But Bliss made it clear from the start: this is temporary. No strings, no future. She's got her life in this small town, and I've got my shot at the big leagues waiting. The problem? I'm falling for her. Hard. Bliss After escaping an emotionally abusive ex who tried to control every part of my life, I swore I'd never give another man that kind of power over me.
