Keeping Him Close (Hudson Boys #3): Adley & Rory

We shouldn’t let our past define us. Especially when the events are out of our control.
We should learn from those mistakes and choose to do things differently.
We should strive for better.
Build a foundation that makes us proud.

Those are all things that are easier said than done.

I’m a fine example of one that allows the hardships and struggles of my past direct me in my future.

Hating Rory has always been easy. Well, easy to fake, because what I truly feel for him, it terrifies me.
He is a man I could fall for.
He is a man that could give me everything I didn’t even know I wanted.
He is the man that each and every time I am near, I feel my walls slowly start to crumble.

But giving in to those feelings could destroy everything I’ve struggled to control.
Loving him means that I have to go against every single rule I have ever set for myself.

But hating him, that is the hardest challenge of all.
