Jaxson Joseph Cole is the devil personified.

Tall. Dark. Handsome. I crave a man as cliché as God could create.

At twenty-six-years-old, he’s every little girl’s fantasy and every grown woman’s desire. He’s determined, stubborn, and incorrigible. He’s also the first boy I ever loved.

With my big sister’s wedding only a few days away, the entirety of our family is fitted together inside a luxurious resort in the Great Smoky Mountains of Tennessee.

I’ll be forced to brave his presence. I’ll be made to endure his torture. I’ll be obligated to keep my distance.

He wants me. I want him.

There’s just one small obstacle standing in my way.

Jaxson Joseph Cole scares me to death.
