They say: ‘lightning never strikes twice’... Apparently—based on a quick web search–it can. Multiple times. Usually, with things that are isolated and tall. Like me. This fact has me wondering if love can also strike you multiple times, changing the beat of your heart each time. So, what do you do when you feel an instant connection with Liam, the enigmatic bouncer with his own secrets? What happens when he leaves you with no choice in the matter and not even a second glance behind him? You move on—only to discover that you are now dating his best friend. His partner in crime. The same man who will soon be the leader of the Tri-State Syndicate. I never knew passion this intense or temptation that delicious could stun me twice. But it sure can. Now, Liam is back, and he wants me back too. It’s too late for us. At least, that’s what I tell myself. He made his choice, but did I make mine?
