Then There Was You

He's my dead boyfriend's brother.

I shouldn't want to be with him, but fate is plotting against me.

My grief is threatening to suck me under, but even hardened by the war he fought in, Nate won't let me travel that dark road alone.

The man makes me crave things I shouldn't. He makes me want to live again.

I know he feels it too—this attraction between us growing stronger each passing day.

I try to give him up, walk away, leave him behind, but he won't let me go without a fight.
