Trust me. The pure, unadulterated want between us has never been stronger—and it seems Gunner is pulling all the punches to drive me crazy. He’s good, I’ll hand him that.But as they say—“You can’t pick your family”—and I’ll be damned if I’m going to let one of them take heat for a crime they didn’t commit.This case means war.

Falling in love is easy. Staying in love is hard. In this heart-pounding follow-up to Tangled by New York Times bestseller Emma Chase, Kate reveals that there is trouble in paradise, when unexpected circumstances force her and Drew to "renegotiate" their relationship.There are two kinds of people in this world: the ones who look first, and the ones who leap. I’ve always been more of a looker. A planner. Cautious. Then I met Drew Evans. He was so persistent. So sure of himself. He made it easy to leap with him. Did you think Drew and I were going to ride off into the sunset and live happily ever after? So did I. But life is about choices, and Drew already made his. In fact, he tried to decide for the both of us—but you know that’s not my style. So I came back to Greenville, to spend some time alone...sort of. Because old habits die hard, and sometimes you have to go back to where you began before you can move ahead again.

*Bryant and Tynleigh's Prequel* Passion is everywhere. It's in everyone, especially women, just waiting to be freed. I like to pride myself on finding the most passionate. The ones that don't need me for anything other than a good time for a while and then moving on with their lives. My life has been one spiral of fun right after another, and I like it that way. I live with no regrets. I've experienced women in many forms. I've loved, lost, and found again. I love their bodies, I lose her when she's tired of being sexually benefitted friends-or in the last case, running back to the one that she wanted all along-and then I find another when the perfect target stumbles upon my witty charm. It's a repetitive game I've played most of my teenage and adult life. I'm perfectly fine with a woman using me, as long as she's using me for my body. But I suppose the last one could have ended before I was ready. Just as I was preparing to bang my way into someone else, Joel called. When the fucker calls, I drop what I'm doing and fly to New York, because it's usually warranted, and he's family. God only knows he's been dished a shitty hand. It was supposed to be a rescue mission like it always is, but maybe it's me that needs to be rescued more than anyone. There she was-the woman that will forever change my life. I just didn't know it when I boarded that plane, California bound. It's funny how consequences to our own actions can bring us to the very place we're meant to be . . . for the rest of our lives. And dammit, she's just as resistant as me.
