Hadley First I turned down a marriage proposal, then I moved to Annapolis to open a law firm. I thought my world couldn't change any more... Until Cade stepped into my office, smelling of sawdust with his company's T-shirt stretched taut over his chest and biceps. Everything about him was sexy-as-sin and completely off-limits. But I can't risk the business I sunk my savings into by dating a client, and he won't risk his heart. The more we spend time together, the more I want him. Even if a relationship between us was possible, how can he give me all of him? Cade After my wife died, I swore off dating. I threw myself into my charity instead. It was easy at first, but I can't ignore my attraction anymore. Hadley comes from a wealthy family that operates with manipulation, lies, and deceit. I don't fit into her world, but the closer we get, the more I wanted to show her how things could be different. I never thought I'd meet someone who gave me hope for a future. One full of possibilities, love, and maybe even marriage and kids. But how can I promise her forever when I know love doesn't last?
