Fiona Hurston was too young when we first met.
Too naïve.
Too innocent.
Too tempting.

I vowed to protect her, to keep her safe, and I have, for five long years.
Even when keeping her safe meant keeping my distance.
Even when the greatest threat to her innocence was me.

But Fiona's not a girl anymore.
When danger's at her door and we're forced together, I won't back down.
I'll defend her. I'll shield her. I'll comfort and keep her.

Because Fiona Hurston is all grown up now.
And it's time she realized... she's mine.
