Turning the same corner, he was no longer there. Vanished into thin air. Only to pop in the corner of my eye; he traps me against the wall, holding me in place. "What do you want princess?" "You know what I want Zach. You're my ma..." He slams his hand against the wall, near my head; cutting my sentence off. "Don't. Say. It." A fire in his eyes; pure wrath. A deadly sin. "Why do you do this to yourself Zach? You've been in pain your whole life. Why can't you let yourself feel again?" "Because I don't want you to get hurt." "She saw love in empty hearts." * * * -Graphic Content -Mature Content -Graphic Language -Violence (16+) Have to read Fated before reading this book.

The second I saw her my skin heated and heart skipped a beat. I knew I had to know who she was. I knew I just needed to be near her. After my horrible marriage I knew getting involved with anyone was the worst thing I could possibly do. The problem was the girl of my dreams was standing right in-front of me partially guarded. She knew my family and knew about my past which should scare me away, but it doesn't it only draws me closer to her. My brother is getting married, I'm the best man, she's the maid of honor. If I screw this up even a little bit everyone is going to have my ass. The second I saw him my mouth went dry. His sculpted arms in that t-shirt covered in ink, my body was telling me to run the other way, to not get involved with this gorgeous dangerous man with a military past. Those gorgeous blue eyes however pulled me in and saw right through every part of me. He's my best friends soon to be brother-in-law, and I have legal custody of a child that isn't mine. Nobody wants to be with a single mom these days, what makes him any different?
