Prologue

They have been best friends for eighteen years.
Life happened and they lost touch...
Seventeen years later, family and fate decided to give it another try.

Gabe and Gabby both accomplished a great deal in their life. He is rich, handsome and
successful. She is independent, smart, wealthy, not to mention gorgeous. He was
named one of the most eligible bachelors, and she just wanted to find a guy
that will love her... not her money.

When Gabe saw Gabby for the first time after seventeen years, he knew exactly what
he wanted. He just had to make her realize it, and Gabby was terrified. Coming on
too strong and with so much passion was frightening for Gabby, but Gabe was persistent
and would not give up this time. How else would he make her see him as
something more than a best friend she grew up with? He didn't want to spend the
rest of his life wondering what would or would not be. After all, seventeen
years would not let him forget...

Would he survive if she didn’t want the same thing?
