Hinder

I was jaded and bitter after the worst kind of betrayal, so the last thing on my mind was love… until her. My job was to keep her safe, but I wanted to be more than just her protector. I wanted to be her forever, but she only needed me temporarily. When it was time to leave, I could do nothing but walk away and hope she would follow. I didn't see her again until months later when she showed up at my door with blood on her hands. And because I was still in love with her, I risked everything to clear her name… even though I wasn't sure she was as innocent as she claimed to be.
