Summary
They were teenagers, reckless, in love, and naïve enough to think it would be enough. Until Ramón Diaz found out.
Eddie vanished overnight. No goodbye. No explanation. Just silence.
Buck tried to move on—left El Paso, ran across continents, chased danger, joined the LAFD. But he never stopped thinking about the boy with soft eyes and shaking hands who kissed him like he meant it.
Years later, Buck’s life is steady—until the past walks back into it wearing the same eyes, now shadowed by war, heartbreak, and a son.
Because Eddie didn’t leave by choice. And Buck was not the only one left bleeding.

Summary
She made a little humming noise. “I am afraid, Sir Knight, that this is one danger you cannot wave your sword at. There is no escaping my marriage.”
“Oh. That. Marriage is no danger.”
She gave him a look of such sharpness that he felt himself wither. “You are a man. You do not have the first idea of the dangers marriage entails for women.” Her chin trembled though she held it aloft. “And you are a Knight Protector — you are not permitted to marry until after I am wed.”
He opened his mouth to retort — but closed it quickly. She was, he supposed, right. In fact he could not imagine someone less suited to offer counsel on the subject than himself.
“What is it that you fear?” he asked.
She took a deep breath. “Cruelty. Neglect. Loneliness. A life spent in solitude and uselessness, my mind slowly disintegrating through lack of exertion. There is so much world out here, Colin, and I shall only ever see one tiny patch of it. I fear dying after a life only half-lived. I have dreams and ambitions and they shall never, ever be realised. So while I am able, I mean to live.”
OR: the Adventures of Princess Penelope and Sir Colin, her Knight Protector!
