Rhapsodic (The Bargainer, #1)

by Laura Thalassa

I didn’t fall for Des because he was handsome or because he knew my secrets but because he stuck around when I was least lovable. Because he was a man who didn’t try to take anything from me even when I lay next to him but instead gave me peace and comfort. Because each one of those nights, he saved me all over again, even if it was from myself.

I hadn’t imagined this—that he’d crave me like a dying man craves life.
