Abstract of the book "One Step Away from Happiness"
Just as my life was getting better, and my heart was finally being put back together in pieces, I met the man who had broken it so cruelly. It was because of him that I once swore I would never fall in love again. But fate doesn't like the word "never," so it made me choose to break my vow. A former first love? Or an arrogant, insufferable stubborn man who somehow decided that I should fall at his feet? The sequel to The Moment Before Love.
