Ashford

Ash

It'd been more than three years since I last disrobed a woman, and she definitely wasn't screaming like this woman...whom I just met and who was in labor in the back of my SUV. Little did I know that this chance encounter was about to change my life in ways I could never imagine.

I'd spent the last three years searching for my fiancee, unsuccessfully. I never thought I'd love again. And then I met Mina.

From the moment I met her, I didn't want to let her out of my sight. I never expected how much I'd enjoy having her and her newborn son, Ford, living with me at the compound, and I dreaded the day when they would pack their things and leave.

My draw to Mina is undeniable. She's gorgeous and caring and selfless, but can I move beyond my past and see a future with her?

Mina

Ash shouldn't act like a complete stranger...after all he delivered my son. But even when I do a simple act like hug him as a sign of gratitude for the kindness he's shown my son and I, he steps away...although he does seem to be lingering a bit longer with each forced embrace. Maybe one day?

I couldn't have stumbled upon a better man to help me in my predicament. Ash is beyond handsome and gives me a sense of safety that I've never felt before. Not only has he put a roof over my head,but he's even helping me soothe my newborn son in the middle of the night...although I don't think he wants his friends to know that quite yet.

Ford deserves someone better than his biological father. He needs a man like Ash, a man who can protect him and teach him how to protect himself. He needs a good, generous man as a father, someone who will love him unconditionally.

He needs Ash.

I need Ash.

I'm just afraid that the secrets and lies I'm carrying with me will be the things that make a life with Ash impossible. Will the truth set me free, or bury me forever?

Note: ASHFORD is the final book in the Gray Wolf Security series. You can read it on it's own, but it is highly recommended that you read DONOVAN, DAVID, JOSS and KIRKLAND too :)
