I wasn't supposed to fall for Wyatt Hutton. It just... happened.
His pale blue eyes steal my breath-right before he looks away, like wanting me is a flaw he's fighting hard to hide.
He's older.
Wiser.
And our families are tangled in a history neither of us asked for-his father the man who broke hearts, my mother the woman tangled up in the fallout.
We shouldn't fit.
We shouldn't even try.
But life keeps pulling us back to each other anyway.
Wyatt is the one I turn to when everything falls apart.
The steady presence, the quiet strength, the man who sees me when no one else does.
And no matter how hard he tries to keep his distance, he's just as drawn to me as I am to him.
We've fought our feelings.
We've battled our pasts.
We've done everything except admit the truth:
we're better together than we've ever been apart.
Maybe it's finally time to stop fighting fate-
and fight for each other instead.
