"Sometimes, wanting someone just isn't enough."

I don't want to believe those words. Because I've never fallen for someone like Fin Callaghan. And I can't imagine that this feeling isn't enough.

To say my first interaction with Fin leaves much to be desired is an understatement. He infuriates me, barely speaks, and glares at me all the time. Not to mention he thinks I'm a mess.

It isn't in my plans to start to like him. To fall for him. To want something more. But Fin's past is filled with a pain that makes any kind of us impossible. He can't seem to figure out what he wants, and truthfully, neither can I.

All I know is that I want more than what he's willing to give.

All I should be focusing on is my family as we try to sort through the wounds left by our past mistakes. I have more than enough on my plate, have sacrificed too much to fracture my focus. I shouldn't allow a woman to get in the way. Especially one like Carly Palmer.

She's different. Wild. A bright burst of color in my world of black and white. Before I know it, she's all that I want. All I can think about. But it doesn't matter. I've been through betrayal that still singes my skin, eats at my soul.

I won't allow it to happen again.
