Love. We throw it around so casually. We throw it around without understanding the true meaning. We hide it because we are taught to protect it. That's what Callan Duncan had been taught by both his grandfather and father. Love was not just an emotion shared by two people, but love was a verb.

Callan couldn't believe in one day, Nova Cross had turned his routine and life upside down. Nova was not just keeping a secret; she was keeping her secret well hidden.

The attraction was there. The emotion had been set into play when Nova had walked into the restaurant.

How would Callan convince Nova that love could happen between them? How could he convince her that the old saying "love is a gamble" was only meant for the betting window and not her.

Would Nova give him what he needed - time?
