at her as her light chases the darkness. The moon only shines at night because of the sun. Hailey’s my sun.

“To the sun who fell in love with the moon and gave him some of her light. Without her, there’s only darkness.”
