The one bright spot had been her grandmother, who just died. In retrospect, she regrets that she didn’t cherish the little love she’d been given the way she should have. It was easy to feel sympathy for Charlize and the poor choices she made when she was younger. Ben Johnson is a caring, sensitive man--nothing like Charlize’s psychotic ex-. Being that kind of person, he goes above and beyond with his selfish ex-girlfriend even when maybe he should have given up long ago. Charlize and Ben both deserved happiness, and it was exciting to see the path they took toward each other and a happily-ever-after neither actually expected. I look forward to the next in the series.\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote data-darkreader-inline-color=\"\" style=\"font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 1.0rem; \/* body size of the quote *\/ line-height: 1.5; margin: 2rem 0; color: #444;\"\u003e Hotcha, Amazon\u003c!-- closing mark --\u003e \u003cspan data-darkreader-inline-color=\"\" style=\"font-size: 4rem; line-height: 0; vertical-align: -0.3em; color: #aaa;\"\u003e”\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify; mso-pagination: none; page-break-after: avoid;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify; mso-pagination: none; page-break-after: avoid;\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"DE\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: DE;\"\u003eOnce upon a time, \u003c\/span\u003eBen Johnson believed he had forever sewn up with Layla. But fairy tales rarely come true in reality. Long before her nephew was in a hunting accident and she blamed Ben for not preventing it, the two of them had broken up, citing irreconcilable differences. Layla hadn't wanted his family to know the truth. Following the accident, she walked out--for good, he assumed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify; mso-pagination: none; page-break-after: avoid;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-tab-count: 1;\"\u003e          \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify; mso-pagination: none; page-break-after: avoid;\"\u003eCharlize Seagrave never fit in anywhere, drawn to danger, darkness, and drugs. For years, she was the guitarist and songwriter for a death-metal band and involved with the frontman who only encouraged her deadly addictions. In order to hide from Freyr, Charlize checked herself into rehab. Later, clean--another first in her life--she attended her new friend's wedding and met Ben. Despite their instant connection, he was supposedly in a committed relationship and she had no interest whatsoever in commitment. If only Ben wasn't so unlike every other person she's ever known. If only she didn't feel like he alone understands and gets her.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify; mso-pagination: none; page-break-after: avoid;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-tab-count: 1;\"\u003e          \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify; mso-pagination: none; page-break-after: avoid;\"\u003eWhen Charlize returns to Amethyst at Halloween, Ben knows loneliness has nothing to do with his feelings for her. His attraction to her the last time she was in Amethyst wasn't something he was comfortable with, despite that he and Layla had broken up even before his family learned of the fact.
