Who even believes in love at first sight anymore? Certainly not me.
At thirty-five, I thought I’d never find love and was perfectly fine with it. My life was fulfilling—running my own business and enjoying casual flings whenever I felt like it. But the day I went to pick up my favorite coffee, she caught me off guard—spilling hot coffee on my chest. And just like that, everything changed.
I didn’t know her name, her story, or if she was married. All I knew was that I had to make her mine. Later I found out that she comes with a lot of baggage. A single mom starting over in my small town, she wasn’t ready for a new relationship. She also carried scars from her previous marriage, making her wary of trusting anyone again.
Yet, when have I ever backed down from something I truly wanted?
Violet is everything I never thought I would want. She is gorgeous, a devoted mother to her boy, and everyone in town loves her. I’m sure I am not the man she thought she would fall in love with, but I might finally get the chance to say the words I’ve never dreamed of… I want to spend the rest of my life Loving Violet.
