Crimson Tears by T.R. Oldin

Nessa
My story isn’t for the faint of heart. I found love, found happiness with a man I never saw coming. And then I was blindsided when my first love, the man I thought was gone forever,came back into my life. He is here, standing right in front of me. As truths are revealed and lines are drawn, I can’t help but reflect on who I am and what fate has in store for me. My friends say that I should take what I want, but what if what I want and what I’m destined for are two very different things?

Cillian
She’s here. She’s alive. And she’s close enough for me to touch. Three years without her feels like a lifetime. She says she’s in love and that she’s happy. But what she doesn’t know is that I’m not the same man she once knew. Three years ago, maybe I would have walked away and let her live her life, but not this time. This time, I will do whatever it takes to keep her as we fight to save those who can’t save themselves. The enemy continues to grow closer while we chase down criminals of the worst kind. My only hope is that we make it out alive so that I can convince her to be mine again. Will time and fate be on our side this time? Or will we be ripped apart once more?

I had accepted my fate long ago. But when a little fox pounced on me without warning, I fell in love without even trying. I thought maybe this could be my second chance at happiness, my reward for all I had sacrificed and accomplished. I’m no hero, and the universe must have known that. When my woman comes home with her first love at her side, I can feel the tides of her affection changing; no matter how hard I try to swim against the current for her to come back to me. Choosing to fight with her for her cause is easy, but I can’t help but wonder how this will all end. Will I have to say goodbye to the only woman I’ve loved since my late wife? Or will the tide finally turn in my favor?
