Rune's existence has been nothing but a series of unfortunate events, from being born into a drug-addled family to her only true ally being snatched away too soon by sickness. Things go from bad to worse when Rune's ex resurfaces, threatening her self-made family, and her career prospects take a sudden plunge with her job's new bosses. Micah and Shane appear amidst the chaos, their opposing personalities each tempting Rune in unexpected ways, but false assumptions, pride, and others' poor decisions threaten more than just her own happily ever after. Will Rune be able to overcome the obstacles preventing her from becoming who she was truly meant to be, or will she find her life in ruins at the end of the day? Please Note: This is a MFM romance, but there are no MM scenes.

Prologue: Taking Out the Trash

Rune My heart thundered away in my chest as I angrily strode around my living room, picking up the discarded clothes, dirty dishes, and trash that my shitty boyfriend had left lying around after his night of binging. I’d already tackled the mess in the kitchen, but the relatively clean surfaces left behind did little to assuage the turmoil churning inside me as it normally would when at least some of the clutter was removed from the common areas of my house. I rarely had time to thoroughly clean my home like I really wanted with two kids living here, but I’d been wondering more and more as of late whether I should go ahead and add Damien to the list of children as well with the way he was acting. He still wasn’t back from wherever the hell he’d taken off to, and my ire was only increasing by the minute, threatening to boil over the longer he was gone. I didn’t know where he was, but I did know that he had swiped my debit card out of my purse. Several text messages and declined cal...

I know I just disappeared. Life got in the way. I'm re-editing what I've written now, and then I'm finishing this book out by the end of the year. I will upload consistently when I start adding new material.

Dancing with Temptation
Rune About A Month Later Rubbing my hands over my temples, I tried to block out the din surrounding me, the strobing lights hurting my eyes, but I’d promised my friend I would come out tonight while the kids were at their sleepovers for the weekend. The nightclub, Verve, had different colored strobe lights to complement the loud music, and thrashing bodies filled the dancefloor to the brim, all moving to the hypnotic beat that was pumping through the numerous speakers that I’d seen spaced strategically around the large open area. Sliding down from the bar stool as I kept a hand at the hem of my dress, worried about the too-short skirt riding up any further, I was regretting my moment of weakness de novo. I was feeling self-conscious with the clothes I’d let my friend pick out for me, trusting her to dress me appropriately for the unfamiliar venue, and the makeup wasn’t helping anything either, the bold colors making me stand out when I would much rather blend in with my surroundin

Take Two
Rune Pushing my shoulder-length blonde locks back behind my ear, I glanced over at the male who’d sauntered up. He didn’t hesitate, introducing himself as soon as he was within hearing distance as he announced, “I’m Micah, sweetheart. Tell me your name.” His chocolate-brown orbs snared my own silvery-colored ones, making me want to answer his demand in a hurry, but I bristled at the command instead, refusing to comply. I turned away from his incredibly toned physique, noticing how expensive his clothes looked before I’d started ignoring him, but that didn’t make a difference to me. Taking another long drink of my Coke, I jumped a little as my phone notified me that my ride had arrived. My face turned pink as he handed me a few napkins to clean the spill up with, and I softened my tone resultingly when I said, “Well, Micah, it’s been nice talking to you, but I’m out of here.” I shimmied off the stool, by some miracle managing to not embarrass myself in the process, and I rotated

The Morning After
Rune Groaning, I went to roll over as I felt the ache emanating from my muscles, but I ran smack dab into a smooth chest sprinkled with course hair that pointed downward, finding a very naked male lying beside me as my hands explored the contours of his defined pectorals and abs of their own accord. It took me a minute to grasp that I wasn’t in my own bed, that I wasn’t lying next to Damien as I had for so long. It’d been months since anyone other than the kids had slept beside me, but it was difficult forgetting about the years I’d had my ex by my side. I’d begun getting used to sleeping alone at night for the most part, but that didn’t mean I liked it any better than I had over the months when I’d been given no choice in the matter due to my ex’s poor decisions. The absolute extravagance of this bed, and the powerful arms that were locked around me brought back flashes of what we’d been up to late into the night, or maybe even into the early morning, a thrill of heat trickling

A Familiar Face
Rune I was running late Monday morning as I pushed one of the double glass doors to the office open with my body, and I was trying to concurrently juggle my cup of coffee and all my work supplies, failing spectacularly in the process I might add. Admittedly, I wasn’t the most coordinated at the best of times, so it was a risky move on my part, but I couldn’t sacrifice my morning dose of caffeine, any more of it that hadn’t sloshed out onto the ground at any rate. Bringing the cup up to my mouth, I took a few large gulps so that the liquid wasn’t in danger of splashing out again, and I shot Sara a grateful smile when she’d offered to wipe up the spill for me. She was an angel, always cleaning up after me when I was in a rush, which was practically all the time, and I decided it would be fun for the kids and I to bake her some cookies before I came in on Wednesday. I hurried through the hall as I recounted the events of the morning, well aware there weren’t many days that I wasn’t f

A Rude Awakening
Micah Going to the nightclub this past weekend hadn’t been anywhere on my list of enjoyable ways to pass an evening, but Shane had insisted. He’d wanted to celebrate our move back home, us taking over the company from my dad, but then his sorry ass had ditched me. Howbeit, it’d turned out to be a blessing in disguise because my night had ended with a drop-dead gorgeous woman in my bed, the same knockout who was presently fleeing from the room like a bat out of hell as it so happened, just as she’d absconded from my bed the last time that we’d been together. “Micah?” My dad’s inquisitive voice drew my notice, and I tore my eyes away from Rune’s backside as I met his amused expression. Yeah, I knew her name but only because Shane had laid eyes on her first, something that ticked me off more than it should. I felt smug as fuck about the fact that I’d been the one to bring her home at the end of the night, but I was also pissed she’d run out the way she had. I wasn’t usually Mr. Relat

An Understanding
Micah A while later, my stomach rumbled hungrily, alerting me to how much time had passed since I’d last eaten, and I stole a glance at the ancient clock my dad had left hanging on the wall above the doorway. I was mad all over again at the woman who’d invaded my mind, and I knew deep down the only reason I’d stayed so late putting together my new office space was because I was hoping to catch a glimpse of her, as stupid as that sounded. Shutting down my computer, I gathered my belongings, slinging my suit jacket over my arm as I closed and locked the door behind me. What's more, it was the same one Rune had worn briefly Friday night. It was after six by this point, and there wasn’t a soul present as I strode through the entirety of the fifth floor before reaching the double glass doors at the entrance. I’d debated stopping in to check out Rune’s workspace, having learned which desk was hers when my father had given me a thorough tour, but I knew that would be overstepping my boun

Confrontations
Rune Trepidation threatened to consume me whole as I stepped into the elevator Wednesday morning, clutching a tin of homemade cookies in one hand while reaching out to press the button for the fifth floor as I cradled my coffee against my chest. The divine fragrance of sugar and chocolate was making my mouth water, but I took another sip of my drink in an effort to suppress my appetite. I’d eaten more than enough cookies yesterday while the kids had made a mess of the kitchen baking them, and I couldn’t eat anything regardless with the nerves coursing through me. My phone had been radio silent since this weekend, no more texts or calls coming in from Micah or Shane as I’d expected after my near run-in, but I was more worried about the silence from Micah after locking eyes with him on my way out of work previously. There wasn’t a doubt in my mind that he’d recognized me Monday afternoon, and I’d been anticipating how he would react ever since then. Almost two days had passed by now

Rash Decisions
Rune I hadn’t stopped to think about what my rash decision would cost me, the sensations pouring through me too intense to concentrate on the consequences in the moment. Mercifully, I didn’t have anything personal at my desk with how little time I spent in the office, and I marched straight for the elevator without a backward glance. I stayed focused on putting one foot in front of the other, knowing I would probably break down if I paused for even a second. In the back of my mind, I took note of Sara seated at the reception desk as I passed by on my way out. She’d started to thank me for the cookies, but then she’d seen the fire in my eyes no doubt, immediately leaping to her feet in order to intercept me on the way to the elevator. I jammed the button down repeatedly, my vexation only intensifying by the second, and I knew my anger was the only thing keeping the tears at bay. Normally, I would appreciate Sara’s efforts, but I didn’t want to talk to anyone right now. Not to menti

Confessions
Shane I’d known Rune was employed at the fashion magazine publication that Micah’s family owned, and I knew it was only a matter of time until we came face to face once more. I’d been looking forward to running into her in passing, but our meeting now wasn’t exactly what I’d imagined. It’d taken me a long minute to realize that she’d been crying, my excitement getting the better of me, but I didn’t push her to tell me what’d happened. Instead, I kept talking, trying to make her feel comfortable as I drove her to her destination, but I had every intention of seeking Micah out when I returned to the office, feeling positive that he’d had something to do with her downtrodden state. I wasn’t pleased with the idea of leaving her at the neglected rec center she’d requested I take her to, but I got the sense of just how important the place was to her, so I didn’t object as she’d jumped out of the car, not that I was sure I would be able to stop her with her mind made up. However, I did m
