Lady Guardians · Persuade Me

***~ Sometimes good and evil must coexist to bring about the reckoning. ~* **

**Ebony** \- I've never begged for anything. Until the day I begged him to save my life.

Fear was not a word I used. Failure had never been an option. Even as life threw me curveballs on a regular basis, I powered through. Why? Because there was no other choice. When I suffered the loss of my husband and became a single mother, I kept moving forward for the sake of my child. But this pain is too much, too intense, and I don't know if I can keep on going. Then he shows up and gives me hope that he'll make the pain go away.

**Cole** -Life on the other side wasn't all it was cracked up to be, but my forgiveness will be found in the unlikeliest of places.

The day I came home to find my beautiful neighbor on the verge of death, my world shifted. She'd seen me when all I wanted to do was hide, not allowing me to wallow in my guilt and memories. The things I'd seen in combat scarred me for life, changing me into someone I hardly recognized. But it didn't matter to her. Now someone had hurt her. The woman I desired from afar, even as I knew it was best that I stayed on my side of the street. I was no good for her. For anyone. But someone had tried to harm her, and that just wouldn't do at all.
