Destiny isn’t something I buy into, but she makes me want to believe.
I cannot wait to get my hands on this book!
Keep reading to see the full Love Note!
Dear Andie,
If only you knew. My instincts tell me to run as far away as I can from this. Yet my heart tells me to keep going.
That maybe there’s a chance you’ll stay a little longer, that something will keep you here. You’ve awakened the fire in my heart and there’s no turning back for me. I don’t know what to do with it.
How to tame it. How to ignore it.
And maybe I don’t want to.
Warren
