Rise

I'm Riley McKay. The perfect boyfriend.



I'm rich, good looking, and can climb a mountain with my bare hands. I remember birthdays and anniversaries. Plus, I'm a nice guy.



Your mom will love me. Your dad will respect me (in that grudging way dads do when they know you're screwing their daughter).



And when it ends, which-let's be honest-it always does?



I'm nice then too.



There's nothing missing from my life of serial monogamy. Definitely not the girl who walked away ten years ago without a word.



The one who drops back into my life like a fireball when I least expect it.



The only woman I couldn't do 'nice' with.



They say you can't rise without the fall.



With her, I've already fallen. No matter how sexy she is, or how fascinating, or how much I need her help with the Hollywood movie adaptation of Titan's newest game? I won't fall for Sam again.



Because falling is easy. Getting up is a b*tch.
