Home Sweet Home

LeoEveryone has a past they're trying to outrun, myself included. My time in the military left me with scars, both physically and emotionally, which is why I keep to myself. Since returning home to Stewart Grove, I work a lot so I have little time to think. To remember. I'm just content to make it through the day.Then I meet Kallie Carpenter.I am drawn to the sexy bartender in a way I've never experienced, and despite knowing I should stay away, I can't. Kallie calls to the very depths of my soul, every broken piece of it.I hope I don't destroy us both.KallieTaking care of my injured dad and his horse ranch, as well as working at the local bar doesn't leave me much time for a social life. Between home and Burgers and Brew, I keep myself plenty busy, despite my dad's insistence I give dating another try. It's not that I wouldn't mind it, I just barely have any time to myself, let alone making room for another.Then I find Leo Martinez sitting at the end of the bar.He's guarded and a little rough around the edges, but I can't stay away. There's a darkness in his eyes that speaks of pain, yet I only see the amazing man he tries to hide from the world.I pray he lets me in.
