Since Evelyn''s mother died, she''s been the glue holding her family together-more like the only person willing to stand her father''s crappy behavior until Will Denver, an old friend from before, shows up, hotter and richer. The first time she reconnects with the stunning cowboy, he''s protecting her from her abusive father. Their attraction to each other can only grow. But to what extent? Evelyn has an annoying commitment to preserving her family, even though it''s been torn apart. Plus, it''s not easy falling in love when there''s a careless father at the corner, who dabbles in deals with criminal gangs without so much as a second thought. When Evelyn gets dragged into a scuffle with one of the gangs, Will must make his choice. Will she still choose family over him or not?
Evelyn
If my life were a book, it''d probably be the ''worst seller'' in history. When my mother died, taking care of the family became my responsibility. But no one told me how much of a piece of work my father was, and slowly I got stuck between his abuse and is committed to holding together a crumbling family. My sisters leave, making my life that much more of a mess. But it all changes when I see Will Denver. He''s returned to town, and he''s come back even hotter and richer. Best of all, I think he''s got an eye on me. But if my family doesn''t come in between us first, then the gang my father has mysterious dealings with might.

Despite her dreams, things don''t get easier for Evelyn, even though she decided to abandon whatever feelings of responsibility she has toward her family, to love herself, and also allow the man she loves to love her. However, that love life is rocked when she learns that her father still owes the Hornet''s gang some money and that they''re after her now. As if that''s not enough, her father hints that her mother''s death might not have been an accident as they''d always thought. Now, more than ever, Will has to be there for the woman he loves. He must do everything possible to get her away from the trouble she''s found herself in, even though it means getting caught up in Evelyn''s entanglement with her father''s crime buddies. Getting entangled in her father''s mess only means he''s inviting trouble to himself. But Will''s too blinded by love to see that until it''s too late.
Evelyn
I''ve always wanted to fall in love with a man who truly loves me. Now, that''s happened with Will, but I can''t seem to enjoy it. When my father calls me to tell me the Hornets gang is still after me because he still owes them some money after Will helped him out, I''m mad, but that doesn''t compare to the devastation that follows when he tells me my mom''s death might not have been an accident after all. Despite all this, Will doesn''t leave my side for a second, proving he''s everything I''d ever wanted and more. Suddenly, my youngest sister returns home, and she couldn''t have picked a worse time. Now, I have to worry about a loved one getting caught up in my father''s mess. But I may have been worrying about the wrong loved one.
