Everything I used to care about means nothing now because of him.It’s all because of him.So when he shows up on my driveway two years later and tells me he’s moving in with me for his freshman year of college, I kick his ass and tell him to disappear. For good this time... moreI’ve never hated anyone as much as I hate him.The day my sister died, I told her best friend I never wanted to see him again, and I meant it.I lost her because of him.

I didn't know if I'd ever see him again.Adam Kane. My best friend, stepbrother... and the guy I fell for when I was eighteen.Three and a half years ago, Adam had a choice to make.Spoiler alert—he didn't choose me.He left me after our high school graduation and took my heart with him.Now he's back, living with me and my teammates, and the real kicker?

Now that he's within reach, I'm not letting him get away a second time.I'm making him mine again.And I'll do whatever it takes to keep him. less
