The Life We Built | Gator & Katie | Book Two

⚠️This story is a direct sequel to His Claim, Her Cage and should be read after Book One.

Five years after escaping Roy Tillman, you and Gator have built the life you once thought impossible. A home on the Oregon coast. A daughter you both adore. A future that finally belongs to the two of you.

But survival isn't the same thing as healing.

When Gator returns to law enforcement, old wounds begin to reopen. Every badge, every call, and every split-second decision drags him back toward the man who raised him. Though Roy has been dead for years, his voice remains, haunting Gator's thoughts and turning every mistake into proof that he's becoming the very thing he hates.

As the nightmares worsen and the distance between you grows, you find yourself watching the man you love disappear behind walls you can't break through. Determined to save the life you fought so hard to build, you must convince Gator that Roy's legacy isn't his destiny.

Because some ghosts don't stay buried.

And the most dangerous ones live inside us.
