I was selfish - for once, I had to be. The last time I saw Callum, he was standing at the dormer window as I sat in the back seat of a car. His dark eyes foreign to me.

He was now a boy with a hollow heart who was headed down a dark path. A path I knew I’d never cross again. Or, so I thought.

They refuse to give her up, and they'll tell any lie, barricade any door, and fight any foe to keep her.

Some girls have all the luck. Unfortunately, I am not one of those girls. Not when I lost my apartment because my roommate let the lease lapse while I travel for work. Not when my brothers keep finding love and my mother keeps reminding me I'm still single. Not after a one-night stand during my older brother's wedding has me waking up pregnant. I have to keep it a secret - from him and my family.

The Porter Brothers were raised to live and die by Three Rules. One, a Porter stands his ground. Two, a Porter leaves no enemy standing. Three... Sutton Creech was a cheat and a liar.
