A chance meeting at a bar on the way home. The girl I’ve loved since high school, A one-night stand that changed everything.

Marissa Flores is the girl I wanted to spend forever with, but there was only one problem – she belonged to someone else. Instead of growing a set and putting my heart on the line, I left town after graduation without saying a word.

Choosing to bury my feelings, time passed, but the ache in my heart only grew stronger with each passing day.

When my mom called telling me about my father’s stroke, I prepared my heart to face the woman I’ve spent most of my life loving – bracing for the pain of seeing her with another man’s ring on her finger.

Imagine my surprise when I stop at a random bar and find her sitting on a stool. Alone. No ring in sight and no idea who the hell I am.

She agrees to spend one night with me. No strings attached. Tomorrow she plans on forgetting my name.

Too bad for her, I don’t plan on ever letting her go.
