Take Two

Summary

Charlie

I'm far from perfect. I've made mistakes. And every day I wake up and make a promise to myself. A promise to stay on the right path and not let my past take hold.

Relationships are risky for someone not in recovery. For a guy like me, it could not only be dangerous, but it could compromise all the work I've done to stay clean. At least that's what my family thinks. But Violet adds a purpose to my life that I didn't even realize I was missing.

Violet

He's got "flaws." He says he's done unforgivable things, but something in his deep brown eyes says there's so much more to him than the mistakes he's made in the past. Besides, I have flaws too, so who am I to judge? Being imperfect is one of the many things Charlie and I have in common, and soon, two flawed people form an unlikely and unexpected bond.

It doesn't take long before I find myself falling for the out of towner and all too soon, he's got to head back home. Can our relationship endure the long distance, especially when events from his past threaten our future?

Contains mature themes.
