There was only one thing in life I’d ever wanted, and I was determined now, more than ever, to make that Big Willy mine. Mature audience only. 18+

In a quick turnaround trip to help his older sister Kari move to Maine after heartbreak, Marc meets the woman that just might be his match.

He is young and free, handsome and ready to set the world on fire, and finds that he is justified in breaking hearts everywhere he goes. Besides, love is a game played by many and truly won by few.
