Make her Mine

Luke is half a man.
Beatrice is all woman.
The kind of woman he shouldn’t want. Not with what he lost.
But the way she looks at him fosters a hope he hasn’t felt in way too long. Like she sees more than what’s missing.
Or maybe like it doesn’t matter.
But it does matter. His body isn’t the only thing that’s broken, and no woman deserves the hell his mind puts him through every day.
And all night.
Unless he can find a way to get past it, this is it for him. Half a man.
Half a life.
****
Beatrice can’t figure out where it all went wrong.
Somewhere in the last ten years she lost herself. Her hopes. Her dreams.
Her worth.
She has to find that person she used to be. For herself.
For Luke.
He saved her. Protected her when she didn’t deserve protecting. Treated her like more than the object she’d allowed herself to become. Showed her how a real man carries himself while he carried her from the biggest mistake of her life.
But the haunted look in his eyes keeps her up at night.
She could help him.
If she could just figure out how to help herself.
