Riggs Davis has always been a part of my life and my heart.
Both of us from the wrong side of the bridge, our story inevitable.
When I got pregnant at 17 no one batted an eye.
When Riggs went to prison at 21, the neighborhood added him to the list of people never getting out of this town.
When our son died on my watch while Riggs was behind bars, my world fell apart.
Riggs has just been released from prison on good behavior, but things aren't the same. I know he blames me. I can feel it, but that doesn't stop me from loving him. I just hope it's enough to fix this bridge between us.
There are things that threaten to tear us apart. Things I'm not sure we'll be able to walk away from. For someone who's been a part of my life forever, I'm not sure he'll stay there.

It's a sad truth I didn't marry my husband for love. I married him for the life he promised to provide, and if I'm honest with myself, I married him in hopes one day he'd fill the void Lucas-my first love-left behind. Now after so many years, they're both back. And in my desperation to feel loved, to be wanted and chosen I've walked straight into this trap. All because I forgot life's harshest lesson... I'm not enough. No matter how much or how fiercely I love, the choice will never be me. Especially now.

I was a fool to believe in the vows and promises they made. In the Broken Redemption Series, one man's vow to protect the woman he lost becomes a battle between redemption, forgiveness, and the kind of love that refuses to let go. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is Book 2 of Lucas & Emilia's Broken Redemption arc.
