Everlasting — Christine Michelle

Ever:Trust.It was something I didn’t do anymore.There was one person I trusted beyond measure, and this time, he wasn’t there to help me.I was going to have to put my faith, my life, in the hands of the people who had failed me so miserably for most of my life.I didn’t have a choice because his life was the one on the line now.I needed him back at any cost.Even if that meant I’d have to rely on them.Deck:We had a few good years before it all went sideways. When I realized why I was taken, I knew that even if I got out of there, I might still lose her forever. There was no way she would forgive me for this, even if everything wasn’t as it seemed.Double-D:I had already failed her as a father. Coming out of retirement was the only option though. I couldn’t go back and make her childhood right, but I could make sure she got her happily ever after, or I’d die trying.
