I've wanted Mitch since the day we met.

But the broody ex-Marine was the one man I could never have.

I'm not a girl who believes in fairytales. I'm no princess, and there's never going to be a handsome prince coming to my rescue.

I don't deserve it—not after all the hurt I caused.

So I tried to stay away, ran whenever he got too close. It wasn't enough.

Mitch wouldn't take no for an answer. He chased me until I gave in. Made me let go, break all my rules, and drop my defenses. He made me feel things I'd never felt before.

Our love was all consuming.

Our lives forever changed.

Are we finally ready to give up our hearts? Or will the wounds from our pasts continue to tear us apart?
