Baylon
I left home at sixteen, the epitome of every parent's worst nightmare. If it was wrong, I tried it. The only right thing in my life was Parker. We met in preschool, fell in love, and were married. She always had my back even when I disappeared for months at a time, no questions asked. I screwed that up too.
Parker deserves more than a friends with benefits relationship but letting her go isn't that easy. Neither is trusting Ryder, the man who broke me. They were both my first love, which one will be my last?
Parker
Baylon was too smart for his own good, paired with his evil temper, he was a ticking time bomb. A bomb I diffused more times than I can count. I should have moved on after he cheated, and we divorced but I couldn't, he's my best friend, we have a bond, and I'll always love him.
Ryder
I'm an officer of the law, trained to known better, perhaps I did, and ignored it. Something about his smile set my insides on fire and rendered me unintelligible. I had to have him, I did have him, now I can't forget him. One night wasn't enough. Now, over a decade later he lands in prison, I'm his guard, and I'm on a mission to make him mine.
