Falling for You

He’s older, hotter than the devil himself, and completely off-limits to me. The moment I saw Garth Walker step into my college classroom, I knew he was trouble. With his dark hair, towering figure, and brooding eyes, he was exactly what I needed to stay away from. Why? For one, I had a boyfriend. Connor was everything a girl like me was supposed to want. And I gave him everything. Connor? Not so much these days. But I was staying on the path I laid out for myself. We were planning on going to medical school together. But Garth Walker had a way of showing up every time Connor didn’t.

Every broken piece of me had been stripped away so that, like a phoenix, I would be able to rise from the ashes of my past. He’d been the one to show me the truth of who I was. Who I am. Without him, I would still be chained to another man and a life that was killing me slowly.

I wanted to leave my old life behind for good. And that’s exactly what I did when I moved to New York City with the love of my life to start an internship that would kickstart my dream career. I felt stronger and more sure of the woman I was becoming as I let go of the person I once was. But my past was haunting me.
