Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: August 21, 2017
Length: 235 pages
She's waited a lifetime. Can she stop him from wasting one?
Vaughn
Jenkins is the youngest in a long line of proud men. But he was only seventeen
when his parents were killed during a storm on a California highway. Seven
years later, another stormy night nearly took Vaughn's life. Now he's half a
leg lighter, full of shame and doubt, and taking it out on everyone around him,
even the woman he's loved most of his life.
T.J.
Brisco is the girl next door. She and Vaughn grew up together, inseparable
friends, then high school sweethearts. But when tragedy strikes, Vaughn
retreats, and this time is no different. She's determined to help him recover
from his devastating amputation, but Vaughn's not going to make it easy. When
his anger becomes too much for T.J.'s shattered heart, she decides their story
is over for good.
Now
Vaughn is faced with the rest of his life—as an amputee, as a brother, as a man—and
as T.J. moves on, Vaughn falls farther and farther behind. Can he learn to run
fast enough to catch up to the only woman he'll ever love? Or will his pride
stand in their way forever?
Excerpt
Which was why he
knocked right into something, eliciting a squeak that jolted him out of his
hyperfocused state. His hands shot out in reflex, and he caught whatever—whoever—it
was as they stumbled. The other person’s weight pulled him off-balance, and he
was forced to take another step, planting his good leg to keep upright. The
extra step meant that his victim was now virtually under him, bent back in a
slight dip as he held what was definitely a her.
His gaze moved up from a set of perfect breasts snug in stretchy
azure fabric with a deep V in the front, and on to a neck that was smooth and
slim. And then he reached the face, that face, the face that
haunted him day in and day out, even when he wanted nothing more than to be
free of it.
“Sorry,” he murmured as they stayed frozen in their embrace,
T.J.’s big brown eyes blinking at him. But then his gaze dropped, against his
will, to her breasts again, and he jerked both him and T.J. upright, setting
her away as much as he could in the middle of the tables, stools, and people.
T.J. cleared her throat and smoothed her tight, short dress.
Vaughn was caught speechless at the vision of his wholesome, lifelong best
friend wearing something that looked like it belonged in a Los Angeles
nightclub. The brilliant shade of blue contrasted with her black hair and
golden skin, making her glow like some sort of goddess.
Fuck, she was beautiful.
