Twelve years ago, I gave up the love of my life because my family made the relationship impossible. Now that Ali has come back to me, I’m not going to give her up again. It’s been years since I’ve seen her, and I know she’s hated me all this time. I never expected to see her working as an event planner for one of my father’s business partners. But here she is, always snooping around and getting into trouble. I’m supposed to be providing security, but I can’t stop thinking about her.

But then I take her against the wall and she finds her way into my motherf*cking heart. The truth is, I'm the lost cause, and Catalina might be the one person who can save me.

For her, I will do anything. She was my best friend, but I'm ready to make her my woman. I just need to convince her I'm not the guy I used to be. That I'm more than an actor; I can be her leading man.
