I couldn’t wipe the smile from my face. I was the happiest man on the planet.
I’d finally won my girl and she’d won me.
The song finished and I cupped the back of her head, forcing her to kiss me. She melted against my mouth with a sweet moan. Pulling back, I looked her in the eye and with a slow smile, whispered, “Okay, I’ll buy you a ring.”

To him, she was perfect. But she loved another, and so he had to watch in aching silence as his best friend, Jimmy, fell in love with the only girl who’d ever mattered.
But there is another…
A Sloan sister is on her way with an unwanted message that will rock Nessa’s world and split the band apart. Sides will form and for the first time, Ralphie will find himself opposing his little Nester and standing up for a girl who might have the power to win his heart.
