My dream is about to become a reality: owning my own resort and spa.

All I have to do is build it. That’s where she comes in.

The strongest woman I’ve ever met but also one of the most broken.

She keeps her cards close to the vest, never revealing much about her past.

Divorced, no kids, and with a new career, she’s on her way to a new and better life. A life I want to become part of.

Friendship blossoms into much more; the future looks bright for us.

Only it doesn’t seem to be in her ex’s plans for her to move on. Not with me. Not with anyone.

Secrets from her past threaten to break her further. She needs someone to protect her-to save her.

She needs me. I need her.

Our love is strong. I have to make her see that we need each other; my time to convince her is running out. Some things are too important to wait for.
