Fool Me Once - 9798310481367

It's true what they say, you really are wiser when you're older, because I've hated my younger self for years. After leaving behind the girl that I spent my entire life loving from afar, younger me deserves the hate, though. But when her dad told me I was ruining her life, I let my own insecurities consume me and knew I had to set her free.Now, I'm a defenseman for the New England Bay Sharks, living my dream. At least, that's what everyone thinks. Inside, I'm haunted by past mistakes, wishing I had a clock to turn back time and right my wrongs.Just as I lose hope that she's ever coming back, she shows up in Portland, bruised and battered-claiming she was in a car accident. She isn't the same strong-willed girl with the bright eyes she was before. No, replacing that girl is a woman in pain. A woman who's scared. And a woman who really hates my guts.Right away, I knew there was no car accident. No...those bruises were put on her perfect body by a monster. One that was supposed to care for and love her till the end of time.Worried for her safety, I craft a plan to keep her safe. One that includes her living in my house while pretending to be my girlfriend. After what I did to her all those years ago, I'll do anything to earn her forgiveness.I may have promised her that it's all for show and that I have no motive for wanting to keep her so close, but the truth is...I never stopped wanting her, and that's not about to change now.
