She’s the only thing that matters.

And I left her. Eight years ago, after high school graduation, I fled the scene, leaving her heartbroken. A mafia psycho infiltrated my family and my father killed himself, leaving his five sons orphaned and alone. I couldn’t take it. Even she couldn’t help me. No one could.

I’m willing to put my heart in my hands and beg for forgiveness. I’ve grown up, and now I’m ready to make her mine.

But my lingering desire for Haylee puts everything in perspective. For the first time in my life, I see a future with a woman. I want to create a family, and earn my second chance.

Eight years later, I know we probably shouldn’t get involved again. Even though her lips tell me to get lost, the look in her hypnotic eyes tells me everything I need to know. She wants me. And I sure as hell never stopped wanting her. Her lush curves beg me to possess them.

But she’s been hiding something from me. Haylee has a daughter. Atlee has my eyes…and the moment I meet that precious little girl, I know she’s mine. And I realize that everything I thought I knew about life and love was wrong.

Dead wrong.

One touch and I’m lost. I want it all, and I’ll take it. Nothing’s going to stop me…not even the man who’s responsible for my father’s death. If he thinks he can keep my family away from me, he’s got another thing coming.
