I came for my brother’s kid. I stayed for the woman who swears she doesn’t need me.
I dropped my old name the day my twin died.
Nothin’ about my life made sense after that—until her.
Ginny’s carryin’ Jack’s baby.
She wasn’t his ol lady, but now she’s all that’s left of him.
A reason to show up. To be better.
She doesn’t want me around. Says I’m pushy, loud, a pain in the ass.
She’s got her people, her plan. Doesn’t need a man like me in the mix.
But I see past all that tough talk.
I see the weight she’s carryin’. And I sure as hell feel the pull between us.
I stepped in for the baby.
But I’m stayin’ for her—even if she swears I’ve got no place in her world.
She’s wrong.
She just doesn’t know it yet.
