All my life, as far back as I can remember, has been focused on caring for my younger sisters and my brother — and on how to get money to pay those damn, endless bills. Every day I’m forced to deal with problems and difficulties. I don’t even think about personal happiness. What is that, anyway? But one day I met Carter. He’s a stranger in our town. And he’s unbelievably beautiful, sexy, and smart. It seems I could fall for him. And that scares me to death.
