Silas
After my talk with Damien, I found myself in my own little bubble, talking to Lyall, trying to understand the possibility that Damien might be right. Each and every time, I feel a pull in my heart that told me he was wrong.
I longed for the woman I loved, the child I loved. I just wanted us to be together again. And if Dane didn’t want her here, that was fine, we could go it alone.
Sitting at the kitchen table, watching. Damien, Samara and his little girl act like one happy family. Damien spins the kid around the room, making her laugh until she cries.
I wanted my happy family. I wanted everything to make sense.
I scratch my head as Dorothy stops to chug some water. She drops into the chair across from me. Bright green eyes stare at me. She carefully slides a muffin across the table. “These always make me feel better.”
“I’m good.”
She shakes her head, “You are sad.”
“I miss my family.” I reply. I didn’t know much about her, but for a young kid she was on the ball.
“Your real family?” She asks curiously
“My only family. Dane is my brother by blood, but we are not a family, not really, we barely know each other. He has chosen his family.”
Her brow wrinkles up and she chews on her bottom lip. “I miss my other Daddy. I’m sad.” She shrugs her shoulders, “I know he is doing a job and that is important.”
When she realises I’m not eating the muffin, she looks over her shoulder as she pulls it back towards her. Carefully pulling off the wrapper she takes a bite. “Maybe you just have to find a way to help. That’s what Daddy has always told me.”
“I don’t know how I can help other than what I have told them.”
“Maybe when the foggy brain is better.” She gazes at me. “Maybe then you won’t be sad. Maybe then you can help.” She grins and little dimples appear in her cheeks
‘Foggy brain?’ Lyall mutters, ‘There is nothing wrong with our brain.’
Music blares out and Dorothy jumps to her feet, abandoning the half eaten muffin. “My favourite song.” She disappears through to the lounge and dances with Samara as Damien takes her place.
“You kid is weird.” I mutter

Just loving how you keep trying to block me swnovels...
Hi Taylor, I found your book by accident. I really enjoy your writing, but I must admit that there’s a little more sex than I am use to, most likely because of my age 😁. I was wondering if you have released them in ebook ? I have read some of your notes to your readers and I know that you have written other books but I can’t find them in ebook format. I live in Sweden and have enjoyed reading this story as the dark nights get longer and longer. I am looking forward to re-joining Dane and Neah’s story. Thank you for sharing your marvelous talent.

Why are you ignoring the DMCA the author sent?...
I'm so glad it's being posted here, I don't have the income to pay 250 in order to unlock all the chapters. However, whenever the physical book comes out, I'll be the first to buy them. I love the story, love the way it is written (typos and all) I just cannot pay all of that money, the app is ridiculously predatory....
book 2: Bonds that bind us...
I don’t see the name of the new book. Could you please resend it?...
