While his brother, William is a disciplined, well-mannered man who completes his education and becomes a doctor, Jonathan moves from one disaster to another. When readers meet him, he loses his mother’s car, steals a new car, and gets himself arrested. But his sister-in-law, Catherine is about to rock his life. While they have opposing character traits, going outside for a smoke creates a strong connection between the two. With the connection growing stronger every day, can they stop themselves and remember that Catherine belongs to someone else? Can Jonathan get any better?
