If He Loves Me

'If he loves me... it will have to be unconditionally. Even those unlovable parts of me that the newness of us has made him too blind to see.' - Cassie Cassie Armstrong is beautiful, creative and one of the most free-spirited people you'd ever meet. With dreams of becoming an internationally known fashion designer, Cassie is able to see the beauty in everything and everyone... except herself. Matteo Tate has been a fighter all of his life. A protector all of his life. When he meets Cassie, the warrior instinct that he was born with goes into overdrive. He realizes with time that Cassie is a princess who is unaware of her need to be saved. Matteo is stuck with two choices - remove himself from her life to avoid watching her spiral out of control, or risk hurting his own heart to save hers. Two men. Two vastly different displays of love. One of which isn't love at all. But which one? Cassie is unsure. All she can do is pray that she chooses correctly because both her heart and her life will depend on it. *Please note: This is a spinoff from 'Coffee with a side of You'.
