Book #4 in the Bonds of Fate series.
"You left me. For 2 years." Killian's voice shook with the force of his emotion. "You chose to leave me."
"Leaving was the best thing I ever did. I won't apologise for it."
"Now you expect me to give you another chance?" His voice was angry, but he knew in his heart that had already forgiven her.
How could he pretend that he wasn't in purgatory the entire time that she was gone? Or that seeing her again, was the first time the world seemed right again? How could he pretend that he didn't love her when all he wanted was to take her in his arms and kiss her senseless?
"Just give me a chance to explain, please Killian." Rachel pleaded; it was strange he had never seen her bend so easily to anyone. She was a wildfire that couldn't be tamed, so then why did she look like her flames had been quietened?
"Give me one good reason that I should."
"Our daughter."
