Now I''m heading to college, and it''s time to give love a clean slate again. But, can I really start over when he''s still in my life? Because the one man I''ve always wanted, and also the only guy I absolutely can''t haveâEuroÝ And he wants me just as fiercely. Can I settle for anything less than the love of my life?
