Book Description:
I had the perfect
life.
Beautiful and loving
husband.
Three gorgeous little
girls.
Successful
career.
The only thing
missing was the white picket fence.
I really wanted that fence.
Three years ago, I
lost that life. I lost my
husband. And I lost myself. But, eventually, I found my way through
the darkness. I’ve made peace with
my new life. I have my girls, and that’s all that matters. They are my
world. I have no illusions of ever
falling in love again or getting whisked away on a white horse.
But then he came back into my life. On a freakin’
motorcycle.
There’s no way I’ll
let him turn my life completely upside down. Absolutely no
way.
The question is…
How long can I keep
pretending that I’m happy with my life being right-side up?
Book Excerpt 1: ...
I turn my hand over
and stroke his cheek. He puts his
head down and I force him to look at me again.
“Shh, Blake. That’s enough. I don’t want to hear any of that right
now. Derek’s death was tragic. It was heartbreaking. It was too much for me some days. But you listen to me. There is nothing you could have done if
you were here that would have protected me from that pain. You need to know that. You need to believe that. I’m not
going to waste time rehashing this crap, especially now that I finally have you
back in my life. It happened. It’s over. I’m fine. End
of story. I refuse to listen to
you tear yourself up over something you had no control over.”
He says nothing
more. He just grabs my wrist and
pulls my body into his, being careful not to hurt my hand. He rests his cheek on top of mine and
whispers solemnly into my ear, “Never again, Alex. Never. Again.”
He leaves his cheek
against mine and I feel his breath in my ear. He wraps his big arms around me and we stay like that
for some time. The warmth from the
closeness of our bodies and the heat of his breath in my ear cause my heart
rate to triple. Yet, with my heart
beating a million miles a minute, I feel a strange calm. I want to let go of everything. I want to sink my body into his and let
him be strong for me. I want to
let him take my pain, my sadness, my exhaustion…everything that keeps me from
being truly happy. I want
his arms to stay around me… his warmth and protection. But as a familiar lump forms in
my throat, I know this will never happen.
I can’t allow it.
I won’t allow it.
Blake is more right
than he could possibly know.
Never. Again
