Three years ago, Jacob Price walked away. After a whirlwind steamy affair, my father's best friend broke my heart. He told me things were too complicated. Messy. Wrong. That we could never be together. I knew he loved me but the fear of ruining our family was too great. With too much at stake, he sacrificed our hearts and ended it. Now, he's back and he still wants me. He still loves me. But now, I'm engaged to another man.
