Ava
He was like nothing I'd ever known: tall, muscular, tattooed, rough in every way...except with me. He'd never had softness in his life; never experienced a woman who loved him like I could. After one meeting, I couldn't get him out of my head. There wasn't even an explanation for why I was drawn to him. We were from two entirely different worlds and I couldn't offer him anything but...me.

Gabe
She found a way to chip away years of harsh living. I'm not sure what kept her coming back, but I couldn't deny I needed that from her. She begged me to give her a chance, but my reluctance had nothing to do with her. It was me. I was the one she'd regret. I was the one who would shake her peaceful, innocent world until there were no tears left. But for some reason...she wouldn't leave my side.
