He's sorry for the part he played in her father's death. If he were a better man, he'd be sorry enough to stay away from her. But he can't...
There's something about Kelly that keeps him coming back to her. There's something about her that makes him want more than just her forgiveness. Now he wants her love too... but can she look past all the ways he's wronged her?
