Blinded by the Light (The Broken Boys #3)
Esme Taylor
To the outside world, he’s a protector, capable of ‘fixing’ anything; to me, he’s a murderer. Then I get to see another side of him, a glimpse beneath his Ironman persona, and it changes everything.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But he’d been my dad’s best friend and is twice my age. So I walked away. ⠀⠀
Fate had other ideas, and he found me again. Twice. Now I'm standing here.
His Queen of Hearts.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
He offered me the world. Promised me a future.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But then he was gone, leaving me to fight the monsters alone. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What will it take for him to realize that he doesn’t need to save the world?⠀
And what happens when the one thing that threatens us the most is the one thing he can’t fix?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I met someone once. I promised to burn down the world to protect her, but she didn’t need me. She was strong, beautiful, fiercely independent… oh, and half my age. So I went back to doing what I did best; protecting the world from monsters. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Except fate had other ideas and I found her again. Twice. The second time holding the life of my best friend in her hands. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Lissa. My Queen of Hearts. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Can I keep her safe when the shadows from my past step up to claim her? ⠀⠀
My job is to protect people. I failed once, but I won’t let it happen again. I’ll do whatever it takes to keep her from them. No matter what. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But what if the thing that threatens her the most is out of my control and unfixable? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Did I wait a decade for her, only to lose her like this?
