I’ve loved him since I met him. Can a not-so-chance reunion give us a second chance?

The second I met Cameron, I knew I loved him. But when our moms started dating, it complicated things. For a while, it looked like we might become step-brothers.

Years later, our moms have broken up, and Cameron has moved across the country. But when work sends me to his city, it serves as a harsh reminder that Cameron blames me for all his hardships in his younger years.

I’ve been living life as a carefree playboy, but I’d give it all up for Cam — if only he’d let me.

Dad leaving was bad. Julian nearly becoming my step-brother was so, so much worse.

From the second we met, he’s been a thorn in my side, a persistent pest. The absolute last thing I need is him showing up where I work now that I live three thousand miles away.

He hurt my mother’s chance at happiness many years ago, and I’ve never forgiven him for that. Yet the Julian who strolls back into my life isn’t the jerk I remember from my youth. Can I trust this change? Or will I open myself up only to experience the same old Julian all over again? There’s only one way to find out, but I’m terrified to try.
