Amelia Richardson was innocent, maybe even forbidden to me. and u2029he was a good girl, played piano for the church. Pure. That's what she was. and u2029Cherry Falls was an idealistic community, a place you could have a family, have the dream and settle down. Picturesque was a word used most frequently to describe my town, and it's why I decided to stay here, to keep calling this my home. and u2029As a firefighter, I prided myself on taking care of the community and keeping control. and u2029But Amelia had that control leaving me completely. and u2029Despite working as a team to keep Cherry Falls safe, I'd always seen myself as a one-man show, not needing anyone or anything to be happy, even if I felt pressure from my family to settle down and have kids. and u2029I never saw that in the cards for me... not until I'd first seen Amelia. and u2029She cracked the world around me, opened my heart, and showed me there was far more in this life, more than I'd ever thought possible. and u2029It started out as a friendship. It'll end with her being mine. and u2029I just needed to show her what I could offer, how I saw a future with her... for us. and u2029Forbidden or not, Amelia would be mine.
