Free Her Darkest Road (Roughneck #4) by Nicole Hart Page B

try very hard, since they were sure there was no foul play. Six months later, they found her in Florida. She had drowned. I’m sorry I never told you this, Angel. I only wanted what was best for you. And if letting you think she just walked away because she was selfish, instead of the truth, then I take full responsibility. Protecting you was the most important thing to me, and I will never regret that.
    I hope you understand the reasons I did the things I did. As a parent, all you want is what’s best for your children, no matter what. I’ve watched you grow into the best mom these past few years. I watched you fight for Maggie and I know you would do anything to protect both of your babies. You’re a lot like your old man, like it or not. And no matter how old you are, you will always be my little girl. My Angel.
    I love you.
     
    Love,
    Dad
