NickI'm fourteen years her senior and she's my kid's best friend.Everything about us is forbidden and wrong, but the closer we became and the more time we spent together, I knew I wouldn't be able to walk away. Holly was like a force of nature, and I didn't stand a chance. Falling for her was inevitable.When an accident leaves her in an induced coma, fighting for her life, I knew she was where I belonged and I'd fight heaven and hell to keep her by my side.Now, almost a year later, we've defeated the odds and we're stronger than ever. Or so I thought.We've been following the natural progression of our relationship, but when it's time for us to take the next step, Holly's hesitant and I don't know why.All I know is, she's my forever, but am I hers? HollyNick's my forever. I knew that the second I laid eyes on him, and the months we've been together have only solidified that.My worry is Gabby, Nick's daughter. She's my best friend--my only friend--and I don't want to lose her. But I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place, because I don't want to lose Nick either. We want to move forward with our relationship, but her disapproval of our being together has put a dampener on my happiness. That isn't fair to Nick. I want to give him everything, but holding back isn't what he deserves.All I want is my friend's blessing, but I won't risk losing the man I love in the process. Something's got to give.
