Summary
How do you make someone fall in love? No, that’s not right. Love was never the problem. How do you make someone trust you after all you’ve done to make it damn clear they can’t? Jewels, money, really very dangerous alien technology, you name it—he could steal without a second thought. It was easy. A cake walk, really. But the trust and affection of another human being? This was different. This, Gambit didn’t know how to steal. And it was keeping him up at night like a man possessed.
She didn’t trust him, and he could hardly even blame her—no one ever did. But he was craving Anna-Marie’s affection like a terrible, irresistible addiction, and he needed to prove to her just how madly in love with her he was. He thought it would be easy.
It wasn’t. Not even close. There was something wrong with this woman—and him, too, but he didn’t want to think about that part.
He loved her. Madly. She wouldn’t believe him. And the more he tried, the more he was beginning to understand that Rogue’s heart had been broken a long, long time ago. Maybe it’s been broken from the start. He needed to make her believe that she could be loved at all.
He didn’t know if he could. But he sure as hell was going to try.
