MaryAnne -- I was sixteen when I learned a hard lesson. No, it wasnāt a lesson. It was worse. Kidnapped, tortured, abused in the worst of ways⦠Iād thought my life was over. Until the day my knight in shining armor came to save me. Patriot. Despite how scary he looks, he has to be the kindest man Iāve ever met. He not only rescues damsels in distress, but animals too. Under that hard exterior is a heart of gold. It doesnāt matter that heās older than me. The more I get to know him, the harder I start to fall. But why would a man like him ever want someone like me? Iām dirty. Damaged. Broken beyond repair. Or am I? After all, Christmas is a time for miracles.
Patriot -- From the moment I saw her, sheās had me wrapped around her finger. Iāve done my best to chase the fear and shadows from her eyes, show her sheās safe. Iāve taken out nearly every man who ever hurt her, even if she doesnāt know it. And the two who are still standing wonāt be for long. I want to see her smile. Make her laugh. What better time than Christmas to prove to her life is worth living? Iāll make it the best sheās ever had!
But thereās only one thing I want under the tree this year⦠MaryAnne. She deserves better. Iām no angel. Iāve killed. Lied. Stolen. And worse. I tell myself repeatedly to keep my distance⦠until I canāt. One taste and I know Iāll never walk away. MaryAnne is mine! And if she wonāt listen to me, then maybe my whacky parrot can convince her. If thereās one thing the African Grey excels at, itās talking when he shouldnāt.
