ย Sheโs in a white dress that dances around her ankles, and her hair tumbles in a long sheet of curls down her back. A veil covers her beautiful eyes, and she smiles directly at him. Janie is everything Rafeโs ever imagined she would be on her wedding day.ย
Breathtaking. Gorgeous. Perfect.
The moment he sees her walking down the aisle towards him, he knows that sheโs the one.
Then she passes him, making her way to the man sheโs to marry.
A man that wasnโt him.
A man that he knows with one hundred percent certainty isnโt good enough for her.
It seems that her father isnโt the only one whoโs having a hard time giving her away. Rafe only wishes he knew why.
Everything about Janie sparks protective instincts he doesnโt feel for anyone, not even his own fiancรฉ.
What he feels for the bride, however, isnโt merely a simple attraction. He knows that something is there just beneath the surfaceโฆif only he could reach it.
It has to be something huge, too, otherwise he wouldnโt be drinking whiskey straight from the flask in a church pew and wondering how many years he would do in prison if he shot the groom in front of about a hundred witnessesโhalf of those being cops.
He was goodโฆbut not that good.
A near-death experience cost Rafe almost six months of his memory, but right now he canโt help but feel like a huge mistake is being made on both of their parts. One thatโs going to cost him everything.
Then she says I do.
