Angie is a survivor. Anything you could throw at her, she could overcome.
After her father left her like a pile of unwanted trash, she began fighting. Fighting to build a life. Fighting to keep her child. Fighting to matter.
She thought she had it all figured out.
Then Bowen Race Tannenbaum walks into her life, turning it into a flurry of confusion, hope, and then ultimately despair. He tore down, brick-by-brick, her carefully constructed world, leaving her heart in tatters and longing for more. Such as a happily ever after, something that wasn't ever going to happen for her. Not when she couldn't give him what he wanted. He'd break her, and she couldn't be put back together a second time.
Bowe wasn't always so jaded, but when you keep drawing a losing hand, it tends to affect a man. He didn't mean to lash out so carelessly. But he was so over being told no. He was done being lied to. He through with being cheated on.
This time, his heart was getting what it wanted. If Angie wasn't able to see what he was offering, what was right here in front of her, well then, he'd just have to damn well show her.
