#ForeverMN by Ashton Brooks

Rogue is more than a way of life…
Commitment.

Family.
Love.
Saylor

I’ve loved Ciaran since I set foot in Minnesota.
His icy eyes, loyalty, and unwavering faith in the good work of Rogue made it easy to fall. And I fell hard. Years later, nothing has changed. I want him and the life he’s dreamt for us.
I want his last name.
When old fears, haunted pasts and my own insecurities threaten to destroy us, the man I have loved since I was a teen, suddenly is cold, unyielding and wants to set me free.
I can’t imagine my happily ever after without Ciaran.
Even if I lose myself completely, I’ll prove to him that all those years ago, I chose Rogue but more importantly, I chose him.

Ciaran

I’ve loved the girl with lilac hair and expressive eyes since the day she arrived at my house. Saylor is my safe haven when the life of Rogue becomes harsh. I keep myself going by dreaming about a future for us.
I want her to be part of me in every way possible.
Until the unthinkable happens. In one moment the security and promises I made her are destroyed in a hail of bullets.
Suddenly I’m stuck between duty and love. With my own fears after growing up broken resurface, I chose to let her go. I refuse to hurt the one person I love more than my own life.
I can’t kill the happily ever after that she deserves. Even if it isn’t with me.
I’ll lose myself completely to make Saylor happy, to keep her safe, to keep her alive. I was born into Rogue, but my heart will always beat for her.
