There are moments when you think life is going one way and a major curveball sends you the complete opposite direction. That's me, standing in the rain, wondering how things went so terribly wrong. What do I need? To hide at my brother's house to lick my wounds. What do I get? My brother's roommate, sexy-as-sin best friend, Carter Kennedy. The cute, adventurous boy who was my teenage crush. The inspiring, irresistible man who will never be mine. But then things get complicated with fun-filled days and pleasure-filled nights. If Carter wasn't the most commitment-phobic person I know, I could consider the cliché of dating my brother's best friend. But he will never fit the husband checklist I made to find the man who will be my world, and I'm not willing to compromise on that. At least, that's the plan.

"Authority is now the seat for those willing to sink the low enough take it by force. Honesty, that which is true, is a myth. We all believe and tell those very lies which we believe. Could I have settled? Lived an "honest life"? I'm not sure that what I would be doing would have been considered living. I could have climbed out of the mud at any time. But I was born to roll in it. I knew my place and its cost."
