i love you so • tate mcrae

Venice trusted a boy with her heart when she was sixteen, but the only thing she got in return was a positive pregnancy test and the title of "single mom."

She was all alone with a baby, craving love that she wasn't sure she would ever get. Desperate, she turned to the first man who wanted her.

He promised to give her a family, a new life. But he was a liar, and turned her life into hell.

Now, at twenty-five, Venice gave up on the dream of love. It just wasn't in the cards for her.

She was a single mother, had three jobs, and was taking online college classes. She didn't have the time for love anyway.

She lacked total interest when her bitchy neighbor leaves a nasty note on her front door.

But it was hard to ignore her chestnut hair, her body, and that bright smile that rarely came out.
