My Addiction by Wendi Varner

What happens when a guy on the run with a baby meets an over protective psycopath that becomes addicted to him?

Colton
I escaped a religious community that wasn’t a community at all. The Children of the Fallen didn’t just demand obedience — they controlled everything. Money. Food. Fear. And when I discovered what was happening to the children, I ran before my baby brother became another victim. I expected to keep running. Instead, I ended up on the doorstep of the Murphy family. Ronan Murphy… gave me something far more dangerous. Attention. He watches me like I matter. Touches me like I belong somewhere. Protects me like he’s already decided I’m staying. I should be terrified of a man like him. But after a lifetime of surviving alone… being wanted is harder to resist than being afraid.

Ronan
Colton thinks this ends when the threat is gone. It won’t. I am not kind. I am not patient. And I don’t half-care about anything. Someone hunted him. Someone planned to sell his brother. They made a mistake letting him escape. Because he didn’t just find safety. He found me. I will dismantle the people who hurt him. I will destroy the organization that took his childhood. And when it’s finished, he still won’t be leaving. Colton believes I saved him. He doesn’t understand yet. I will keep him. He’s my addiction.
