Saving Her Broke Me

She was only fifteen when I found her—broken, terrified, and barely alive.

I didn’t mean to keep her. I was a special ops officer with no patience for emotions and no place for weakness.

But she clung to me like I was her last light.

I raised her like a younger sister. Protected her. Watched her heal, grow, and fight her demons.

For five years, I thought I was doing the right thing.

Until one day…

She looked at me, not as her guardian, but as a woman in love.

I tried to push her away. I was too old. Too scarred. Too dangerous.

But she had already made up her mind.

And I—I was never strong enough to resist her.



She thought her life ended the day she was taken.

But when he saved her, it wasn’t just her body that began to heal—

It was her soul’s second chance.



He saved her life. She became his reason to live.

A slow-burn age-gap romance filled with healing, emotional tension, and a love that defied time.
