a Heart Bleed novel

WILLOW

One moment of courage destroyed my life.
A moment.
Only one.
Three hundred and sixty-seven days were spent wishing for another chance.
It's so hard being in a world without my sweet boy.
No more hugs.
No more kisses.
No more I love yous.
I miss my precious angel every single day.
Living without him is hardest thing I ever had to do.
But I keep trying.
One breath at time.
One day at a time.
My heart is broken, but I keep waking up every day and trying again.
That should count for something.

DEAN

I like my whiskey.
I love my family.
And being a bachelor worked for me until it didn't.
I tried my hand at being settled.
It didn't take.
I was getting back to a quiet life when Willow arrived to rent a cottage on my estate.
I don't have a problem managing billion-dollar companies, but I'm acting like a college kid with a crush.
It hasn't been twenty-four hours, and I'm buying her a house. That's damn ridiculous by anyone's standards.
Willow is grieving. We had a falling out early on, but she needed a safe place. Everything forward is to give her one.
