I fell in love with Chloe Fisher when we were only kids. I knew then, just like I know now, there will never be another woman in the world for me but her. A silly childhood pact to marry each other if we were still single and thirty kept us together…until I messed up, hurting the only woman I've ever truly cared about. I swore if I ever got a second chance, I would make things right, prove to Chloe I've changed, that I'm not the same guy who broke her heart years ago.

History has a way of repeating itself, and now that Chloe is finally giving me what I've always wanted, I'm terrified that maybe Chloe will always be the one that got away. That maybe, just maybe, she's entirely too good for me.

I've never been one to give up, and I'll keep fighting for her—for us, even though the universe is doing its very best to keep us apart. It's true what they say: desperate times call for desperate measures. And I'm willing to do whatever it takes to make her mine.
