  God, there was so much they didn’t know, didn’t understand. Yet. They were flying blind, had been for a long time, and this was completely new territory for him, but he had Devon now and he’d never let her go. He was going to find out who hurt her and how. Make sure they never got the chance to do it ever again. And he’d keep her safe, no matter what it took.

  “But now they also know we pose a real threat,” Seth offered.

  “We?” Noah asked, his mouth kicking up at one corner. Seth had to give the guy credit. He could have stuck it to him good—he was more than entitled—but he didn’t.

  Seth stepped around the side of the desk and held out his hand. Noah stood slowly, looked down, but instead of shaking his hand he clasped Seth’s forearm in a firm grip. It was an age-old warrior’s hold. Seth reciprocated, swallowed at the thickness in the back of his throat. He owed Noah so much, owed him everything and the thing of it was, he’d never be able to put it into words.

  “Yeah ‘we,’” he said instead, his voice thick. “We fight and we fight to win. For my woman, who’s finally where she belongs, for the women they still hold, for knowledge of our history, our heritage. And for our fucking identity. We fight.”

  About the Author

  Kaily Hart, a seemingly straightlaced mother of four, left corporate America and a high-powered, lucrative career to be a stay-at-home mom. Right…

  That lasted about four weeks, during which time she realized she had a deeply repressed dream—to write. And (gasp) romance at that! Who knew? By day, Kaily plays conser­va­tive wife and soccer mom, but at night crafts hot and steamy tales of romance and love with gorgeous heroes who wouldn’t dream of leaving the toilet seat up. Ever.

  She’s smart and sassy, at least in her own mind, and is creating as many happily ever afters as she can, one hot story at a time. Kaily never would have thought she’d be doing this, but now that she is? Well, you couldn’t pay her enough to do anything else.

  Where no great story goes untold.

  The variety you want to read, the stories authors have always wanted to write.
