In an instant he became her hero. Then he became her lover and friend.

My name is Jaxon Hart. 

You watched me grow up. You watched me fight for my life. Now, I’m fighting for hers. 

From the second I laid eyes on Annika, I wanted to help her. Protect her. Vindicate her. But she’s got baggage to get through. Hell, we both do.

But a funny thing happens when you finally connect with someone in a different way than you ever have before. The baggage doesn’t seem so heavy. 

I supposed that’s really the only thing that matters when the heart gets involved.
