Sipping Cider Through A Straw Lyrics

Keeping her safe has become his life's mission. 
 Gage Hendrix is a man without roots. As an MSD Team Leader for the Department of State, he operates in high-threat environments. Serving in dangerous postings around the world, his team provides emergency security support and crisis response. Keeping the US ambassador's daughter safe in Sri Lanka? An unusual assignment for an "action group" used to dealing with evacuations, wars, incursions, and coups. Expecting a spoilt princess, Gage finds a hard-working therapist with a huge heart and sad eyes. 
 Hiding from heartache is no longer an option. 
 Chantal Durant's best friend has gone into hiding with intel that could lead to a nation's upheaval. Enemies have targeted the last person who helped her to escape… Turning a tragic past into a constructive existence, Chantal dedicates herself to helping others. She likes her work, likes her routine, and doesn't like that her safety is now in the hands of a cocky MSD agent. Her undeniable sexual attraction for the ruggedly handsome bodyguard would not only end his career but could get them both killed. 
 As multiple threats close in, Gage is faced with harrowing decisions. Trapped in an unfamiliar landscape, both Gage and Chantal will have to act fast to make it out alive. "If you're looking for the perfect blend of action and steam set against the backdrop of exciting international locales...your first stop should be Louise Dawn." - Janie Crouch.

After his fated mate died, Alpha Killian Thorne spent ten years resenting me. I was the Omega healer he never chose—bound to him by duty, not love. A substitute. A scar on a bond neither of us asked for. No matter how deeply I healed his wounds, no matter how quietly I stayed by his side, all he ever said was: “If you really want to please me, Clara… then disappear.” But when death came charging, it wasn’t I who fell. He did. Bleeding out in my arms, Killian looked at me one last time and whispered: “If only I’d never met you…” At the funeral, his mother wept. “He should’ve been with Selena. I never should’ve let him mate with you.” His father’s glare cut through me. “Killian saved you three times. Why wasn’t it you in that grave?” Everyone regretted that he had bonded with me. Even I did, too. I was cast out of the pack with nothing— No title. No Luna severance. No den to call my own. And then… perhaps the Moon Goddess took pity on me. She gave me one final chance to rewrite fate. This time, I won’t beg for his love. This time, I won’t tether him to pain. This time, I’ll sever the bond before it begins. I could already hear the gears of fate turning, and this time, I would move first.

Après la mort de sa compagne, l'Alpha Cédric Didier a passé dix ans à m'en vouloir. J'étais la guérisseuse Oméga qu'il n'avait jamais choisie, liée à lui par le devoir, pas par l'amour. J'étais une remplaçante, une cicatrice existait toujours sur un lien que aucun d'entre nous n'avait demandé. Peu importe la profondeur avec laquelle je soignais ses blessures, peu importe le calme avec lequel je restais à ses côtés, tout ce qu'il disait, c'était : « Si tu veux vraiment me faire plaisir, Clara... alors disparais. » Mais quand la mort est arrivée, ce n'est pas moi qui suis tombée. C'est lui. Saignant dans mes bras, Cédric m'a regardée une dernière fois et a murmuré : « Si seulement je ne t'avais jamais rencontrée... » Aux funérailles, sa mère a pleuré. « Il aurait dû être avec Solène. Je n'aurais jamais dû le laisser s'accoupler avec toi. » Le regard de son père m'a transpercée. « Cédric t'a sauvée trois fois. Pourquoi n'était-ce pas toi dans cette tombe ? » Tout le monde regrettait qu'il se soit lié à moi. Même moi, je le regrettais. J'ai été chassée de la meute sans rien... Pas de titre. Pas d'argent. Pas de tanière à moi. Et puis... peut-être que la Déesse de la Lune avait pitié de moi. Elle m'a donné une dernière chance de réécrire le destin. Cette fois, je ne le supplierais pas de m'aimer. Cette fois, je ne l'attacherais pas à la douleur. Cette fois, je couperais le lien avant qu'il ne commence. Je pouvais déjà entendre les rouages du destin tourner, et cette fois, j'agirais en premier.

Nachdem seine Schicksalsgefährtin gestorben war, hasste Alpha Killian Thorne mich zehn Jahre lang. Ich war die Omega-Heilerin, die er niemals gewählt hatte – an ihn gebunden durch Pflicht, nicht durch Liebe. Ein Ersatz. Eine Narbe auf einer Bindung, die keiner von uns gewollt hatte. Egal wie tief ich seine Wunden heilte, egal wie still ich an seiner Seite blieb – er sagte immer nur: „Wenn du mich wirklich zufriedenstellen willst, Clara… dann verschwinde.“ Doch als der Tod heranstürmte, war ich es nicht, die fiel. Sondern er. Als er in meinen Armen verblutete, sah Killian mich ein letztes Mal an und flüsterte: „Wenn ich dich nur nie getroffen hätte…“ Bei der Beerdigung weinte seine Mutter. „Er hätte bei Selena sein sollen. Ich hätte ihn niemals mit dir binden lassen dürfen.“ Der Blick seines Vaters schnitt durch mich. „Killian hat dir dreimal das Leben gerettet. Warum liegst nicht du in diesem Grab?“ Alle bereuten, dass er mit mir gebunden war. Sogar ich selbst. Ich wurde aus dem Rudel gejagt – ohne alles. Ohne Titel. Ohne Luna-Abfindung. Ohne ein eigenes Heim. Und dann… hatte vielleicht die Mondgöttin Erbarmen mit mir. Sie schenkte mir eine letzte Chance, das Schicksal umzuschreiben. Dieses Mal werde ich nicht um seine Liebe betteln. Dieses Mal werde ich ihn nicht an Schmerz fesseln. Dieses Mal werde ich die Bindung lösen, bevor sie beginnt. Ich hörte bereits die Zahnräder des Schicksals drehen – und dieses Mal werde ich den ersten Schritt tun.

The shock of seeing him again struck me like a bolt of lightning. No… It can’t be him. But it was. Sitting there, casually sipping tea, was him—the man from the bar.
