Because if I stay I will hurt you. And I will kill myself a thousand times before I could ever let that happen, my sweet Willow. My Caramia.
Thinking of the endearment I’d given her so long ago, a true smile lights my lips. I recall how she’s corrected me with that sweet, sassy nature. Making sure I knew that the correct Italian words were ‘cara mia’. I knew she was right, but the name I gave her was for me. A deliberate alteration of the words that represented what she meant to me.
Today, as I stand here looking into her face through my binoculars, I feel a pain like being crucified. Or redeemed. Perhaps both. Because she’s walked into my life again.
The aching I’ve pushed away for so long is balled now into a fist of iron and spears, deep in the pit of my stomach.
I want her. So strongly it’s as though she invented wanting itself.
She has brought the life back to my beast in the space of a few seconds. He roars inside of me with a vengeance and the word that has repeated itself in my head every day since I met her pound like hammers in my temples. My fear now is she will never understand. But, I will not lose her again. If it takes the rest of my life, she will understand the true meaning of that word.
Mine. Mine. Mine.
Now, it’s time for my stepdaughter to meet her destiny.

Thank You.
I have met so many amazing people since I started putting my
naughty thoughts on the page. To some of the first fans who supported me, the bloggers,
fellow authors who have been more than generous with their
time and opinions as well as the other professionals that
put up with my particular kind of crazy, thank you.
My undying gratitude goes out to so many
But there are a special few that deserve to be named.
Sybil. My sanity is in your hands and so much more.
Nicola for understanding me and deciding to stick around.
Neda for your humor, straight talk and heart.
Nicci for your hard work and professionalism.
Gi for more than just your obsessive attention to detail. For your support and kind soul.
There are more, so many, thank you all.
Every day that when we support each other
everyone wins.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Dani Wyatt used to feel bad about having such dirty thoughts. Luckily, one day she decided to starting writing them down. Her uber alpha heros have a wicked possessive streak and an insatiable libido. Her heroines are intelligent, quirky and worry about having too much muffin top. With her books, you can count on a heaping helping of HOT, a dash of rough and always a happily ever after.
When she's not writing (which is not often) she is probably laughing about some irony (like A-1 Steak Sauce is vegan), riding her horse, wondering why The Walking Dead can't have a new episode every night, or looking cross-eyed at some piece of technology sent to ruin her day.
