Hard Rock Bottom Of Your Heart (The Last Best Place For Love #1)

The last thing I expected was for a single dance with the woman I loved to cause so much trouble.

For years, I’d danced around this flirtation with Bailey.

We both knew it would eventually lead to that big, white chapel, overwhelming love, and a lifetime together that would rival any tragic love story. If it weren’t for that dance.

That was the night everything changed. I’d been planning this night with Bailey since I was in third grade when I rescued her from the monkey bars. Ever since then, she was mine. She knew it.

My family knew it. Hell, the entire town had been waiting for the moment I would finally make my move. Apparently, so was someone else.

But there was no joy where he was concerned, only a need for revenge that would destroy any happiness the two of us shared, along with anyone in my family.

No matter how hard I tried, there was no way out. Her life was in danger, and it was all because of me. And that was something I just couldn’t tolerate.

She was the love of my life, but keeping her alive was more important than winning her in the end.
