Second Chance

They grew up together and have been best friends for eighteen years. Well, even then he hoped for more and she never allowed herself to see him as more than a friend.

Life happened and they lost touch...
She moved away. So did he shortly after, but she never knew that.

Seventeen years later, family and fate decided to give it another try.
Gabe and Gabby both accomplished a great deal in their life. He is rich, handsome and successful. She is independent, smart, wealthy, not to mention gorgeous. He was named one of the most eligible bachelors, and she just wanted to find a guy that will love her... not her money.

When Gabe saw Gabby for the first time after seventeen years, he knew exactly what he wanted. He just had to make her realize it, and Gabby was terrified. Living on her own for so long, never experiencing or witnessing the passion he was bestowing upon her confused the heck out of her. And then there was guilt that assailed her when she realized how oblivious she was about him.

Coming on too strong and with so much passion was frightening for Gabby, but Gabe was persistent and would not give up this time. How else would he make her see him as something more than a best friend she grew up with? He didn't want to spend the rest of his life wondering what would or would not be. After all, seventeen years would not let him forget...

Would he survive if she didn’t want the same thing?
