I have a plan.

Buy a car, keep my feelings locked down tight where they are safe, and stay a virgin.

Should be easy, right?

Except nothing in my life is easy.

Especially since a tall, dark-eyed, mysterious guy shows up, occupying way too much space in my head, and smelling just too delicious for my own good.

He makes me feel things I can't afford to feel, and when he lets me in on his painful past, a bond I didn't need or want is forged.

Against my better judgment, I let him in, and now a devastating secret threatens to tear us apart.

I had a plan.

Why didn't I stick to it?

Will we survive what life is determined to throw at us?
