You all are incredible! Thanks for all the votes and reviews! For those of you who have seen both, do you like the original cover better or this one?
CALEB “Caleb, you can’t be here!” Lorna hissed, and I wrinkled my nose as she pushed her short hair over her shoulder. It felt right back over her ear, the ends of it not even touching her collarbone. It seemed to get shorter each time I saw her, and I hated it. She knew I despised short hair, yet
BAILEE I pulled on the sleeve of my shirt as I got out of the car. Security surrounded me as cameras flashed, and I pulled Brinley onto my hip, trying my best to hide my grimace of pain. Alex’s driver remained in the front seat at my insistence, but our guards had still opened the door for us and
BAILEE "Get out of my way!" I shouted, pushing past Keller. "Brinley!" My voice cracked as my fear consumed me. White noise buzzed in my head, drowning out the sound of Keller calling me back. A hand wrapped around my arm, but I dug my nails into it as I ripped it off. "BRINLEY!" I screamed,
CALEB “Daddy!” Brinley screamed when she saw me sitting in the car. I wanted to throttle Nathan when I saw how tightly he had been grabbing her arm as he hoisted her into the car. He had barely closed the door when my driver, Nathan’s brother, Seth, took off. “Easy, cousin. You wouldn’t want
Caleb “The fuck did you say to me?” I snapped loudly, wanting to be heard over Brinley’s obnoxious sobbing. It was too much, putting me on edge before Nathan had even started running his mouth. I almost wished I could call Kingston and ask him what he had done to make Nathan obedient and quiet wh
BAILEE Ben's arms tightened around me as I watched Alex speak into the phone. Both men were furious, but after they witnessed the police threaten to arrest me when I cornered their captain, they kept their calm. Only once did I see him wince and grab his leg when he first arrived, but he recovere
ALEXANDER “We have people in the area already. They will keep an eye out for anything suspicious.” Captain Cole said, and I lifted my wrist to glance at my watch. “We will have more coming in later to avoid it looking unusual.” It wasn’t even two. “Wouldn’t he have already set his trap?” I asked,
BAILEE My foot was tapping as I sat in the van, watching the cameras as Alex approached the South Side Bridge. It wasn’t really a bridge. It was more a small walking path that went over the small pond that the city had added. They had hoped it would bring a place of peace and beauty to an otherwis
EPILOGUE “Go, go, go!” Sebastian screamed from next to me, standing and leaning over the person in front of him as if Ben could hear him over the crowd and the glass. Then again, with how loud the man was, he just might. I had only known Bash in passing from when I worked for Ben as his assista
HAVEN ONE MONTH LATER My eyes kept moving from the woman before me to the clock on the wall behind her. I wanted to be here, but I had more important places to be. She had run over with her last client, which made us run over and caused me to be late for an important game. Ben had been stressin
BEN Haven was empty for the next few weeks as she flew back and forth, cleaning out the house her ex-husband had left her. It had been Cynthia’s home, too, and Haven had been taking extra care and devotion to ensuring things were handled and gone through properly. I had gone with her a few times,
HAVEN Her hand was cold, and I adjusted her blanket to cover her arm. The lawyers had come in and refused to admit any fault of the hospital, even though Cynthia had her ID on her and even knew one of the paramedics who brought her in for them to have given the hospital her name. They should ha
HAVEN Sitting in the airport in the middle of the night with a toddler who got angry each time the loudspeaker called for another flight and disturbed her sleep was not what I had been prepared for. My mind was a foggy mess. All I could picture was Cynthia falling down the stairs. How long had sh
BEN Being excited about an ex getting involved in my life might not have been the best thing when things were already tense, but fuck did it feel good to know I did indeed have friends in high places and they were watching my back. Was I still expecting them to hold it over me and try to get me t
BEN It was odd pulling up to the house and finding there wasn’t a single paparazzi in sight. After today’s news, I expected them to be ready to break down my gate for a story, but no one was there. Instead, a blacked-out SUV sat across the street, and my stomach twisted when I realized it was pro
HAVEN I needed to get out of the house. Staying inside was driving me crazy, and I couldn’t take it anymore. My last job interview was a week ago, and while I keep applying, no one wants to hire the woman all over the tabloids with a sex tape. Our PR team managed to get it taken down, but it stil
BEN “Rangers player Benjamin Evans is today’s hot topic. Now fans were petitioning for him to be traded for his performance last season. Even I wanted him gone, and I’ve followed his career since he was being scouted.” The reporters around him laughed, and I gritted my jaw. “I know. I remember hi
