Owen WestSure, Waverley Bennett is undeniably gorgeous with her long black hair and blue eyes that rival the sky. She’s also annoying, smart-mouthed, and oh yeah, my boss’s daughter…but those eyes.

It doesn’t matter anyway; I don’t have the time for a relationship. Nothing serious suits me just fine.

I’ve got my sister and niece to support, but when my sister takes things too far, I move Annabelle in with me and my cool uncle status goes straight down the drain as I take on temporary guardianship. When Annabelle begs to take Waverley’s summer reading program at her school, I’m forced to see Waverley treat Annabelle as her own like I wish her mother would.

With one night of Waverley taking care of Annabelle, I’m done for. I need her like I’ve never needed anyone before, but she’s got walls and a painful past that makes her hesitant.

But I’ll wait; I’ll tear down those walls brick-by-brick. In no time, Waverley and Annabelle become my world, my home, my family, but my life comes with responsibilities and drama that I shouldn’t put Waverley through.

She tells me to bring it all despite her fears, and I think I may just do it. However, my sister has different plans and now I have to make a decision that I don't want to make.

I can't lose either of my girls…I just can’t, but that’s not the hand I’ve been dealt. .
