He’s loved me since the day I was born.
He’s taken care of me.
He’s awakened me.
Tor. My father’s best friend. My Godfather.
Tor. My father’s best friend. My Godfather.
The one chosen to protect me. The one I should never, ever want.
She’s always loved me.
She’s always loved me.
She’s shattered me.
She’s healed me.
Kenzi. My best friend’s daughter. The little girl that called me Uncle.
Kenzi. My best friend’s daughter. The little girl that called me Uncle.
She’s forbidden to me. But she gets me.
We’re slowly being torn apart by everything we love.
We’re slowly being torn apart by everything we love.
Everything we want. Everything we desire.
I know it’s wrong.
I know it’s wrong.
but I need to make her

Excerpt
Prologue Kenzi one day old, Toren fifteen years old...
“We want you to be her Godfather,” Asher says as he gently lays his newborn baby into my arms. I have to tear my gaze away from her incredible green eyes to look up at him from the chair I'm cradling the baby in.
“Me?” I glance quickly over at Ember in the hospital bed, who beams back at me with a tired, yet genuine smile.
“Yes, you,” they both say at the same time. “If it wasn’t for you, we probably never would have met,” Ember adds, grabbing Asher’s hand. “And we wouldn’t have this beautiful little baby. We know you’ll always protect her.”
“That’s right, man. You’re Uncle Tor now.”
I’m an uncle. And my two best friends are parents. And we’re all fuckin’ under sixteen.
But Kenzi Allyster Valentine would change us all forever. She needed us.
“Wow. I’m honored, guys. No doubt, I’ll always be here for her.”
I kick back the pang that hits my stomach. I didn’t get the girl…but I got something I never expected. A gift in the form of a little tiny hand wrapped tightly around my finger, huge eyes like jade gems staring up into mine like I was the most amazing person in the friggen' world, and the first glimpse of a heart-stopping smile.
That was it.
She owned me.
My niece.
My god-daughter.
