“If you give me the choice of anything outside these walls or being here with you, I choose you. Every time.”
Luke was like a mirror. When I looked into his blue eyes, I was reflected there. I saw the way he saw me.
But he didn’t press me to confide the worries and fears plaguing my mind. He was simply there, as constant as the river flowing through the land. Strong and bold and steady.
We live in a gray world and you’ve got to pick the shade closest to white.

I absolutely loved this book and could not put it down! Similar to Riven Knight, this book featured forced proximity between the two main characters where they are living together. The twist for this book- protective custody. I loved Scarlet and Luke’s dynamic, he was so patient and gentle with her and she quickly became open to building trust in him. This book has a great balance of romance and suspense with drama involving the Warriors. I for sure would recommend this book and am ready to start the next book asap!
