I would give anything to be with him. One time would satisfy the itch.

I knew they would be coming for their diamonds, and we had them.Dalton

My sacrifice was in vain. I didn’t have to walk the path alone.

That crazy night in Guam. We had to take the diamonds. But now we were paying for it.
The past was in the way of our love. Could I keep her away from the line of fire? But how? She thinks I am dead. Come Clean: Wilde Rock #1 (Come Rock Me Book 3) by Candy J. Starr
