Ten years ago, I left the innocent life I led behind. One phone call changed everything I thought I knew or wanted. Now Charlie was back in my life more beautiful than ever, and stirring up feelings I thought were long dead. How she got mixed up in a life I never wanted for her I'll never know, but with each passing day I spend protecting her now I war with myself on whether or not I should do the right thing and send her packing or if I let my selfish needs take over.
I've been keeping secrets from my roommates, but my one-night stand just outed me. Now they know I am bi and that I just hooked up with one of the professors at our school.?They wanted to know why I wasn't the happy-go-lucky guy I was before going home for the summer, but I'm not ready for them to learn why.Everything changed for the worst this summer.?It was a secret that kept me up at night. A secret that devastated me to the point I wasn't sure if I'd ever be the same again. ?How could I concentrate on school when my whole world was upside down? I had more important things to worry about-namely, my one-night, very drunken stand who kept showing up in my life.
I never thought I'd have to start over. Let alone my senior year in college, but without my twin brother and my best friend, my life fell apart.Now I was finally healthy and ready to meet my new team. That was until I saw who the assistant coach was. What was my ex, pro soccer playing boyfriend doing in Willow Springs? You know what? I didn't care. He dropped me like yesterday's garbage after he told me nothing would break us apart. Not even an ocean.He was a liar.When I took the job as assistant coach, I never thought I'd see Danica Francisco. I knew her brother lived here, but not her. Why wasn't she three hours away?I was finally getting my life back on track after what I thought was the worst time of my life. Except now, I was thinking taking this job was the worst decision I'd ever made with the exception to cut Danica out of my life.Too bad she looks like she wanted to kill me and put my body through a wood chipper every time she looked at me.How was I going to survive being so close to her and yet being so far away?
