Finding You (Chikalu Falls, #1)

by Lena Hendrix

I had never seen a woman so naturally gorgeous in all of my life.

I didn’t even know this girl, and I couldn’t stand the overprotective way I was feeling right now.

We needed to have a serious talk about whether or not he was going to pursue Jo—because if he wasn’t, game on.

I would risk everything to be with her.

Growly, protective Lincoln was quickly becoming my new favorite thing.

Being able to take care of yourself and wanting someone to want to take care of you were two very different things.

“But you are my Joanna, aren’t you?” he said, his voice gravely with desire, searching my face for some answer.

I swear to god that man could incinerate every set of panties within a hundred-mile radius with that smile.

This girl was changing things for me, and I didn’t know what I was going to do about that.

This incredible woman is going to be the death of me.

‘Nothing you could ever do would make me love you any less.’

She loved all of me and I had pushed her away—not because I was protecting her, but because I was protecting myself.

I’m aware that she deserves so much more than me, but I’ll be damned if another asshole takes my place. I need to show her it’s always been her.”

Joanna, my heart beats to the rhythm of yours and the best thing to ever happen to me was finding you.

My girl had come home.

I was going to marry the fuck out of that girl and everyone was going to know it.

I might pretend to wear the pants in this relationship, but everyone in three counties knew Joanna had me wrapped around her finger.
