Scythe’s Salvation by Darlene Tallman

Scythe
I’ve watched my brothers find their ol’ ladies one by one, an ache deep inside as I long for the same. Because of my past, I’ve always been a bit leery about relationships, but thanks to the examples I’ve seen, I know that the right woman is out there for me. I just have to find her. I never, ever expect it to be at the massage parlor I go to in order to have an injury worked on.
Tamara is everything I’ve ever wanted in a woman. The fact that she’s a single mom never bothers me, either. Chance is a ball of energy who needs a man’s influence, and I decide I’m the one for the job. Now to get his mother on the same page. Her walls are higher than Mount Everest, but with time and patience, I’m sure I can destroy them. Except… her past comes roaring back into Roanoke and he’s got an agenda of his own.

Tamara
My one and only relationship gave me my precocious, beautiful son, and I vowed the day he was placed in my arms that I would protect him with every breath in my body. Seeing Scythe sitting in my waiting room that fateful day, the first chink in my wall leaves behind a crumbling pile of rubble. Little by little, I watch him interact with my son, his brothers, and their families and realize that what I’m seeing is genuine. There’s no artifice, no faking, it’s one-hundred percent valid.
He ticks off all the boxes on my list, the question is will my past derail a future with him before it even gets going? However, he steps up in a huge way, and I find myself with a shark of an attorney on my side as I fight for custody against the man who walked away when I told him I had a positive pregnancy test. I know Tim’s up to something, I just have no idea what it really is, but the club IT gurus are working nonstop to get the rest of the story. Hopefully, it’s before anything happens to either me or my son. Still, I trust Scythe and know he’s going to do everything in his power to ensure the safety of both of us. And that makes me love him a little bit more.
