When I first saw Ava Owen, I knew there was something different about her. But I wouldn't call it love at first sight. As her son's football coach, I was happy to meet her but our relationship started on rocky ground. There was something haunting about this woman that I couldn't ignore. I was magnetized to her, whether either of us liked it or not. I couldn't deny the attraction, but she wasn't ready for a relationship. Her husband, James, passed away a few years ago and she seemed determined to remain a grieving widow. Everyone knows the story of the knight who rescues the princess from the dragon's lair, but no one talks about the princess who likes her captor's company and refuses to leave the cave. I want to offer Ava a new life, where she is free to love again, but am I strong enough to help her leave her grief behind?
