Caged in Winter

<p>The last thing I need in my life is a Prince Charming in-training.</p><p> </p><p>I fought hard to escape the life I was born into and I've gotten where I am without anyone's help. I'm only seventy-six days away from college graduation not to mention the future I've dreamed of for so long. I don't need a hulking man covered in metal and ink to derail those plans no matter how enticing he is.</p><p> </p><p>But Cade Maxwell isn't deterred by the walls I've erected around my heart.</p><p> </p><p>He swoops into my life all brash exterior with a heart of gold strips away those walls as easily as he strips away my clothes and plants himself as if he's always been there. The only reason I give into this explosive chemistry between us is the fact that we don't have a future. He's white picket fences and Sunday mornings in bed. I'm nothing more than broken dreams and secrets.</p><p> </p><p>He swears he's not giving up. But I'm not giving in.</p>
