Falling for Him (Hudson Boys #2)

Prologue

Bennett

There was a time when I thought I’d never be able to look at my brother the same. A time when I felt as though the man I’d spent my life idolizing was a stranger to me. Because there was no way Brantley would ever go after a woman I had feelings for. There’s no chance he’d hurt me like that.

Brant has been my hero for as far back as I can remember. Someone I looked up to and wished more than anything I could be just like. A strong, compassionate, and dedicated man that would move mountains for family.

I’ve always trusted him without question.

But a rift triggered by a girl we both wanted drove a wedge between us I never thought we’d be able to mend.

Two strong-willed men, acting like children.

Two egos that were struggling to be the winner in the end.

But through it all, one thing remained true. The O’Shay men always found their way back to the top. It was messy, and we may have scars, but we made it through.

It still stings a little that he got the girl. But the truth is, it was never really about the girl, it was more about winning. I’m not proud of that.

Sutton and Brantley, they belong together, I saw it from the beginning which only made it harder to accept. I don’t like to lose, I don’t like to feel like I’m second to anyone.

It’s my problem, one I need to learn how to get past.

I’ve played games for far too long. I’ve never taken a second to pause and realize that my actions were hurting those around me.

I also didn’t stop long enough to see the right woman was right in front of me all along. Yet, now I may have caused too much irreversible damage. I may have pushed away the one I was meant to love from the start.

That, I have no one else to blame.

It’s all on me.

And I have to be the one to fix it.
