One mistake.
A tragic accident.
A life-altering event.
Something I can never take back.
What do you do when you meet the girl of your dreams but you’re now a shadow of who you used to be.
Gemma Ackerman, my girlfriend, was my everything. Her quiet, nerdy aura drew me in and I never wanted to let go. Life on my Harley with her by my side was perfect.
Until it wasn’t—until I lost myself.
Because a part of me died that night and it was never coming back.
I welcomed anger instead.
I greeted loneliness like an old friend.
I allowed guilt and sorrow to nestle inside my head.
That’s when I met Claire Edwards—the epitome of joie de vivre. She showed me a new colorful way to see the world. She turned numbness into eagerness for a taste of life.
And now I’m torn between a girlfriend that never gave up on me and a woman I picture as my wife.
I had no other choice.
I let myself die, so that I may live.
And it’s all thanks to her. . .
