Gah!!! You think you won't be torn? You're wrong!! This book gutted me in more ways than one! Absolutely LOVED Sully when he had parts in TAT series and was SO stoked he was getting his own book! Reader beware: your heart will need some time to heal after this!<br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />5 Stars<br /><br />I have been in such a book funk for the
past couple of months, every time I picked up a book I couldn't get
into it. Well I came across this book on a whim. I have never read
anything from this author but decided to check it out. Lets just say
the way Meagan writes captures your attention and sucks you in from
the very beginning. This book was absolutely phenomenal! I am so
excited to see what else this author has in store.

<i>Life is a series of moments.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Like making my first million—it was amazing, but nothing compared to the moment I saw Emery.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>She was the one…the game changer.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>The long-time, self-pronounced bachelor was ready to give it all away with one look, and luckily, she felt the same.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>We fell in love despite the haters and laughed at the nay-sayers who swore we would never work.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>It didn’t matter to us that we were from different worlds. </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>We loved each other and the life we had planned. It was perfect.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Until they took her away from me.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>The moment I saw her life leave her eyes, I became something she would never recognize.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Revenge colored my world, and nothing would make me happy until I filled the hole Emery left behind.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Years of searching, of fighting against those who wronged me and punishing others who never deserved my wrath led me to Willow Summer’s door. </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Something shifted, leaving me to wonder if I’d release her from her pain, or if she’d release me from mine.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Love created a monster, and maybe now, love can set him free.</i></div>

K.L. Myers was born in West Berlin, Germany while her father was stationed there. She spent her childhood moving from continent to continent finally landing permanently in Colorado when her father retired. Eventually, K.L. moved to "hell", aka Arizona where she resides with her husband & their fur babies. She has 2 grown daughters & 3 grandchildren.<br />
<br />
KL has a passion for reading and writing hot romance when she isn't juggling family & a full-time job.<br />
<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span><br />
Her books & novellas show a pension for a bad boy with a heart of gold. Coupling her bad boys with strong, independent women who don't need rescuing, and just maybe a taste of naughty redemption! Her characters will pull you in & leave you satiated, yet panting for more, More, MORE!</div>

<br />
From a young age Renee Dyer had a love of writing, starting with a doodle pad at age four that soon turned into journals and later computer documents. Poetry became short stories and short stories became a novel.<br />
Although she's surrounded by males all day having three sons, a husband and a hyperactive chocolate lab, she still finds time to be all woman when she escapes into the fantasy of reading and writing romance. That is, until she needs male perspective and garners eye rolling from her husband.<br />
She's a true New Englander. You'll find her screaming profanity at her TV while the Pats play and cuddling under blankets during the cold seasons (which is most of them) reading a good book. To her snow is not a reason to shut things down, only a reason to slow down and admire the beauty. Ask her questions and she'll answer them. She's an open book, pun fully intended.<br />

Now, I'm onto the next one in hopes that there is some closure! </span></span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: start;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: start;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: start;">5 stars!</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Epic. Gut-wrenching. Sorrow. Love. Bonds. Trust.</span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">All these words come into play when I read this book! I had absolutely no idea what I was getting into when I started reading, but this for sure is at the top of my list of favorite books.</span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Have you ever wanted to throat punch a character, even tho it's a fictional one? Well that was me! I wanted to jump into the book and kick the one guys butt!! I seriously was so mad at him! Ugh. The heroine gave me the feels. Bad. I felt for her on so many levels. Then when someone else entered the story, I fell in love. Like the " I want to have your babies" type of love. He wasn't only trying to help in more ways than one, but he was caring and attentive and oh man, you have got to read this to know what I'm talking about!!!!</span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">This book is top priority and a must read! I'm a huge Ashley Beale fan and I swear every time I read her work, I wanna tackle hug her! One of the best I've read by her!!!</span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;" /><br /><br />5 out of 5 stars!<br style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">**Copy was provided by author**</span></span>AJ's Book Reviewshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05023961820887144406noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4414675663850581581.post-32405656188472930202015-09-17T06:45:00.001-07:002015-09-17T06:45:12.770-07:00**Review** Love, Untamed by Ra'chael Ohara<img src="https://scontent-lga1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xta1/v/t34.0-12/12007015_1494647757516115_1691006291_n.jpg?oh=8cd81b9d9ab928a0574ccd74f1d1b321&oe=55FD05BD" /><br />

<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="color: #990000;">Where do I even begin ??</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="color: #990000;"><br /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="color: #990000;">Eva has known all her life that she's adopted. She internally questioned everything. She never felt like she belonged. When she meets with a lawyer, she finds out that her only living relative, has not only passed, but has left her everything. Knowing what she knows now, has her questioning everything all over again. Heading to get answers, she meets the ever so brooding yet sexy Brantley. He awakes things in her she didn't know we're dead.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="color: #990000;"><br /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="color: #990000;">The ever so swoon worthy Brantley sees a princess. A spoiled rotten princess, who he finds highly attractive but wants nothing to do with... Or does he?</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="color: #990000;"><br /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="color: #990000;">I admit, I wanted to throat punch Brantley. Hard. But after reading more, I fell in love with him! This is a first that I'm reading by this author and I'll tell ya, best decision ever!! I literally could not stop reading! I was up til 1am so I could finish it!! Absolutely amazing!!</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="color: #990000;">5 out of 5 stars for sure!!</span></div>

CAPTURE is the first installment in a brand new stand alone series by Rachel Van Dyken… Being an assistant to Holywood’s newest heartthrob Lincoln Greene would be hard enough without being mute, but that’s what Dani is. She hasn’t spoken since her parents’ death… This is one summer romance that you don’t want to miss!</h3>

<span style="font-family: Palatino;">Safeway was packed. I sent a text over to Lincoln that I’d grab the waffle mix if he wanted to wait in line at Starbucks. I knew he was thankful. Already he was getting odd looks from people. It was in the paper that filming was taking place for the next few months, and he was a dead giveaway with his Lakers hat and Ray-Bans.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Palatino;">I quickly weaved through the grocery-cart traffic until I reached the pancake and waffle mixes.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Palatino;">So I just picked the one that said organic, assuming that was probably what he’d want anyway.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Palatino;">“Dani?” a familiar male voice called. “Is it really you?”</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Palatino;">“You’re back.” He grinned, looking like an innocent boy. He looked how I should have looked at that same age… innocent, wide eyed, excited about life. “Are you going to be finishing senior year?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Palatino;">I tried to speak. I wanted to so bad. I begged my stupid mouth to move. I prayed to God that I wouldn’t be embarrassed or that he wouldn’t think I was a total bitch, too good for him.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Palatino;">I made a croaking noise.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Palatino;">He frowned.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Palatino;">I tried again.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Palatino;">“Oh.” He took a step back. “You’re still sick, huh? That has to suck, not talking… have you ever tried just being better?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<i><span style="font-family: Palatino;">Have I ever tried just being better? Light bulb! Why hadn’t I thought of that? Someone give him a prize!</span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Palatino;">“I mean…” He stepped forward. “… don’t you think it’s kind of immature to use this to get all that attention?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Palatino;">Tears stung my eyes as another figure made its way down the aisle.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Palatino;">“Elliot, hurry up — oh…” Amanda his new girlfriend, my ex-best friend paused mid-sentence. “Dani, you’re back!”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Palatino;">Fake smile.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Palatino;">Fake boobs — compliments of her rich parents.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Palatino;">And by the looks of it, fake lips. Great.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Palatino;">“We’ve missed you.” She reached out to hug me.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Palatino;">I took a step back.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Palatino;">Rolling her eyes, she motioned to Elliot. “We gotta run, homecoming court and all that. I’m sure you would understand if you actually stopped pretending to be traumatized and went to school.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Palatino;">Angry, so angry that the words wouldn’t come, I opened my mouth again. This time a weird mewling noise came out, one I’d never before uttered. I sounded like a lamb caught in someone’s fence.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Palatino;">Amanda burst out laughing. “Anyone ever told you that you could be an actress just like your sister? How is she, by the way? Knocked up by that movie star, what’s his name?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Palatino;">“Jamie Jaymeson,” came Lincoln’s smooth voice. “We’ll be sure to let him know you said hi.” He wrapped a possessive arm around me and pulled me close to his chest. A war raged within me — lean on him like I actually needed him and was thankful for his save, or jerk away and embarrass myself more.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Palatino;">I leaned in.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Palatino;">He smelled like Starbucks coffee and leather.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Palatino;">“No way!” Amanda smacked Elliot in the shoulder. “You’re Lincoln Greene!”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Palatino;">“Yup.” He held a tight smile. “I’m sorry, and you are?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Palatino;">“Friends.” Amanda blurted. “Old friends with Dani.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Palatino;">“Well, that’s weird.” He shared a look with me and squeezed. “I’ve known Dani here for a while, and she’s never mentioned you. Not once.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Palatino;">Amanda’s face turned bright red. “Well, she doesn’t talk, so maybe that’s why.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Palatino;">Lincoln grinned tightly. “She talks.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Palatino;">Oh no. What was he doing!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Palatino;">“But only to people extremely close to her, right, baby?” He kissed the top of my head and sighed. “Anyway, we’re late. Nice meeting you. What was your name again?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Palatino;">“A-amanda.” She jutted her chin out.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Palatino;">“Right.” Lincoln had the whole <i>little-people</i> stare down like an expert. Even I flinched when he haughtily dismissed the two of them and steered me back down the aisle.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Palatino;">“Assholes,” he muttered under his breath as he angrily grabbed the mix from my hands then swiped his card.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Palatino;">“Are you a rewards member?” the checker asked.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Palatino;">Lincoln stared him down.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Palatino;">The checker swallowed slowly. “I’ll take that as a no.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Palatino;">I grabbed the mix while Lincoln snatched the receipt and tugged me toward the truck. He opened my door, and I climbed inside.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Palatino;">He didn’t shut it.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Palatino;">I frowned as he braced himself against the door frame. “Are you okay?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Palatino;">I shrugged.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Palatino;">He licked his full lips then grabbed his phone and started typing.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">

<span style="font-family: Palatino;">Lincoln read the text and glanced up, his eyes locking on me. “You dated that?”</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Palatino;">Lincoln’s face twisted into a bitter smile. “I don’t give a shit. He’s an asshole.”</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Palatino;">He didn’t answer. He stared at the text then glanced back up at me. “Jaymeson never told me. He just said you needed a job and were a selective mute. I looked it up online.” He looked embarrassed. “Beyond that, I don’t know your story. But I do know this. You lived for a reason. So what you do right now — even if it’s as simple as getting out of bed every day — it matters.”</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Palatino;">The static silence greeted me, making my body tense with a tingling awareness, almost as if someone had just pressed cold paddles to my chest and shouted, <i>“Clear!”</i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Palatino;">“So,” Lincoln jumped into the truck, cleared his throat and started the engine. “Jaymeson said you baked. Please tell me that includes making kick-ass waffles.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Palatino;">I gave a solitary nod.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Palatino;">“Thank God.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Palatino;">And that was it.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Julia Caldwell has long since mastered the art of seduction in order to catch the only thing on her radar; one night stands. Having two failed marriages under her belt, she’s learned to keep her feelings in check and remain aloof, not wanting to get caught up in another pesky relationship only for it to end eventually in heartache. As the manager of a prestigious Hair Salon in Nashville, she succeeds in keeping the opposite sex at arms-length except when it suits her and her needs. That is until she lands on Cottage Grove soil.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Dean Parker has just as many failed marriages against him, and with being a divorce lawyer it eventually has him thinking that’s why his conquests always fall through, due to his occupation. After seeing his two childhood friends rekindle their flame and earning the happily ever after he so desperately craves, he decides to give up. That it’s not worth the heartache he’s been put through. Until he meets the snarky spitfire who gets under his skin.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Throwing the two of them together in the same town for the wedding of their best friends, Julia isn’t against having another fling, even if it is with Dean, but he definitely has other plans of making it more than that. Amongst their non-defined affair, lurking somewhere in the darkness is a shadow from one of their pasts who will stop at nothing to make sure that happily ever after’s stay where they belong, in the fairy tales.</div>

<div style="border: 9px groove #e4bf8b; height: 400px; overflow: auto; width: 98%;">
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 12.8000001907349px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 24px;">I dashed into the airport, barely escaping the torrential downpour, and went straight for the airline itinerary board to make sure Julia’s plane was still on time. I was willing to start completely over and let the past stay in the past, as long as she was. Which was why I was a gentleman enough to come into the airport and offer to help her out with her luggage.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 19.2000007629395px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 24px;">I hung out near the baggage claim, where soon enough Julia would make her appearance.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 12.8000001907349px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 24px;">I didn’t have to wait long before I caught a glimpse of her waiting by the baggage carousel and heaving her big-ass luggage to the floor. Once she stood upright again and glanced my way she literally took my breath away. Something about her made me want her with every fiber of my being. Even after being on a plane for several hours she looked as if she had walked right off a page of a magazine; that was until she came closer towards me and opened her mouth.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 19.2000007629395px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 24px;">“Why in the hell are you here?” She sneered in my direction, with venom and annoyance.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 19.2000007629395px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 24px;">So much for turning over a new leaf and being gentlemanly.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 19.2000007629395px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 24px;">I shoved my hands in my pockets and rolled back on my heels, “Do you think I actually volunteered for this?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 19.2000007629395px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 24px;">She took just a brief second to peruse my body, so quick that she probably didn’t think I noticed. But I noticed, oh yeah I did.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 12.8000001907349px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 24px;">“Yes,” she turned up a side of her freshly painted lips, “more than likely,” she said flatly.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 19.2000007629395px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 24px;">“Yeah, because chauffeuring your ass around was high on my bucket list.” I made a motion to check off that next item on my imaginary list.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 19.2000007629395px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 24px;">“Oh please,” she huffed. “This is probably the most excitement you’ve seen in a month.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 19.2000007629395px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 24px;">“No, that award definitely goes to Eden. She’s teetering on the verge of a breakdown.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 12.8000001907349px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 24px;">Her eyes softened at the mention of her friend and all the stress she was enduring. Perhaps there was a heart placed in the cold cavity in her chest. “Well, then what are we standing around here gabbing for then? I have a best friend to help!” She pivoted on her heel and began walking towards the exit doors of the airport, giving me an unabashed view of her fine ass as she sashayed away from me.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 12.8000001907349px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 24px;">Right before she reached the exit doors, I came up and stopped in front of her, ready to burst her bubble. Looking down at her immaculate outfit, including what I would guess to be four-inch heels, I said, “I see you made sure to bring your winter coat, but I hope you packed rain boots. It’ll suck trying to walk to my car in the pouring rain in those heels,” I pointed down to her stunning footwear that I just couldn’t help picturing wrapped around my waist. Even though she drove me crazy with her smart ass remarks, I was a man after all and I wasn’t ashamed to admit that I found her extremely attractive.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 19.2000007629395px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 24px;">Her eyes went wide and I had to try my hardest to hold back my laughter that was undoubtedly threatening to erupt. “No…I didn’t even think about it. Are you parked far?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 19.2000007629395px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 24px;">“At the end of the loading/unloading zone.” Her face immediately fell following my words, this was just too much fun.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 12.8000001907349px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 24px;">“Well, can you pull my luggage?” That was what I had initially come in for, but since she wanted to start off by being a bitch, those weren’t my intentions any longer.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 12.8000001907349px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 24px;">“Ah, sorry,” I replied, acting a bit sympathetic. “An independent woman such as yourself doesn’t need any help from a <i>man</i>.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 19.2000007629395px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 24px;">“Ugh,” she stomped one of her heels against the concrete floor, making the sound echo throughout the lobby. “I really hate you,” she bit out between her clenched teeth.</span></div>
<span class="im" style="color: #500050; font-size: 12.8000001907349px; line-height: normal; text-indent: 0px;"></span><span class="im" style="color: #500050; font-size: 12.8000001907349px; line-height: normal; text-indent: 0px;"></span><span class="im" style="color: #500050; font-size: 12.8000001907349px; line-height: normal; text-indent: 0px;"></span><span class="im" style="color: #500050; font-size: 12.8000001907349px; line-height: normal; text-indent: 0px;"></span><span class="im" style="color: #500050; font-size: 12.8000001907349px; line-height: normal; text-indent: 0px;"></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 12.8000001907349px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 24px;">“Oh, the feeling is definitely mutual,” I smiled smugly to myself, pulled up the hood to my coat, readjusted, and patted the umbrella that was resting in the inside pocket of my jacket. I chuckled under my breath, if she knew that I had an umbrella in my possession, she would no doubt change her tune. But where would be the fun in that? I'd just keep that nugget of information to myself.</span></div>

Alison Eckrich was an expert at being invisible. Having been raised by a mother who saw only flaws, she had learned long ago to watch and never participate. Until him. He was gorgeous from what little she could make out through his bathroom window and he awakened things inside her she had always been told was wrong. But she didn’t care.
<i>She was addicted.</i>
Gabriel Madoc was no stranger to the cold sting of betrayal. His broken heart had left him hard and bitter and that was how he liked it. Until her. She was a vision in the soft twilight. Everything about her called to him. It didn’t even matter he couldn’t see her face.
<i>He wanted her.</i>
The rules were simple: No names. No faces. No attachments. They both had what the other needed so long as they never broke the rules. But what will happen when the mystery is unveiled and they both come face to face with the truth and each other? Is what they shared in the cloak of darkness enough to keep them together, or will reality tear them apart?<o:p></o:p></span> </div>

His brooding, yet handsome grandson, Gave, loathes her for some reason. She uses her snarky attitude in defense.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">What
would you do if you were in a tragic plane crash that killed everyone

<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> Kenna
lost her forever, Derrick, the man she loved with all of her heart.
Now she has to move on with her life, a life without Derrick in it.
She will never see his smiling face again, or feel his lips against
hers. How will she cope with her loss? How will she get through each
and every day after this senseless tragedy?</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> Her
life falls apart and diminishes slowly in front of her eyes,
especially when she unravels the truth about the corruption that
takes over people in power. The horrendous plane crash was nothing
compared to the fear brought on by The Company, the shameful entity
that controls if you live or die.</span></span></div>

Alison Eckrich was an expert at being invisible. Having been raised by a mother who saw only flaws, she had learned long ago to watch and never participate. Until him. He was gorgeous from what little she could make out through his bathroom window and he awakened things inside her she had always been told was wrong. But she didn’t care.
<i>She was addicted.</i>
Gabriel Madoc was no stranger to the cold sting of betrayal. His broken heart had left him hard and bitter and that was how he liked it. Until her. She was a vision in the soft twilight. Everything about her called to him. It didn’t even matter he couldn’t see her face.
<i>He wanted her.</i>
The rules were simple: No names. No faces. No attachments. They both had what the other needed so long as they never broke the rules. But what will happen when the mystery is unveiled and they both come face to face with the truth and each other? Is what they shared in the cloak of darkness enough to keep them together, or will reality tear them apart?<o:p></o:p></span>

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“God, baby, I need you inside me so bad…” My husky moan fogged the glass, obscuring my view of the deep fried and smothered in chocolate goodness just one creepy glass lick away from being all mine. “But I can’t let you control my life anymore.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The pimply faced adolescent on the other side of the counter fidgeted uncomfortably, clearly disturbed by my affections, and possibly the drool marks I was leaving on his pristine display case.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Ma’am?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Giving the pastry one final glance of longing, I turned to him. “Just tea. Decaf because I apparently hate myself.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Still looking nervous—maybe he was afraid I would start making out with the register next—he punched in my order, muttered off my total and then scurried off to grab me a pretty white cup and fill it with hot water. I set my money down and waited, all the while casting furtive peeks at the Boston cream pastry eyeing me back with a seductive, chocolaty glaze that all but whispered all the ways it could make me feel <i>muy mucho</i> <i>goodo</i> because that was how all my dirty fantasies started—with my food sounding like <i>Antonio Banderas</i>.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My water and teabag were set on the counter and nudged towards me the way lions were fed at the zoo—with a long stick poking their meals in under a steel cage door. Only the stick was his finger and the counter was the only thing keeping him safe from my all out crazy. My money was swept into a sweaty palm and tossed carelessly into the register. The drawer was slammed shut. Then there was nothing left for me to do but leave. Yet my weakness took that moment to nearly win; I started to open my mouth to order the pastry anyway, to portray that fuck it attitude I only pretended I possessed. But who was I kidding? It would never be just the one and my ass could do without the extra pounds. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dejected, I took my disgusting drink and shuffled off to find a table somewhere within the air conditioned heaven. No one wanted to sit outside when it was hot enough to fry bacon. But most of the tables in the small café were full by drone-eyed squatters slumped over their laptops and cappuccinos. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Bastards.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Moving quickly down the line leading all the way to the door, I bee-lined for the only available table out on the shaded patio. My scalding water sloshed in the cup, but stayed stubbornly within the confines of the ceramic. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The moment I shouldered open the doors, I knew I’d made a mistake getting tea; it was just too damn hot. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I glanced back over my shoulder at the line. Nope. No way was I standing in that death trap a second time, not even for a Frappuccino with whipped cream and chocolate syrup, which was what I had originally gone in to get, except the beautifully athletic woman ahead of me had ordered a soy, low fat, no foam, something-something-something latte and the guilt had been too much. When the boy had fixed me with those judgy little eyes, I had balked and let myself be swayed by peer pressure and shame. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Resigned, I went to the table and sat. I stuffed my purse into the seat next to me and wondered how to drink my tea without sweating to death. I started by dropping my teabag into the water and watching as dark tendrils escaped and tainted the clear liquid. I adjusted my glasses as they began to slide down my sweaty nose and squinted at all the blinding brightness around me. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The café sat in the middle of a semi busy street catering mostly to restaurants and coffee shops and the occasional art studio. I wasn’t normally a coffee drinker and art made no sense to me, but I liked people. More importantly, I liked watching them … secretly … from a very great distance so as not to have to interact. People fascinated me. The things they did half the time made me question just how much chemicals and hormones really went into our food. But the problem with the artsy part of town was that it was very shiny. Everything gleamed. There were lights everywhere and everyone was dressed in bold, flashy colors that hurt the brain. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Me, in my long black skirt and baggy blouse melded with the décor. I could never pull off bold and sexy. Hell, I couldn’t even pull off one of those. Most days, my face would be lucky to see makeup, just because it was time taken away from something less pointless. No guy that didn’t require coke bottle glasses would ever look in my direction twice. Everything about me was all the things most men never noticed in a woman, unless they were into lobotomizing their dates. I just didn’t have the right looks to get men excited. It was a fact I had come to accept. Me and my lowly little decaf cup of tea.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Rats!” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The exclamation was followed by the ripping sound of paper and the thud of things striking pavement. I twisted around in my seat just as an elderly man dropped down next to his torn bag of groceries. Pedestrians flocked around him, parting like the Red Sea to avoid stepping on him, or his things. But no one stopped to give him a hand as he scrambled to scoop items off the ground. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Abandoning my untouched drink, I hurried from my seat and dropped down next to him. My hands closed around a bag of apples, a tray of fresh chicken breasts and several cans of corn. I hugged them to my chest as he dumped his armload into the torn paper bag. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Here,” I said, pulling the bag to me and emptying my things inside as well. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There was a stalk of celery and a carton of eggs that had upended on the sidewalk. I managed to salvage the celery. But the eggs had already begun to sizzle against the concrete.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I think your eggs are toast,” I told him, stuffing the celery into the bag. “Or fried eggs, I guess.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The man sighed. “Figures. That’s what I get for getting them <i>free range </i>eggs for about ten dollars more.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It was a struggle not to laugh at the disgruntled huff. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I think I have a plastic bag in my purse,” I said instead. “We might be able to fit all of this into it.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Taking the bag from him, I walked back to my table and dragged my purse over. I opened the first pocket and rummaged inside. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The man shuffled up beside me and whistled. “Now, I’ve seen some crazy purses women carry around, but that right there is a doozy.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My purse really was unique. When I first found it, it had only had the one big pocket and the one tiny pocket sewn into the inside. By the time I finished with it, it had about twenty pockets in various shapes and sizes and they all carried something. I had everything from a tiny sewing kit, to a paperback novel nestled inside. There were packets of tissue, gum, a small set of screw drivers, several zip ties, different sizes of Ziploc bags. and even a flashlight. I had everything a person could possibly need for just about any occasion. Because of all that, the bag was actually kind of heavy, which came in handy if I ever had to hit someone, which hadn’t happened yet, but I was hopeful.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I like being prepared,” I told him. “Here we go!” Shaking out the plastic bag, I slid the paper one into it and held it out to the man. “There you are.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The man squinted at me with one brown eye. The other one was screwed shut against the sun and he had to cup a gnarled hand over his brows to see me properly. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He had to be in his late seventies with big, child-like eyes and a kind face that immediately made a person like him. What little hair he had was combed over the wide bald patch on his head and looked as fine as a baby’s. His frail body was tucked into a pair of beige trousers and a checkered top that was buttoned all the way to his throat. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“What’s your name?” he asked.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Still holding the bag, I smiled. “Alison Eckrich.” I held out my free hand. “Everyone calls me Ali.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He took it in a surprisingly firm handshake. “Earl Madoc.” He let my hand go and squinted some more. “Listen, Ali, you wouldn’t mind helping an old man get his groceries home, would you? My arthritis is just killing me today.” He rubbed his contorted hand, working the stiff muscles with a grimace deepening his wrinkles. “I live about a block down that way. I would pay you for your troubles.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I waved away the offer. I was done with the whole fresh air thing and would have probably gone home anyway. Walking him would have been no skin off my nose, especially since he was walking in the same general direction. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I grabbed my purse, threw the strap around my shoulders, and took up his bag of groceries once more. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Lead the way, Earl.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Offering me a kind smile, he started forward at a shuffle-limp, like his right leg had been injured at some point and hadn’t recovered properly. I wasn’t sure if that was the case, or if it was just age, but I wondered why he didn’t walk with a cane if it hurt him as much as it seemed to. I didn’t ask. I figured whatever the reason was, it was his business. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We walked in silence for several steps and stopped at the lights.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“So what do you do, Ali Eckrich?” Earl asked as the lights changed and we started across.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I am currently between jobs,” I replied around a tight curl of my lips. “I just moved here, so actually I’m kind of still looking.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“No kidding.” He scratched his jaw dusted with a fine layer of white bristle. The sound reminded me of sandpaper. “Where did you move from?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Portland, Oregon,” I answered. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Earl’s eyes went wide. “An American!”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I laughed. “No, I was only there for school. I’m originally from Alberta.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“What did you study?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I pulled in a breath that smelled of fried hotdogs from the cart we passed and asphalt from the construction crew working on the roads a street down. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I have my bachelor’s degree in business administration.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Earl whistled through his teeth. “That’s fancy.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Four years,” I confessed. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“And they didn’t teach that here at the schools in Canada?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I laughed at that. It was the same comment I got from my sister when I initially got accepted to the University of Portland. But at least she had known the real reason behind my need to get as far away from home as possible. Earl didn’t need to and I didn’t need to tell him.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“It was a growing experience,” I said, using my fall back response to most things. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“So you’re good with the books and things of a business.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I shrugged. “Yes, and marketing and finances.” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Interesting.” He scratched his jaw again. “Do you know anything about filing?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Filing?” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Organizing,” he corrected.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I had to shrug at that. “I guess. Depends on what it is.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We turned a corner and started down Pine Street. For a split second, I almost stopped, thinking I was inadvertently leading the poor guy back to my house. But Earl kept shuffling onward and I hurried to keep up. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I just moved to this street,” I said. “My apartment is further down.” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Yeah? My grandson did, too,” Earl said. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I started to ask where, when Earl veered left, hobbling his way towards a large, badly painted building that was impregnating the whole street with a powerful stench of motor grease, metal, and sweat. The rusty sign bolted over the trio of wide garage doors spelled, <i>Madoc Auto Body Repair.</i> The bay doors were all open to the bright afternoon. Two were empty. The middle one had a car hoisted on a lift. A man in a blue jumpsuit stood in the trench underneath with a handheld work light. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“It’s all right,” Earl called out to me when he realized I wasn’t following him. “This here has been in the family for near four generations.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Curiosity perked, I knuckled my glasses back up the bridge of my nose and shuffled after him. Up close, the smell did not improve.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The man beneath the Pontiac banged on the underside of the car with a wrench; the sound swallowed the hum of jazz spilling from the boom box perched on the red toolbox next to the car. I watched him even as I followed Earl up a set of stairs built into the side of the garage, leading into what appeared to be an office cut out of gray stone slabs. It was impossible to tell what was hidden beneath the towers of paper that were layered over every available flat surface. There was another set of doors straight across, painted a harsh yellow that led to what looked like stairs going up. Earl stopped at the bottom, gripping the railing bolted into the side and leaned against the wall, his face flushed. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“The kitchen is straight up,” he panted slightly. “I’d show you, but that heat just about did me in and I can’t trust myself on them stairs right now.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Concerned by the sheen of sweat glistening across his brow, I tossed a frantic glance over the room. I caught sight of a swiveling chair poking out from beneath the papers and hurried over to it. The wheels grated against the concrete as I shoved it to where Earl half slumped against the wall. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Here.” I guided him into it. “Why don’t you sit down and I’ll get you some water?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Earl smiled at me. “You are such a sweet little thing.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Will you be okay if I run up?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He waved me away as he leaned his head back and closed his eyes. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Not wanting to leave him alone for longer than I had to, I hurried up the stairs, grocery bag in tow. At the top, I paused as the loft-style space came into view. The layout was straightforward with a bedroom set in one corner beneath a grand, bay window. At the foot of it, was a sitting area equipped with a leather sofa, recliner and TV. Across from that was a kitchenette and a bathroom on my right. I moved towards the kitchen. I ran the tap and occupied myself by shoving the groceries into the fridge while I waited for the water to get cold. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Who are you?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The pack of chicken breasts slipped out of my hands with my undignified squeak of fright and hit the top of my sandaled foot. I whirled around to confront the sudden explosion of words from behind me. The booming voice was male, but it was the volume of it, the sheer weight behind the sound that prickled the skin along my spine. My hand trembled as I fidgeted with my glasses, shoving them back into place so the dark, blurry shadow looming mere feet away could come into focus. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I wasn’t blind. I could see most things without my glasses. They just weren’t very clear. Everything had a fuzzy hue around the edges. Kind of like a smudged pastel painting, exaggerating the shapes and size of people. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This guy was not exaggerated. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
No less than seven feet with a frame that was clearly stolen from some lumberjack catalogue, he stood blocking my escape. I mean, I could have maybe done some crazy ninja lunge over the counter, but that probably wasn’t going to happen. Instead, I stood there, slack-jawed, staring at the mountain man glowering back at me with a suspicion one would normally reserve for diamond thieves and those bitches who steal all the bikes at the gym just to sit and talk to each other.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He wore flannel, which only made my lumberjack theory all the more plausible. It was undone over a white t-shirt and form fitting jeans that hugged his lean legs the way I kind of wanted to. The hems fell over battered and really ugly boots that needed an incinerator to put them out of their misery and were frayed around the cuffs. His chest strained beneath the thin material with every breath and my gaze was drawn to the hard squares cut of his breast plates and along the wide lengths of his shoulders. The sleeves on the flannel were rolled up his toned forearms and barely concealed the raw muscles underneath.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Definitely a lumberjack.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Shit the man was hot. Screw Boston cream pastries. I’ll take two of him.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Hello?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Blinking, my eyes shot up to the head attached to that delicious body and my steamy fantasy bubble popped. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Thick, black hair covered his jaw and mouth in a beard. His hair was the same shade of ebony and hung uncut around his ears and over the collar of his flannel. From amongst all that hair, I could just make out piercing, intense gray eyes.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Really?” I blurted in clear disappointment, my brain and mouth having lost communication at some point. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It was his turn to blink in surprise. He leaned over and snapped the faucet off with a smack of his palm.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“What?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There was no helping it. My whole day was officially ruined and it was his fault.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Okay, I had no problem with men with facial hair. Sometimes, it was even hot. But not when it looked like he was going for a yearlong expedition through the <i>Himalayan Mountains</i>, or planned to live with bears out in the wilderness. There was a reason trimmers and razors were invented. And … Goddamn it! The dude was too hot for that shit.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Are you lost?” he demanded when I could only stand there and silently judge him.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I don’t know! Maybe you could loan me a compass!” I shot back. “Or a hatchet.” So I was just being crazy and I almost couldn’t blame him for his confounded scowl. I took a deep breath. “I’m Ali,” I said calmly and rationally. “I—”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Gabriel?” Earl limped up the stairs, clutching tight to the banister until he was at the top. He looked better, I noted. The flush was gone from his face and he wasn’t panting. “I didn’t know you were here.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>Gabriel</i> turned to the other man. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Really?” I was amazed at how much that single question sounded like mine, full of indignant disapproval. “She’s not even half your age.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I had not seen that coming.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Whoa! Wait. What?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I was ignored. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Why do they keep getting younger?” he demanded of Earl. “You’re going to break a damn hip … again, and I’m going to have to listen while you explain to the doctor how you broke the fucking thing … again! You’re eighty years old, Grandpa!” Gabriel then rounded on me. “He’s eighty years old!”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Dude!” I began, putting both hands up to ward off the craziness he was spewing. “I am not tapping that.” I winced and shot Earl a sheepish smile. “No offense.” I went back to glowering at Lumberjack. “So his hip is perfectly safe with me.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Gabriel looked me over. Actually <i>looked me over</i> with a disbelief that was astounding. Did I have old man hooker stamped to my forehead, or something? Like seriously? I was insulted … and then he added salt to my injuries. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I guess,” he mumbled. “Did he forget to return a book, or something? I didn’t know the library did house calls.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
How. The. <i>Fuck</i>. Did I go from being a hooker, to a librarian in the span of two seconds?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Ali was kind enough to help me with my groceries,” Earl piped in before I could kick his lovely grandson in the family jewels.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Swooping down, I hefted up the pack of chicken still lying at my feet and shoved it into his gut with all the force in me. His grunt of pain was only mildly satisfying.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I accept apologizes in written form only,” I growled through my teeth. “I like to file them under <i>Fuckhead</i>.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
With that, I stomped around him and started for the stairs. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Ali, wait.” Earl hurried after me, and I only stopped for him. Otherwise, I was ready to make my grand exit, stage left. “Don’t mind Gabriel. His mother drank while she was pregnant.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Grandpa!”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He ignored his grandson, which amused me. I was really beginning to like Earl. Enough to sleep with him? Uh, no. But definitely enough to want to give him a high five.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I still owe you for helping me with my groceries.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I shook my head. “Really it’s fine. I have to get home anyway and continue the job hunt. But it was wonderful to meet you.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Actually!” Earl grabbed my hand before I could leave. “That’s exactly what I want to do.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I frowned. “You want to help me job hunt?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Yes and no,” he answered with a chuckle. “We need someone with your expertise here at the shop and you need a job. I think we can help each other out.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“What are you doing, Grandpa?” Gabriel demanded.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I’m getting this place an administrative assistant,” Earl retorted. “Someone who knows how to do the books and filing, because apparently you got my brains when it comes to paperwork.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Gabriel scowled. The guy was a professional scowler. I could tell. He was very good at his job.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“We’re doing fine,” he grumbled.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Have you seen the office, Gabriel?” Earl countered. “I found a form the other day dating back to when the shop was first opened. We need the help.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Gabriel seemed to chew this bit of information over, possibly literally. His face-bush kept twitching. Either that, or some unsuspecting rodent had made a home beneath that jungle.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Fine. I’ll call someone,” he replied. “There has to be an agency, or—”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Why when Ali’s right here?” Earl said, waving a hand at me. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Those smolderingly gray eyes darted to me and narrowed even further if possible. “You met the girl two minutes ago. How do you know she’s any good? Besides, she barely looks old enough to be out of school.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Yeah, this guy and I would never be friends. He made me want to stab him, repeatedly, with something pointy and rusty. That didn’t make for very good friendship. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I graduated with my bachelors last year,” I informed him sharply. “And spent the last ten months interning at one of the biggest ad companies in Portland. Trust me, I am very good at what I do.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“And I am a very good judge of character,” Earl added. “I like Ali and since this is still my shop, I’m hiring her.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Gabriel stared hard at his grandfather. “That’s not how this works. You need references and—”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I’m not an idiot, Gabriel!” Earl snapped. “I’ve been doing this since before you were born. But she’s the one I want.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It didn’t even dawn on me that I had just accepted a job at a garage. At that moment, all I wanted was to rub it in Gabriel’s smug little face. Then it hit me.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Wait, you’re giving me a job?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Gabriel threw his hands up. “Observant.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I opened my mouth to tell him I was ten different belts of crazy and not afraid to use all of them on him if he kept pushing me, but Earl touched my arm. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“If you want it,” he said kindly. “It might not be all fancy, but you can start tomorrow. Bring your papers and Gabriel will go over them.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
With that, and a pat on my shoulder, he shuffled back down the stairs, leaving me alone with Mountain Man. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Are you sleeping with him?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Unbelievable.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I don’t sleep with men to get what I want, Jack,” I snapped. “I’m perfectly capable of getting through life without offering my taco to every man that walks my way.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
That seemed to silence him. He watched me like I was some endangered species that just made no sense. I wasn’t sure how I felt about that. I wasn’t there for his approval. I certainly didn’t want it. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But, at the same time, I did need a job. After three months of unemployment, my savings had begun to grow a happy family of dust bunnies and I didn’t know when I would get another offer like that. Besides, it would only be temporary. I could watch my mouth and temper for a few months. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Gabriel turned his full attention on me, which meant not just his eyes, or his head, but his entire body so we were facing off. I hated that he was taller than me. Pretending to be a bad ass took extra effort when you were stuck glowering at a beautiful man chest.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“My grandfather is eighty years old,” he told me again in a deep, quiet tone. “He’s trusting of pretty faces, but I’m not. I may not have any say in who he hires, but that sure as hell won’t stop me from booting you out of here if I smell even a hint of foul play.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“What exactly do you think I’m after?” I wondered. “And what exactly does foul play smell like?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
His gaze roamed along my frame, taking in everything from the chipped, purple nail polish on my toes to the messy knot that was my hair bun. I wasn’t sure which of that irritated him more, because his frown never shifted. He seemed to disapprove of all of me. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Look,” I said, struggling to keep my calm when all I wanted to do was throat punch the guy for making me feel about two inches tall with just a look. “I get it. You think a woman doesn’t belong in a garage.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“You’re right,” he said evenly. “That’s exactly what I think.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It took me a full second to peel my jaw off the floor. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“That is the most sexist thing I have ever—”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Do you know what women are, Ali? A liability,” he went on, ignoring my irate sputtering. “They come into a place and destroy it with the two ton bag of drama they heave around. I don’t like drama. And I don’t like trouble, which is exactly what you are.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Any other time, any other person and I would have taken that as a compliment. As it were, his condescending bullshit pissed me off.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“And how am I trouble?” I bite out with all the composure I could scrounge up. “Is it the glasses, because I can vouch for their character?” His eyes narrowed, but I didn’t give a shit. “You know, this is why women don’t feel comfortable bringing their cars in to get checked, because of assholes like you who treat them like they’re braindead and unworthy of a fair exchange. You think just because we’re women and may not know as much about vehicles as men that we’re somehow less superior to you. Well, you know what, Jack, you can keep your fucking job. I wouldn’t work for you, with you, near you if you paid me in gold bricks.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Whirling on my heels, I left.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I walked out of the garage without running into Earl. I briefly wondered if I should find him and thank him for the generous offer that I needed to decline, but thought better of it. I needed to get away from that asshole before I did something I might not regret later. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My apartment was a two block walk from the garage, tucked behind a towering wall of spruce trees. It sat nestled on a slight incline surrounded by Victorian homes and other smaller apartments. Mine was one of the older structures. The red brick was faded and chipped in places and the windows were the enormous panes used in lofts, but the rent was cheap and I liked the view.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The building itself had originally been two separate structures with six stories each. At some point, someone had connected the pair by a wall on either end, leaving a narrow gap in between that opened into a courtyard that was never used because realistically, it was a squished alley someone spruced up with flowerboxes. I could easily leap from my balcony into the apartment across the way … if I was Cat Woman, or a burglar. As it were, I was neither and had no desire to leap into an empty apartment. But the thing I did like to do was occasionally stand by the terrace doors and watch the lives of the people in the other building. As a person who lived on the sixth floor, dead center, I had the perfect angle to see most of what was going on in the other suites. Call me crazy, or a pervert, but most people in my position would do the same, especially since there was nowhere else to look, except to maybe count the bricks on the building. My neighbors were much more interesting. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I have always liked watching. I like seeing how people interact and behave alone and in groups. I like wondering what they’re talking about and what they’re thinking. As a child, I was the lone kid on the playground, the one that said nothing, but stared at the others as they ran and played. I was okay with that. I never cared that I wasn’t picked for teams, or asked to play skip rope. While I wasn’t some creepy shut in that liked collecting strands of my classmate’s hairs to make dolls, I didn’t go out of my way to make friends either. I still don’t. Friends are great, except I never know what to do with them. I see other people and it all seems so natural. They laugh and talk and make plans to talk and laugh some more at a later date. I would probably throw a fry at them and hope they were distracted enough not to notice me running away. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So I stayed home. When I did have to interact, I did so cautiously and tried not to make any sudden movements. Occasionally, I could even have full on conversations with people without anyone getting hurt. But I liked my solitary life. I cherished it even.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My apartment was designed by someone with no concept of measurements. Everything was done in extremes. The living room was barely big enough for a sofa, while the only bedroom was enormous. The kitchen was small, but the single bathroom could fit an entire Russian circus. The closet in the hall could have doubled as a second bedroom if it hadn’t been so narrow, while the pantry in the kitchen could barely hold a stack of towels. I was only thankful no one ever came to visit me or it would have been hard to explain why my bedroom was in the living room and why my living room was in my bedroom, or why all my food was in the closet down the hall near the bathroom and my towels were in my kitchen. It all worked fine for me, but I knew it wasn’t normal.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Tossing my keys and purse onto the glass table I kept by the front door, I kicked off my sandals and made my way into the bedroom. It was a short walk down a minute hall that split off in three separate directions. Right to the kitchen. Left to the living room and bathroom, and straight for the bedroom. My toes curled in the plush carpet that extended from wall to wall. Underneath it was the scarred hardwood that came with the place. But after a week of waking up to use the bathroom and having to tiptoe on what felt like a sheet of ice, I said screw it and splurged on a carpet. Best investment ever. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My bedroom was my favorite spot in the whole place and it showed. It was designed for comfort and easy access to everything. My queen sized bed faced the TV I had mounted over a glass set of shelves holding my DVD player and surround sound. On one side of the bed was my mini fridge. The other held an end table with a lamp and the remotes to the TV. The terrace doors were on the other side of my bed, draped in sheer curtains. On the opposite side of the room, against the wall that separated the bedroom from the kitchen was my vanity. Everything was within reach.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I stripped. I rarely saw the point of being dressed at home. There was no one there to judge me for the way I looked, or what shape I was in. It was my place of sanctuary. Plus there was something liberating about eating a cup of pudding completely naked.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
At a little after six, I drew on a robe, turned off the TV and wandered into the kitchen for a bowl of something. My pantry consisted mostly of things that could easily be warmed, cans of soup, microwavable dinners, the occasional canisters of squeeze cheese. I lived for one person. Me. If I wanted to cook a full meal, I had the luxury of running to the grocery store, grabbing the items and coming home. But those desires were rare. As it were, I grabbed a bowl of cereal and made my way to the terrace.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Seven o’clock was when my neighbors came home. It was when the dark windows lit up and life happened on the other side of the glass. I treated seven o’clock the way soap opera junkies treated their favorite sitcoms, with reverence and excitement. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The steel hoops embedded into the curtains hissed as I dragged the sheer drapes across the metal rod. I propped the glass doors open to the muggy evening and leaned a hip against the frame. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It was still fairly bright out. The sun was just making its final descent behind the buildings, but the narrow notch of space that I considered my little world had shadows slinking their way across the bricks. The lights from the other apartments were sharper, brighter, casting the figures inside into edgy silhouettes. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There were eighteen apartments. Each floor had three windows stamped into the side. I had given each one a name, which periodically changed as the occupants did. For example, in the three months I’d lived there, no one had ever rented the apartment adjacent to mine so that had come to be known as the Empty. Levels one, two, and three were impossible to see into from my sixth floor view. So that left me four, five and six. Four was iffy. I could only see about six feet into their apartments. But five and six were gold and that was where my favorite people lived.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Window one, top row: Old Man and Young Girl I had assumed for the first three weeks were father and daughter. So. Not. I learned that the hard way while eating spicy curry and nearly dying when he heaved the girl against the glass and started fucking her. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Window two, top row: Empty.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Window three, top row: Crazy Jungle Couple who fought like piranha’s over fresh meat and made love just as intensely. They were better to watch than WWE on pay per view. I always had popcorn ready for when they got home. It was impossible to tell how the night would end.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Window one, second row: an Asian Couple with Little Girl. Watching them made me nostalgic for my own family, but then the girl would cry and throw things and that feeling would go away.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Window two, second row: Slutty Blonde with copious number of lovers. That week, she was banging the occupant of window three, second row, Handsome Dark Haired Dude with a beer belly but a seriously massive cock. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Row three was full of families. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Window one, row three: Single Mother with Little Boy. I would occasionally see him sitting at the window with his hand held game, munching on carrot sticks.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Window two, row three: Man and Woman with Twin Ghost Daughters. I was convinced those two girls were from <i>The Shining</i>. Creepy little shits. Every so often, I would look down and they’d just be standing there … staring back. Not blinking. It made it even creepier that they were both extremely pale with dead eyes and long dark hair. I shuddered every time my gaze roamed over their window. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Window three, row three: Large, Hairy Man with a deeper love of microwavable food than me, who spent a large portion of his time in his recliner watching football. I had a feeling he was a gambler, simply from the fits he’d always have when his team lost. It was irrational. But then what did I know about men and sports? Maybe he just had rage issues. Yet that didn’t explain why he’d get on the phone immediately afterwards and shout at whoever was on the other end. But that also could be explained. Maybe he had a friend somewhere else equally pissed and the two were venting to each other.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The fun was always in the guessing.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
That evening, only three of the windows lit up. Old Man and Hopefully Not His Daughter came home first. She sauntered into the living room, tossed her bright, pink purse down on the sofa and flopped down next to it. Old Man ambled his way into the kitchen and yanked open the fridge. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>No fucking tonight,</i> I thought, shifting my gaze to the other two windows. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Ghost Girls were back in their lacy, purple dresses, white stockings and jet black hairs. They stood shoulder to shoulder with their backs to the window. Their dad was hanging up their matching red coats in the hallway closet. Mom wasn’t home yet. She was a secretary, or a lawyer. She didn’t get home until about eleven, stooped over like her briefcase was filled with bricks. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The third window gave me a start. The presence of the pale, golden glow took my brain a full minute to process and even it knew something wasn’t right.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Window two, top row: wasn’t empty. There was movement behind the curtains. There was light! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Holy shit!”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Cereal bowl abandoned on the glass table next to the terrace doors, I stepped further onto the balcony. My fingers curled around the cool metal railing and I leaned in as far as I could without forgetting my not Cat woman notion and making the lunge over. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But as quickly as all the excitement had started, it sparked in surprise when the light flicked off and there was nothing. My gaze darted from the windows to the glass doors, waiting like an eager little puppy begging someone to throw the fucking ball already. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Nothing happened. The lights remained off. Stillness continued. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My gaze narrowed as I straightened. “All right,” I mumbled to the silence. “You win this round, but tomorrow…”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I let my promise linger into the night as I stepped back into my apartment.<o:p></o:p></div>

Until July</b></span></span></span></div>
<div align="CENTER" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; page-break-after: auto; page-break-before: auto;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 144%; margin-bottom: 0in; page-break-after: auto; page-break-before: auto;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background: #ffffff; color: #444444;">I
sit up when I see a few bikes in the distance. I don’t recognize
their patches, but that doesn’t surprise me. Tennessee has a huge
MC community, and there are always new clubs popping up all over the
state. I slow down as I close the distance between us.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 144%; margin-bottom: 0in; page-break-after: auto; page-break-before: auto;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background: #ffffff; color: #444444;">The
closer I get, the more details I can make out. The group of about
five bikes in front of me are all Harleys, all ranging in colors from
almost purple to black. None of the men are wearing helmets, which is
the complete opposite of me, who is covered from head to toe in black
leather. Even my helmet is all black, with leather piping.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 144%; margin-bottom: 0in; page-break-after: auto; page-break-before: auto;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background: #ffffff; color: #444444;">I
take the men in, noticing they are all well-built, their leather cuts
displaying a large eagle, with its wings spread wide like it’s
midflight. The talons of the bird are carrying a long stem rose, with
petals falling off it onto their club name, The Broken Eagles. I
begin to speed up and pass them one by one, thankful for the security
of my helmet, the black visor making it impossible to see me.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 144%; margin-bottom: 0in; page-break-after: auto; page-break-before: auto;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background: #ffffff; color: #444444;">I
keep my head straight until the last guy, the one who is at the front
of the group, catches my attention. From the back, his hair is the
first thing I notice. It’s slightly long on top and buzzed on the
sides. My eyes move to the expanse of his back, the wide set of his
shoulders, and the tan skin covering his lean muscles. His bike is
low to the ground, and the bars are in front of him in a way that he
has to stretch his arms straight out, causing every muscle to flex
and move, making it look like the tattoos are alive and dancing.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 144%; margin-bottom: 0in; page-break-after: auto; page-break-before: auto;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background: #ffffff; color: #444444;">My
eyes skim farther down over his chest, which is covered in a white
tank top tucked into a pair of light jeans, and around his waist is a
black belt with a large silver buckle. I continue to pass him, my
eyes shifting from the road to him and back again. This time when I
look over, his head is turned towards me, and if I didn’t know any
better, I would have swear he is looking directly into my soul.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 144%; margin-bottom: 0in; page-break-after: auto; page-break-before: auto;">
<span style="background: #ffffff; color: #444444;">“<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Holy
shit,” I whisper, taking in his hair, the set of his jaw that is
covered in days of stubble, and a pair of light eyes I can’t quite
make out through the tint of my helmet. He is seriously hot, but
equally scary-looking. I look from him back to the road. It must not
have been even a second, but when my eyes go to the asphalt in front
of me, I see a bird that is trying to make its way across the road,
its wing hanging in an awkward position. I swerve to the right just
in time to miss the poor animal.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 144%; margin-bottom: 0in; page-break-after: auto; page-break-before: auto;">
<span style="background: #ffffff; color: #444444;">“<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">What
the fuck?” I hear roared, and I look over my shoulder at the man
who is now coming up quick on my right side. I yell an apology over
the sound of my engine and his pipes. Do a quick wave and take off,
lowering my body and pulling back the throttle, wanting to get away
from them. Dude looks seriously pissed off, and even though I hate
leaving the bird behind without helping it, I would like to live to
see my next birthday.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 144%; margin-bottom: 0in; page-break-after: auto; page-break-before: auto;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background: #ffffff; color: #444444;">I
think I’m in the clear, but then the sound of pipes fills my ears,
and I don’t even know how it happens, but they all catch up with
me, surrounding my bike. I can’t make out what they’re saying,
but my stomach starts to roll at the sound of their voices. I feel my
side to make sure I have the Taser my dad insisted I carry.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 144%; margin-bottom: 0in; page-break-after: auto; page-break-before: auto;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background: #ffffff; color: #444444;">I
see a clearing and pull my bike off to the side of the road. I know
this is probably one of the stupidest things I have ever done, but if
they keep chasing me like they have been, we could all end up
seriously hurt. I pull over and don’t even shut down my bike. I

begins to bang violently against my ribcage as they surround me.</span></span></span></div>

I croak out, and I don’t even know if he hears me as his hand goes
to the collar of my leather jacket, where he shakes me hard. My hand
accidently presses down on the button that ignites the Taser. The
loud crack fills the air, and his eyes go wide then he falls to the

hit something, only to meet the eyes of another man, who looks
pissed.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14px;">For Adriana Monroe life couldn’t get any better. She has great friends, her photography business is booming and she married Alex, her childhood best friend. Life is perfect. It’s a fairy tale really.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 14px;"><strong>But one night changes everything for her.</strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 14px;">Suddenly she’s alone. She’s afraid to trust and afraid to love. Most of all she’s afraid she’s broken beyond repair. Nightmares torment and haunt her every time she closes her eyes.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 14px;"><strong>Will she ever be the same?</strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 14px;">For Tucker Stavros it looks to the outside world like things come easy for him. He’s gorgeous, rich, famous, has a hot girlfriend. Hell, he’s a movie star. If women aren’t trying to get with him then men are wishing they are him. What they don’t see is the broken child hiding behind the smiles he fakes for the cameras. They don’t see the man who wakes up drenched in sweat from his nightmares from a past he can’t escape.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 14px;"><strong>Betrayal sends him running.</strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 14px;">A chance encounter throws Tucker and Adriana together. They try to fight their attraction for each other.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 14px;"><strong>They feel they’re too broken for the other.</strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 14px;">Will they continue to suffer in the hell of dreamland separately or will they find that <em>Waking Up</em> to real life together can be so much sweeter?</span><br />

<div>
<span style="font-size: 14px;">Adriana Monroe had her life planned out. She was going to marry Alex, have a house full of kids, and spend as much time as possible with their friends. But, life had other plans. Life stole Alex from her and Adriana grieved his loss so badly, when she had the chance to love again with Tucker Stavros, she couldn’t do it. She was broken and felt her love for Alex would break Tucker, too. So, she walked away.</span></div>

<br />

<span style="font-size: 14px;">Tucker Stavros has lived his life looking for love. After losing his mom at a young age and being abandoned by his dad, the only love he’s known is from his Grams. His relationships have been disasters. He’s never felt that spark… until he met Adriana Monroe. Everything changed for him the second he saw her smile. He didn’t care that she was grieving. He didn’t care that she was broken. He saw himself in her lost eyes. He would have done anything to make her his. Just when he thought they were becoming something special, she walked out of his life, crushing his heart.</span></div>
<div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: 14px;"><strong>Now, he’s alone, afraid he’ll never find anyone that makes him feel the way he felt for her.</strong></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14px;">Tragedy strikes and Tucker and Adriana find themselves thrown together once more. Will she continue to protect him by staying away, or will she find that her heart will take what it wants? Will Tucker shy away from her, or will he run to her and show her why they belong together? </span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>

<span style="font-size: 20px;"><u><strong>SYNOPSIS</strong></u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 14px;">If I could describe my world in a color, it would be <strong>black</strong>.<br />
My heart is <strong>black.</strong> My mind is <strong>black.</strong> Everything is <strong>black</strong>.</span></div>
<div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: 14px;">I let darkness take over when I was sixteen. That’s when my world fell apart. That’s when I learned Tucker Stavros took my life away from me. I’ve spent years allowing the darkness to comfort me; letting it take my emotions and box them up. Why do I need emotions anyway? They only make me weak. I need to be strong for what needs to be done.</span></div>
<div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: 14px;"><strong>What needs to be done, you ask?</strong></span></div>
<div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: 14px;">That’s simple. Destroy Tucker. Bring him to his knees. Show him how it feels to lose everything.</span></div>
<div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: 14px;">Well, that was the plan, until Cammie Richards walked into my life. Now there are gray areas — slight color bleeding through the black. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 14px;">What happens when she looks<em> beneath my darkness </em>and sees the monster lurking there? Will she run away or try to save me?</span></div>
<div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: 14px;"><strong>How do I tell her I can’t be saved?</strong></span></div>
<div>

<span style="font-size: 14px;">From a young age Renee Dyer had a love of writing, starting with a doodle pad at age four that soon turned into journals and later computer documents. Poetry became short stories and short stories became a novel. Although she's surrounded by males all day having three sons, a husband and a hyperactive chocolate lab, she still finds time to be all woman when she escapes into the fantasy of reading and writing romance. That is, until she needs male perspective and garners eye rolling from her husband. She's a true New Englander. You'll find her screaming profanity at her TV while the Pats play and cuddling under blankets during the cold seasons (which is most of them) reading a good book. To her snow is not a reason to shut things down, only a reason to slow down and admire the beauty. Ask her questions and she'll answer them. She's an open book, pun fully intended.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Maddox is very humorous, smart and full of surprises. He wants to get to know her better and sets out to do so. Oh and let a not forget his famous pet, Sonic!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">First off, the fact that Sonic is a huge part of this story, is not only funny, but truly epic!! Its so different that it's awesome!
