Earning His Family (Higgins Security #3)

KAT

I’ve kept my past bottled up in the farthest recesses of my mind for so long, the only time it claws its way out is in my nightmares. My frigid exterior protects myself from others and protects my secrets. I know people would look at me differently. I know they’d pity me or judge me.
That also means I’ve been keeping a certain man as far away from me as possible. I knew in an instant he was my everything, but it’s for his own good…and mine. Grayson.
Just when I think it’s safe to let down my walls and truly accept my beautiful man who hasn’t given up on me and the family that comes with him, my past finds a way to show me that it still has a hold on me.
This time I have him to protect me, I hope that he can still love me after he knows the truth of my past.

GRAYSON

Katherine. Kat. My little kitten. I knew I wanted her from the moment I saw her, knew she was the center of my world and so much more. I’ve let her push me away; I’ve let her keep her distance. I can’t do it anymore. I need her to keep my nightmares at bay. I need to protect her and keep her safe.
When she finally lets me past her icy walls, I jump at the chance to make her mine. I’ll fight for her, always, and make sure she knows how much she means to me. I’ll let her into my heart and into the pain of my past because I know she can handle it.
She’s been hiding from her own nightmares for a long time and when they bleed into her reality, I will stop at nothing to vanquish them before holding her even closer to me.
I hope once we put her past behind us that we can only look forward.

**18+. If you like alpha heroes and an insta-love story that is sweet but isn’t necessarily simple, then this is for you. This story is safe, no cheating, guaranteed HEA. It is a standalone and the third in the Higgins Security series, but it would be more enjoyable if you’re caught up with this Denver family.
Warning: This story does contain casual cannabis use, but not to worry, they live in a legalized state and are responsible members of society.**
