I have everything they said I would need. A degree, a job, an amazing group of friends—but there’s one thing missing... To him we’re nothing more than friends—good friends. To me he’s the one man who makes my heart beat faster. It doesn’t matter that his affections are elsewhere, I continue to love him from a distance dreaming of a happily ever after. Then...my world is turned upside down. Even if we manage to find each other through this storm, it will be a race against time. A fight against all the odds. The battle of a lifetime. No matter where this road takes us, I won’t regret a thing. He’s the man who owns my heart, my soul, and everything in between. And his name…is Sean.

Life sure knows how to knock you off your feet with curveballs you never see coming. She’s one of those curveballs. Lizzie—the girl with the big, blue eyes who captivated me from the first moment I saw her. I knew it was risky and irresponsible, allowing her to get so close when my life can change in an instant with one simple phone call. But I wasn’t strong enough to fight it. I couldn’t. Not when being with her made me realize that we found the kind of love most people search a lifetime for. But my past has the potential to tear us apart, and to break her in the process. How do I protect her from the consequences of decisions? I can’t let her slip through my fingers. She’s the most beautiful part of my life now. Precious, delicate, and worth fighting for… Until the very end.
