Kaige.
The scene before me distorted, the edges blurring until the shed completely fell away. My eyes widened as dim lights and a control panel coalesced in my mind’s eye. Panic lanced through my chest, sharp pain making me buckle over. But it wasn’t mine.
Big hands tightened around a silver yoke, the knuckles turning white. I knew those hands. They’d laced through my fingers, stroked my hair and caressed my skin until I was senseless with pleasure.
Kaige. He was coming for me.
The view inside the cockpit twisted, the dark starry sky peeking through the canopy tilted until it was upside down. My hands shot out to stop myself from turning with it. A wave of dizziness crashed over me, and my world faded to black.
Loud pounding jerked me from a fitful sleep. Opening my eyes, I pushed aside the ghastly images of blood, emaciated bodies and death that riddled my nightmares. I squeezed my palms against my temples, willing the pain to stop.
A crack of light streamed through the small window, the sun not even up yet. Acid churned in my belly as I pushed myself up to my feet, the nasty taste of bile still coating my tongue.
The pounding at the door intensified, echoing in my throbbing skull. “I’m coming, Gavin.” Why he was here before dawn was beyond me. My mind was hazy as I shuffled to the door and cracked it open.
Blazing silver irises met mine. Kaige barreled through the door, wrapping me in his arms. “You’re okay,” he rasped out.
The blood bond sang with excitement as I buried my nose in his firm chest, reveling in his woodsy scent. “You’re okay,” I echoed. I still hadn’t gotten the grisly image of the sword impaling his chest out of my mind. I curled my fingers into his shirt, running my hands over his back just to make sure he was whole.
“I’m never letting you out of my sight again.” He threaded his fingers through my hair, breathing me in.
“Fine by me.”

Acknowledgments
A huge and wholehearted thank you to my dedicated readers! I could not do this without you. I love hearing from you and your enthusiasm for the characters and story. You are the best!
A special thank you to my loving and supportive husband who always understood my need for escaping into a good book (or TV show!). He inspires me to try harder and push further every day. And of course my mother who is the guiding force behind everything I do and made me everything I am today. Without her, I literally could not write—because she’s also my part-time babysitter! To my father who will always live on in my dreams. And finally, my son, Alexander, who brings an unimaginable amount of joy and adventure to my life everyday.
A big thank you to my editor, Sarah. And a new talented graphic designer I discovered, Sanja Gombar, for creating a beautiful book cover. A special thank you to my dedicated beta readers/fellow authors Kristin and Tiea who have been my sounding board on everything from cover ideas, blurbs, and story details. And all of my beta readers who gave me great ideas, caught spelling errors, and were all around amazing.
Thank you to all my family, friends, former co-workers (especially you, Robin Wiley!) and new indie author friends who let me bounce ideas off of them and listened to my struggles as an author and self-publisher. I appreciate it more than you all will ever know.
