Elizabeth Wakefield never planned on straying from her longtime boyfriend, Todd Wilkins. But then, she'd never met anyone like Devon Whitelaw. Not only is Devon devastatingly sexy, he's also brilliant - and impossible for Elizabeth to resist. Elizabeth tries to break up with Todd gently, but the more she pushes him away, the tighter he clings. Can Elizabeth make Todd understand that she no longer loves him . . . without breaking his heart?
Todd's going insane with jealousy. Why would Elizabeth pick that arrogant jerk Devon over him? Todd needs to prove how much he loves Elizabeth - quick. And he's not got the perfect plan - he'll ask her to marry him! If that doesn't work, Todd will have only one option left to make Devon Whitelaw go away . . .

"I'm the one who's had enough," Todd shouted. "If you knew what was good for you, you'd go away - far away. You'd leave town just the way you came."
Devon crossed his arms over his chest. "Is that threat?" he asked quietly.
"Yes," Todd answered, taking a few menacing steps forward. "It is."
Devon shoved him on the chest. "I've told you before, Wilkins, nobody threatens me," he said.
Todd shoved him back. "Well, there's always a first time," he retorted.
Devon pushed Todd hard, and he slammed into the table. There was the sound of shattering glass and Todd whirled around, his fists clenched. Todd gave Devon a sharp hook to the jaw, and Devon responded by punching him in the gut. Todd recoiled, wrapping his arms around his stomach. Gritting his teeth, he flew full force at Devon.
A crowd of students had gathered around to watch. "Fight! Fight! Fight!" they chanted.
Elizabeth grabbed her head with her hands, feeling as if she were caught in some horrible nightmare. "Somebody stop them!" she cried.

Now that she's seen Todd's and Devon's true colors, is Elizabeth through with love for good? #140: Please Forgive Me
