"She passed out, she needs to rest more I can come back to talk with her when she feels better, I can't rush her." "I'll take you to her room." Following Mel I enter Grace's room to find it completely spotless as well as organized. "She really is OCD." I smile down to her as she rests her head on my chest. The feeling of finally having her here with me is the greatest as well as most heartbreaking. Knowing what she went through makes me want to destroy those b*stards. Laying her in her bed I try to pull away only for her to cling to me as if I were the air she breathes. "Well Officer Spence. Looks as though you may end up spending the night. She might subconsciously feel safe with you around her." Sighing with happiness as well as sadness I decide I can't leave her when she is so desperately needing me. "Guess I'm staying. I can't escape her death grip." Or want to, this is a dream come true. I've been searching for her since I made it back and now that I've found her I realize I was too late. I was too late to keep her safe. She could have been safe with me as well as protected had I found her and been with her we could have been happy. *WARNING* There could be triggers...

"I'm not loosing weight." I stated crossing my arms over my chest. "Princess, I couldn't care less if you did or not. I'm still getting paid. Now let's make something out of it." Riley's fine with the way she is but for her parents, not so much. So they do the unthinkable and hire a personal trainer to get her into shape. Will it actually work? Or will it backfire in their faces?

Jameson Holt has spent his life believing the little girl from his youth was a hallucination. A product of a terrible fever, his family, his friends, all of them said she wasn't real. He almost believed it himself. He took his place as CEO of a multi-million dollar empire, he lived a life that would be the envy of any man who couldn't see the growing darkness and pain beneath the surface. Then, in an instant, everything changed. The is no denying now that she was real. The girl now a woman. A woman whose existence threatens everything the Kasabe Clan holds sacred.

Dreams where she did not feel alone. Where another drifted at the fringes of her consciousness, a stalwart guardian, a friend, and as she grew, something deeper. Compelled by the need to know her past, she stumbled into a world she was not prepared for. A terrible destiny she can't surrender to, even as she craves this dark stranger who, somehow, is as familiar to her as her own breath. Is love worth the destruction of everything you value?
