I've never wanted to settle down. Never wanted a serious relationship. I was so confident I never would that I even made a $200 bet with one of my brothers.

But then I almost run her over. And the way she yells at me…

I'm a goner. Head over heels–just like that.

I'm determined to make things right. And when I finally get her attention the way I want, I'm determined to do things right–date her, get to know her.

But when I show up for our first date, she's unconscious and bleeding on the floor.

And my world falls out from beneath my feet.

Almost running me over put him on my crap list. But he's nothing if he's not persistent in his pursuit of me.

When he takes care of me after a night of heavy drinking, I can't help but begin to fall for him. No one has ever truly cared about me before, and it's the quickest way to get beneath my skin.

But now my mother has passed away, and my father wants what he thinks belongs to him.

He may destroy everything with Remi before it's even truly started. Because I can't dump my past on Remi.

Will Remi continue to fight for me even when I'm being tight-lipped about what happened to me, or will he deem I'm too much trouble and walk away?
