Michael Thompson doesn't believe in perfection. His idea of perfection is a balance between loyalty, respect, and his duty as Alpha. That was until Havana James came and turned his life of structure upside down.

At first glance, he knew she was more than just a chance encounter, and after meeting her abusive boyfriend, he vows to protect her. There is only one thing standing in his way – his arranged marriage with Jane.

Will Michael be capable of loving Havana the way she craves to be loved? Can he achieve the perfect love he swore didn't exist? Or will Jane get in the way of their love?

Peace. That's what she feared losing? That and this place. Sure, this place was beautiful, the grass was evenly watered, and the flowers were in full bloom. But the most peaceful thing I've seen here is her. The golden locks trailing down her back seemed almost like they were mirroring the sun in brightness.

Lost In Havana

I continued to stare at the half-empty beer bottle. A large part of me wanted to finish it. It distracted me from the pain Havana left. The other part of me wanted nothing to do with the liquid devil. It convinced me that kissing Jane was a good idea. I kissed Jane… willingly. Eww. The thought was bound to haunt me at night.


I took various bills out of my pocket placing them on the counter. I was done with drinking. I had to find a different distraction. Preferably one as far away from Jane's lips as possible.


Standing from the barstool, my phone screen lit up. Havana's name appeared on the screen as the phone vibrated on the bar counter. Why was she calling me? We said everything that needed to be said at the hospital. Didn't we?


I stare at the screen debating on whether I would accept or decline her call. I desperately wanted to hear her voice, but I wasn't ready. The wound of my heartache was still fresh. It hadn't been twenty-four hours yet.
