Gina

It's been seven years since the love of her life betrayed her, and Gina still can't trust her heart to another man. Her family's attorney, Matt Larson, is in love with her, but he knows that she still isn't ready for a commitment, so he guards his emotions carefully-until Gina tries to fix him up with her best friend! Stunned by the absurdity of the situation, he decides to let her latest brainstorm simply run its course.

His plan completely falls to pieces when Hurricane Sandy comes ashore and devastates his Lower Manhattan neighborhood. Surrounded by so much tragedy, lives lost, homes destroyed, hopes and dreams shattered, Matt promises himself that he will not go on indefinitely hoping for Gina's heart to heal. Either he breaches the wall she's built around her emotions, and soon, or he walks out of her life forever. In the end, it's a choice that an assailant's knife makes for him.
