I was living a crazy life as a nighttime bartender with the only constant in my life being my best friend. There were men in my life, but they'd be gone long before anything real, since I felt nothing more than attraction to any of them. I was known as Nic, the player.

He was the one that made me want more before he violently ripped my heart from my chest. Once the dust settled, I vowed to keep everything casual. This time, his heart was broken, and he wasn't back in town for a good reason. I knew he needed me even as my mind told me to be careful. I knew I should take this slow, but it was Colton. He was my everything, and I fell in love more every moment that I spent with him.Tragedy and loss would test us. Life would take some crazy turns. Would we make it through this a second time?
