I was once told that the woman you have to work the hardest for would be the one worth working for by far_and Taylor Mathews has turned the expression into a mantra for me. Here I am, Maclain Stone, centering my very existence on the woman. She_s quickly become my obsession, and my reason for trying to be a better human_though trust me when I say that may never happen.But I_m going to try. For her. The fight_ But fate may have the last laugh. Years of living in the fast lane, literally and figuratively, are catching up with me as I fight to downshift into a lower gear and win the right to commit to this incredible woman who has tumbled into my life. The favor_ I_m ready for the change, but is she? So far, she_s rejected every offer I_ve made, and shut every door in my face. If she won_t admit her feelings to herself, how can she commit to me?
