Quote from Suzanne Brockmann's "Force of Nature"
So I read the following paras and all I could think afterwards was: wish I had known this years ago.
"There were some people ... that you could never let your guard down when you were around. They were dangerous, not merely because of that intense physical attraction, but because you loved them, even though it was crazy to. It was a shame, really, that you couldn't just decide to love one person, and decide to not love someone else. But love didn't know from crazy - it just happened, and the first thing you had to do was to be honest about it, at least to yourself.
And then you had to stay far away from that dangerous person, and not fool yourself into thinking you could ever have any kind of casual, temporary fling with them. It couldn't ever just be about sex - the crazy thing would be in thinking that sex would be enough.
It could never be casual, and it would always end in heartbreak. In a way, it was a gift - the kind of connection that everyone longed to find. But it was far more valuable when the person with whom you had that connection could also bring you joy."
If you haven't read anything by Suzanne Brockmann, don't walk, don't run, sprint! to your nearest bookstore/library and check out her Navy Seals series of thriller/military/romance.
