A Love Unfaltering by Summer Rose

He’s head over heels, and no amount of history can sway his judgment. He wants her, but she doesn’t even realize the veracity of his love… at least, not yet.

Jared:
Her jade eyes burn a hole into my soul. There’s a certain calmness that envelops me when Amy is around. I’ve missed this.
Since we were kids, my heart has always been set on her. A burning passion blazes inside, deeper than the crimson in her hair… and no girl has ever come close to making me feel the way Amy has.
But, she can’t know. At least not yet, as I am not the man she deserves. My youthful follies with women still haunts me to this day. I can see the distrust in her eyes even though she’s quite fond of me.
I’ll find my way around her walls eventually. I just have to figure out how.

Amy:
Jared has changed since the last time I saw him. He’s warmer, kinder. Even more irresistible. As children, he always had a way of conjuring butterflies in my stomach out of nowhere.
The problem is that he has a bad habit of breaking women’s hearts. While my skin secretly yearns for his touch, I can’t put myself through that. Jared will forever be just a friend. I don’t care if he flashes me that gut-wrenching smile. Or if he squints those smoldering blue eyes in a way that makes my toes curl.
I just can’t. I… oh, no. I’m not even sure if I’m strong enough.
Now that we’re older, a lot of things have happened that caused me to rethink my stand on this self-imposed “No Jared” rule. There’s just something different about him and it’s making me feel… vulnerable.

Is this even a good idea?
