<p><strong><em>She can't stand me.</em></strong></p><p class="ql-align-justify"><br></p><p class="ql-align-justify">She also thinks she's got me all worked out. </p><p class="ql-align-justify"><br></p><p class="ql-align-justify">My Princess is determined to stay as far away from me as possible. Eighteen months ago, she wanted me, but now she's convinced I'm bad news. </p><p class="ql-align-justify"><br></p><p class="ql-align-justify">The thing is, an attraction like ours doesn't just fade, and my need for her has only grown stronger no matter how many times she offers me a scowl instead of her beautiful smile. </p><p class="ql-align-justify"><br></p><p class="ql-align-justify">We've been playing a game of cat and mouse since the day she wore my jersey, and fortunately for her, I love the chase. I love to watch the way her body reacts to mine. I'd fall to my knees in front of her if I didn't think she'd kick me while I'm down and unearth painful memories from my past that I've worked to keep hidden for so long.</p><p class="ql-align-justify"><br></p><p class="ql-align-justify">I'm not the only one with secrets and a hurtful past, though. The walls she's built around her are so high that I doubt anyone can see the real Kate. But I can; I see it all. I know what makes my girl tick and what she truly wants from life. I was just waiting for a chance to prove it. </p><p class="ql-align-justify"><br></p><p class="ql-align-justify">And now that it's here, I'm going all in to make Kate Violet Monroe fall in love with me.</p><p class="ql-align-justify"><br></p><p class="ql-align-justify"><br></p><p class="ql-align-justify"><br></p><p><br></p>
