Emery: I walked away from Quinn three years ago. It was the biggest mistake of my life. I had my reasons, and I thought it was best to let him go. I am too much. But even knowing that, I still crave him. I still miss him. I need him. I love him.
But while I've been building an empire he's supposed to be a part of—and pining after him—he's off getting engaged. To someone who isn't me. He thinks I'm going to allow him to marry someone else? Not a chance.
Quinn: Emery has been causing me trouble since we were toddlers. She is loud, assertive, and maybe even an evil genius, but my love for her knows no bounds. She walked away from me, left me behind for a new life, and I had no choice but to watch. I put myself out there for her to take me as her own, but she wouldn't. So, I moved on. I got engaged.
And now, Emery is back. It's not a big deal. I won't fall back into my old ways of needing her. I won't let her close enough to see the secrets I've been hiding. I'll keep her at arm's length. I've got this.
Or so I think. Because, in true Emery fashion, she barrels into my life. I thought I had a handle on her. But honestly, when have I ever been able to handle Emery Brooks?
