The day I met Cadence, I was drunk, lying on the floor of her rescue singing Twinkle Twinkle to a dog.

The second time I met her, she was waitressing at a club. She was a dream, and the way she lit up around me, I thought I found my future.

Until my brother let it slip that I own the club and was technically her boss.

The third time I saw her, I was drunk again, mostly naked, upside down on a stripper pole.

Then I fell off.

Of course she's able to resist me.

But when I find her and her grandma sleeping in the rescue? Well maybe forcing them to come live with me wasn't the best plan, but now that they're here, I don't want to let them go.

So I'm going to work like hell to prove to her that she can trust me with all of her.
