She's a soon to be single mother going through a divorce so naturally, she wanted to take things slow.Brittany had two daughters and Jack found himself falling in love with the girls as well as their mother. Jack could see a future with her and the kids and he was extremely happy, that is until New Years Eve when Brittany was killed by a drunk driver.Jack blamed himself for her untimely death because she was coming to be with him even though he didn't want her on the roads on that night.The girls (Delaney and Bailey, Brittney's daughters) father also blamed Jack and wouldn't allow him to be a part of their lives anymore, so not only did Jack lose Brit, but he also lost his only connection to her.Jack became depressed and was walking around in a fog so one day he decided to go to Atlantic City and play some Poker.Amanda was a young woman that has had a rough start in life. Amanda's mother was a alcoholic and a drug addict and didn't pay nearly as much attention to her daughter as she should have. Amanda's grandmother practically raised her until she died when Amanda was 12. After her grandmothers death, Amanda's mothers drinking and drugging got worse and Amanda often found herself alone for long periods of time. At 16, Amanda got a job in a bar so she could take care of herself because at this time, her mother was almost non-existent in her life.Later she enrolled in college and worked at a casino in order to make a living so she could one day leave Atlantic City behind for a better life.Jack sits at the poker table that Amanda is working and she is immediately attracted to him, but Jack is only interested in playing poker and not in flirting. Amanda finds this refreshing and soon they become friends until Amanda tries to take their friendship to the next level.Jack isn't at all ready for this and decides that he needs to return to his real life and not see Amanda anymore.Amanda decides that Jack isn't like any other guy that she as met and she doesn't want to give up on him, but is afraid that she may be too late!Man this book was refreshing!  I love to read about lost souls and this is a really good book. I am glad that I read it!
