ALPHA BECK

The police found the small girl curled up in a ditch. Physically she appeared fine, but mentally she had no recollection of how she got there or why. She had been missing for three weeks. Her mother was worried sick, it was her fault, partially.
Years later, she's still haunted by what she doesn't know happened to her during her disappearance. She hasn't felt right since but can't seem to make anything of it. Until she meets Beck.
The girl is drawn to the man, enamored by his beauty and something deeper than attraction. The man is drawn to her too, she's the other half of his soul.
Their lives are incredibly tangled with pasts they can't seem to outrun, no matter how hard they try. Can they hold each other together? Or will they unravel like their histories?

His lips met hers with more passion than he had ever given her. The man held her close, in a way that left no room for doubt about his love. For a brief second, he broke away to press his forehead to hers as she panted to catch her breath.
"I'm yours," he whispered, kissing her lips once more. "I'm yours."
