One tragedy changed everything.Lizzy One reckless night. One unforgettable taste of him. The moment I broke my rules and gave in, I knew I was playing with fire. His smoldering cerulean eyes and the way he whispered my name? Irresistible. He didn't want forever-but I needed more. Now, he's back, acting like the boyfriend dreams are made of. Sweet. Attentive. Protective. Maybe even ready to love me the way I crave. But how do I trust a man who's made walking away into an art form?Is a second chance worth the burn?Josh I left her. Not because I didn't want her-but because I wanted her too much. Marriage. Kids. The white picket fence. I told myself I couldn't be that man... because I'm my father's son. And he broke my mother in ways I can never forget. So I let Lizzy go. But fate had other plans. Now I'm here, ready to fight for her, to protect what's mine-with teeth, fists, and fury if I have to. She says she doesn't trust me.But I'll prove it-one kiss, one promise, one heated night at a time
