"I want to be a good man. In every aspect of my life, I'm a model citizen, except when it comes to you." Once upon a time, Jesse Sampson was her everything-protector, best friend, hero. She idolized him until he betrayed her trust and broke her in the process. Five years have passed since they've laid eyes on one another, but a family emergency calls them home, forcing Violet to endure several weeks in her stepbrother's presence. She's determined to show him how little he affects her. She vows never to let him back in. But Jesse has his own plans.
