"Life's messy, isn't it?" I murmur. "Even when everything seems perfect, there's always something."
"That's why you enjoy the good moments when they come," Ruger says, kissing the top of my head. "Like tonight, with your family. Like Sadie Jo's birthday. Like right now."
I tilt my face up to his, overwhelmed with love for this man who helped me find strength I didn't know I had.
"I never expected to end up here," I tell him. "With an MC President. With a family of bikers. It's the last place I thought I'd find peace."
"Life's funny that way." His arms tighten around me. "Gives you what you need in the places you least expect to find it."
As his lips find mine, gentle but insistent, I silently agree.
Here, in this unexpected place, with this unexpected man, I've finally found what I was always searching for—safety, love, and a home.
