Ex-cop Kasper "Gutter Mouth" Guttenmuth has always been a playboy. Love was a four-letter word. He learned that lesson as he watched his father run around on his mom before she died. Until he fell hard for the wrong woman - his best friend's baby sister. Krysta Sokolofski has been in love with the same man since she was a teenager. For a brief time, he held more than her heart in his hands. Until he pushed her away. A dirty secret he wanted distance from. It took her years to move on. They've hidden their brief affair from everyone for six years. Watching the woman he still loves disappear inside a white van, he knows he needs to come clean. Not only with her brother, but with himself as well. Kasper's ready to beg if he must. For forgiveness. For a second chance. He won't give up until he can make her his. First... he needs to find her.
