Some souls are intended for more than one great love, for tragedy. I’m one of those souls.

I saw Tate first. It was hard not to, with his boy-man muscles and shaggy hair. But I fell in love with Holt. You could say it was Holt’s charming smile that won me over. Or maybe it was simply the easy confidence with which he knew I was his, and he was mine.

Our love was a thing of youth. It was rich with foolish hopes and big dreams. It was fast, and hot, and innocent.
Holt was supposed to be my forever. But life isn’t always so simple.
Sometimes we’re forced to face hard choices. My hard choice came in the form of two pink lines not long after Holt was drafted to play pro hockey—his dream.
Suddenly, my dream looked different. It looked like family in this little mountain town, not fame and fortune under the big city spotlights. And it looked like Tate…

But that’s the thing about life. The picture is always changing, shifting.
I’d been someone’s future—a mother and a wife. Now, over a decade later, I am a widow.
Holt has returned to help with the family business, and I’m stuck working under him. Stuck facing all the feelings I thought I put to rest. Stuck facing the life I sacrificed for the dreams of the boy I loved. Stuck under the suffocating weight of my guilt, and the secrets I’ve kept.

Now, I’m forced to face the fact that maybe I was always meant to love two men. Two brothers.
