Boys of Silver Ridge

When we were only kids, Sam Harris and I made a promise we'd marry each other if we were still single when we turned thirty. Well, my thirtieth birthday has come and gone and I'm still as single as ever.And as far as I know, so is Sam.But it's been ages since we've seen each other, and after what he did to me our senior year of college, I wouldn't put his ring on my finger even if begged he me to marry him. Never mind his devilish good looks. Or the fact that the playboy partier is a doctor now.Nope, I'm sticking to my guns with this, and when I go back to Silver Ridge for the first time in years, I won't pay him the slightest of attention. Well…until he convinces me to go out for drinks to catch up. I knew it was a bad idea the moment I agreed to it.And then he brings up our childhood promise.It might be fun and games to him, but it's not to me. Because as much as I don't want to admit it, Sam has always been my first choice. And I don't want to be nothing more than his backup plan.

I fell in love with Chloe Fisher when we were only kids. I knew then, just like I know now, there will never be another woman in the world for me but her. A silly childhood pact to marry each other if we were still single and thirty kept us together…until I messed up, hurting the only woman I've ever truly cared about. I swore if I ever got a second chance, I would make things right, prove to Chloe I've changed, that I'm not the same guy who broke her heart years ago. History has a way of repeating itself, and now that Chloe is finally giving me what I've always wanted, I'm terrified that maybe Chloe will always be the one that got away. That maybe, just maybe, she's entirely too good for me. I've never been one to give up, and I'll keep fighting for her-for us, even though the universe is doing its very best to keep us apart. It's true what they say: desperate times call for desperate measures. And I'm willing to do whatever it takes to make her mine.
