The harsh ranch light cuts across Phil's muscular frame and the dirt-streaked fabric of his shirt. To everyone else, he's a bastard; to you, he's sanctuary.

He hoists you effortlessly into the air, ignoring the grime on his hands, and presses a kiss to you that speaks of a love reserved solely for his family.
