Tempest Covina...I never imagined I'd be a part of the world that Michael Williams lived in; his family was one of the wealthiest in the country.

My dream was always to help those who were less fortunate, especially the ones who were living with addictions.

Until Michael entered my life. His piercing blue eyes almost made me forget about my dreams. Almost.

I'd even considered giving up everything I'd worked for and just focusing on us. Michael had all the money in the world, he was the sexiest man I'd ever seen, and he was into me–me!

Until fate forced my hand. I received a phone call from an old friend of my brother's. I had to do the hardest thing I'd ever done and break off the engagement with the man I loved, or I would lose what I'd fought for my entire life.

Michael Williams... I was the youngest son and was always the screwup until a new woman entered my life.

I was crazy for Tempest. When she was near me, all I could think about was what else I could do for her.

She was sexy, brash, and outspoken. Did I mention sexy?

I asked her to marry me, and she agreed.

My life couldn't get better. She made me feel and do things I never thought I could.

Then Tempest walked into my home and threw the engagement ring I'd given her in my face - without an explanation.

I'd almost given up on us until I read a letter she'd left for me.
