Two loves. Two destinies. Two heartbreaks. And just one Abby Dan.

Just days into a college apartment hunting trip in Santa Barbara, California, with her best friend, Sara, Abby Dan meets two very wonderful, very different men who happen to be best friends. Devin Saxon is handsome, thoughtful, charming, and sexy. Alec Ahote is sweet, caring, and intuitive; it feels as if Abby has known him for much longer than just a few days. Alec touches a part of her soul she thought had gone dormant.

But Abby, who has faced tremendous personal loss in her life and has the ugly scars to prove it, knows she can have only one of them. Her recurring dreams, a constant since the accident seven years ago that claimed her mother’s life, have become more intense. Abby discovers that things are never what they seem, especially when they involve love. A shocking discovery challenges everything she thought she knew and forces her to make the hardest decision of all. Abby must choose between the love of her life and the man of her dreams.

I could feel eyes on me again. Over the years, when I found anyone starting at me, it was just to check out my nine-inch, crescent shaped scar. Though I was still very aware and self-conscious about how it looked, it was something I had grown accustomed to. It wasn’t as pink as it used to be and was almost the same color as the rest of my face. But Devin wasn’t looking at my scar; he was trying to catch my eye.

I thought I’d feel intimidated, but refused to be. I looked up to meet his eyes. Devin was not looking at my scar but back down into my eyes. This shocked me, and I couldn’t look away.

“I’m Abigail Dan,” I heard a voice that sounded suspiciously like mine say.

Devin smiled, and the air left my lungs as he extended his hand toward me. “Nice to meet you, Abigail Dan.” His hand dwarfed mine as I shook it. I waited for that electric feeling I had heard friends describe when they met “the one,” but I just felt the warmth in his hand. How long could I justify a handshake?
