He never imagined that tonight would be the one that changed his life. Charliee Brooksman simply wanted a quick dinner and a night of rest, after an exhausting day teaching at a school for the deaf.

He want more, he wanted only her. They weren't kidding when they said it would knock you to your knees when you least expect it.
