He loves her and knows she deserves better than him, and nothing proves that like the ornate wedding he finds himself a part of in an Irish castle. Hampered by his family and best friend, Mike has nothing to lose but her.Emotional and literary, experience the prequel to the Walker Family Series and the love that started it all.
