He was eighteen when he walked out of my life. On his birthday, he joined the Army and got stationed far away. I was sixteen. We were best friends, and he left, taking my heart with him. He promised to come back soon, but he didn't. It wasn't until five years later, after my parents passed away, that he came back. It wasn't truly him, though. The guy that I knew was a romantic. He always wanted to fall in love, get married, have kids, and live happily ever after. When he came back, however, he didn't believe in love. He saw too much to believe in love. It hurt him. It hurt me. So this is me, teaching him to love again--

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?
