Rhett Montgomery She was my best friend, and I loved her before I understood what that word really meant. I saw Jessie West for the amazing girl and woman she would become. My Wildflower dug in her roots and grew despite her surroundings. Then my world was shattered. Jessie was there for me, but she didn’t have the whole story. My secrets dragging me down, drowning me. They turned me into a shell of a man. Not good enough for my Wildflower. She broke my heart and ran away from me five years ago. I should have gone after her, but I didn’t. I missed her, like a limb was detached from my body. But, I didn’t have a choice. I had to keep going, even when I didn’t want to. So when she came back into town I hoped this was our second chance. A chance for us to mend and the truth to come out. And it would. But were our roots deep enough to weather the storm? Jessie West Rhett Montgomery was my best friend since we were kids that met on the playground. He saw me for everything that my parents didn’t. I was a girl surrounded by big brothers, and my job was to expand the dynasty. Nothing else mattered, according to my mother. I never wanted to be that girl. I was like a Wildflower, growing in the wrong garden. So I took matters into my own hands and I became one of the best ghostwriters for a world-renowned author. I figured that would show my family, and prove my worth. Then everything came crashing down and I ran, again. Little did I know I would run right back into his arms. My best friend. The boy now, a man I’ve loved my whole life and whose heart I didn’t know I broke five years ago. But little did he know, he broke mine too. Or maybe he did, and he just didn’t care.
