BOOK SUMMARY
When it all comes crashing down...
Everything I thought I had with Austin Murphy—safety, stability, the normalcy I crave but my celebrity lifestyle rarely allows—was ripped away in one night. I wanted to surprise him, but the joke was on me. Now I don't know if I ever really knew him at all.
Someone has to pick up the pieces...
Mackenzie Forbes was everything I ever wanted and the one person I didn't deserve. When a past mistake costs me the girl I love, I'll do everything I can to get her back. We both have demanding careers and family secrets darkening our pasts, but I need Mackenzie in my future.
Sometimes everything you have to give just isn't enough...
Excerpt
Our lips touched, and she melted
against me, all soft and supple and needy. And, shit, I needed her too. More
than she’d ever realize. I yanked her on top of me, my lips moving over hers
the whole time. She rested her hand on my chest, fisting my T-shirt, and moaned
into my mouth.
We made perfect sense, she and I.
We fit together and made each other better. She made me better more than I
improved her, but still. We were good for each other, and I’d never make the
same rookie mistake I’d made before by opening up to someone over a bottle of
Jack. Or getting drunk in public again.
Even though most of that night was
still a blur, I knew one thing for sure—I hadn’t cheated on my girl. No matter
how worried I might be about shit, I had to believe I wouldn’t have done that
to her. I had to.
If she ever doubted anything in
this world, she shouldn’t doubt this.
Us.
She pulled back, and I groaned, my
fingers flexing in her hair. “Mac...please. I need you. I need you so damn
much. Don’t pull away.”
“But—”
“I know I fucked up, and I know we
have to deal with it. But tonight, just tonight, can we remember how much we
love each other?” I ran my thumb over her lower lip. It was moist and swollen
from my kisses. “Can you let me love you?”
For a second, I thought she’d pull
away. I even felt her start to. But then she stopped, her eyes locked on mine.
This close, I could see the tiny gold flecks that no one else saw. I could see
everything she was feeling because of me, because of what I’d done, and it
scared the hell out of me.
So I kissed her again, and I prayed
like hell she wouldn’t pull away, because if she did, then we were over.
Completely, utterly over.
And I couldn’t handle that.
