Synopsis
I met Sarah Kate Erickson when I was 21
years old. I was lucky enough to keep her for seven years before a tragic
accident stole her from me. She didn’t die, but sometimes I think it would have
been easier if she had.
I lived in a haze for those four years
after the accident. Catering to her every need, even though she hated the very
sight of my face. I tried to hold on to her and the future that we were
supposed to build together. But you can’t hold on to someone that doesn’t exist
anymore.
It wasn’t until I met Jesse Addison, a
barista at the local coffee shop, that I realized I didn’t just lose Sarah that
tragic night, I lost myself as well. Jesse taught me how to let go of the past
and learn to love again. But what happens when your past haunts your present
and the woman you used to love refuses to accept the woman you can’t live
without?
Excerpt
I met Sarah
Kate Erickson seven years ago during a chance meeting at the local library. We
were both reaching for the same William Shakespeare Collection. Our hands
brushed, sparks flew, and it was love at first sight. We dated for three years,
got married, and had sex for the very first time on our wedding night. Well, at
least that is the story she made me promise to tell our future
children.
The truth is
that, I met Sarah in a bar while she was approximately one drop of alcohol away
from spending the night praying to the porcelain gods. She had on some
ridiculously tight red dress and the tallest pair of black fuck-me heels I had
ever seen. It was whore-tastic, but damn, she looked amazing. She was already
tall for a woman, but in those cock-hardening shoes, she towered over the other
women. Her friends were dressed in similarly sexy and in somewhat coordinating
outfits. A collaborative effort that was no doubt on purpose.
I watched as
she asked for another drink from the bartender who stood staring at her
partially exposed breasts for a beat too long. She reached across the bar,
pushed one finger under his chin, and guided his gaze back to her eyes while
she ordered drinks. She then turned and leaned her elbows behind her, propping
herself up on the bar, and effectively thrusting her barely covered breasts
into the face of every man in the room. It was then I knew I needed to meet
them...I mean her...I had to meet her.
Sure, staring
at her was probably creepy as hell, but I just couldn't take my eyes off her.
As cheesy as it sounds, there was just something about the tall blonde that
commanded my attention. It didn't hurt that I got an insta-hard on when I thought
about those long legs wrapped around my waist. Okay, so maybe staring wasn't
the only creepy part.
About the Author
I’m a 32 year
old wife and stay at home mom to four kids under the age of five, including a
set of twins. My life is crazy, which is probably why I drink entirely too much
wine. Oh who am I kidding, I had a love affair with wine long before the kids
came along. I was born and raised in Savannah Georgia, but we recently moved to
Chicago. Let me tell you, this southern girl was not ready
for the cold weather up here!
I’m an avid
reader, but I haven’t always been that way. A few years ago my sister loaned me
her Nook Color, and it changed my life forever. In the span of about two years,
I read over 500 books. My newfound love of reading led me to start a book blog
with two of my best friends. (Insert shameless plug here:
WhiteZinBookends.com). Through WZ Bookends, I've had the opportunity to meet
some of the most amazing authors, bloggers, and readers out there. Now that I
have taken the leap into writing my own book, they’ve all shown me endless
amounts of encouragement and support.
While driving
home from Walmart one day in late October, a story embedded itself in my head
and would not let go. It spiraled out of control until I finally opened my
laptop and started writing. This journey has been a wild ride filled with
tears, hand cramps, and tons of laughs. I love company, so follow me at one of
the social links below and join me aboard this crazy train!
