Youâve always been mine to love and to hateâ¦
Small towns have a way of making you face your past.
And thereâs two sides to every story.
Hawk and Brittney met as kids in a time when they both needed someone.
Their worlds were already in a state of unrest when an unexpected betrayal stripped them bare.
Words of hate were uttered and promises broken, leaving them bitter enemies.
One is left fighting for the truth, while the other is left with nothing but a dream.
But time and distance canât separate them forever and fate seemingly intervenes.
Lines blur as they realize things may not have been what they seemed, and old feelings are resurrected.
But amid salvaging their connection comes another fight.
Hawkâs murky past catches up to him and Brittney is thrust in the middle, leaving him no choice but to fight once more to save the girl he realizes heâs always loved.
Even if it means destroying her dreams and wrecking her heart.
Fighting for her is the only thing that matters, and this is one battle he wonât lose.
Winner takes heart.

She stares at me as her lower lip trembles before finally crawling under the covers. I hear her sniffle as she tries to fight back her emotions. I walk around the bed to where sheâs turned on her side so I can see her face. This time she doesnât meet my eyes, she stares blankly at something behind me.
I kneel and tuck a few loose strands of hair behind her ear. âYou mean more to me than anyone ever has, dolcezza. You can trust that.â
She peers at me sadly as she rapidly blinks tears away. âDid you love her? Did she take my place when you left me behind? It was her, wasnât it?â
âWhat are you talking about?â I ask.
âDid she get all your firsts, Hawk?â she asks in a pain-stricken tone.
I pull my hand back, unsure how to answer, but my silence is answer enough. I thought I loved Angel back then, but I realize now nothing about it was love. Infatuation and running from my demons landed me in her arms. And regrettably, I did share my first time with her instead of Brittney like I should have. Angel is the definition of deceit. If you look it up in the dictionary, her picture should be beside it.
Brittney closes her eyes, and the tears leak down her nose and into her hair. I attempt to wipe them away, but she whispers a plea, âPlease donât.â
âBabyâ¦â I start.
Her watery gaze focuses on me. âI know you care. I even believe you love me, Hawk. But I donât think youâre in love with me. Not in the same way Iâm in love with you. Itâs only ever been you since we were kids.â
I stare at her in surprise. I donât know how to respond. I do think Iâm in love with her, but Iâm not going to drag her into what it means to be a Rossi. My grandfather made it clear I owe him for his help. The debt will be settled by taking on the role he thinks I should. My feelings for Brittney canât save me from that fate.
