The Love You Give

Riley Knight…
Happily ever after isn't for me; I accepted that long ago.
Then I met him.
Payton waltzed into my life like a breath of fresh air and pushed me in all the ways I never thought were possible. The links of my armor are slowly being chiseled away as I fall further for him, but if the person who is supposed to love you unconditionally destroys your life, how can true love really exist?

Payton MacKenzie…
I’ve never been one to go searching for love.
Then I met her.
Something about Riley draws me to her. Sometimes it’s the sadness in her eyes that I long to wipe away, and other times it’s the way she smiles and gives a piece of herself to me. The need to protect her is impossible to ignore. I know I’m falling for her, but how can I get her to trust me if she can’t let go of her past?
