No wife or daughter or even a damn dog. So why was he alive and his partner the one with all those things was dead? </span></p><p></p><p><span style=color: rgba(50 50 51 0.75)>Austin wasn't the only one who wanted answers.

Forbidden. Innocent and too vulnerable for a man like him to take advantage of in her agony. Even if he understood it shared it. </span></p><p></p><p><span style=color: rgba(50 50 51 0.75)>So Austin did what he had to do and threw her out. </span></p><p></p><p><span style=color: rgba(50 50 51 0.75)>Right into the crosshairs of the man who killed her father. </span></p>
