I'm no one. Just a bankrupt girl with no college degree, a ton of baggage, and no time for romance. I have obligations that no twenty-three-year-old should have to worry about. But here I am. Fighting to survive in a world that keeps knocking me down. Until fate brings Tucker Spaulding to my doorstep. On the outside, he's confident, cocky, and driven. On the inside, he's wounded. I see the anguish in his eyes when he thinks no one is looking. His pain speaks to me in ways I never imagined possible. And underneath the pain and swagger lurks a man with a heart of gold. If I'm not careful, I'm going to fall head over heels for Tucker, and I can't let that happen. Even if I had the option to start a relationship, Tucker would be my last choice. He's on a one-way path to self-destruction, and I can't risk losing another person when I've already lost so many. I've told him we can never be together, but he keeps coming back, doing nice things for us, worming his way into my heart and my bed. If only his heart didn't belong to someone else. .
