Bella Swan changed her life and ideals for a guy . . . who then dumped her in the middle of a mall. Even if she's happier now and her life is back on track, she still needs to realize that the past is the past.

Enter Edward Cullen, devastatingly handsome and hopelessly in love with Bella after knowing her for only a short time. Can he prove to Bella that she's not the type who should be loved and left? Can he help her get over her past and put her self doubts behind her?

 Rated M for later chapters.

Both damaged, Edward and Bella meet and the chemistry is instantaneous.  Will she still love him when she discovers that he is the criminal defense attorney that got her rapist acquitted just two days before her attack?  Can he forgive himself enough to give her justice?

I wanted his hands on me, on every part of my body. I wanted to feel him pressed up against me, his skin touching mine. I wanted our passionate kisses to escalate until I was panting and trembling, on the precipice until I was begging for more. And yet, it still wouldn't be enough to squelch the desire I felt for him in that small space of time. 

I didn't know what was worse: waiting on the edge of oblivion or the sense of it never being enough...
