One I find impossible to resist.With every early morning conversation, late night movie, and stolen moment away, I find myself falling in deep, until my one-time rival becomes the one person I can’t live without.With a difficult past and scars that are not so easily healed, Evan is skeptical of words like love, family, and forever. But with my heart entirely lost to her and my family on my side, I’m determined to show her that forever is real, and that right from the start, she and I were always meant to be. less
