www.shhmomsreading.com
Somehow, after everything they’ve been through, Jake Caplin and Charley Redford made their way back
to one another. But finding each other and staying together are two completely different things.
When Charley’s world is flipped upside down, she begins to question the choices and decisions she’s
made since her arrival in Edinburgh, and in an effort to grip onto what she holds most dear she believes
she must sacrifice her love for Jake.
Returning to the States for her senior year, Charley struggles to find peace and happiness. While
everyone else seems to be finding themselves in college, Charley is terrified that, along with almost
everything else that’s important to her, she’s lost herself.
While friends and family deal with their own tumultuous lives, there is one person resolved to uncover
the reason behind Charley’s sudden defection and unhappiness. Refusing to give up without a fight, Jake
believes he is the only one who can truly understand what Charley is going through, and this time he’s
determined to prove he’s there for her no matter what obstacles are thrown in their way.
However, as Charley strives to make it through the biggest personal journey of her life thus far, there is
no guarantee that the woman she is becoming will still need Jake as much as the girl she once was did...
Excerpt
I couldn’t actually dispute any of that, which made me even more pissed, hurt, defensive, scared and … confused.
I started to shiver. “I … I can’t do this.” I turned away.
I hadn’t taken two steps when I felt his hand wrap around my wrist. Jake tugged me, forcefully, pulling me around so I stumbled into his chest. His lips crashed down on mine, his kiss hungry, desperate, angry …
For a moment I forgot everything else but the hard pressure of his mouth on mine, the smell of his cologne, the feel of his body. I was surrounded.
Drowning.
And I let it happen.
His lips moved from my mouth to my chin, along my jaw, as his hand slid up my waist, his thumb just grazing my breast. I sighed, my body arching into his. I was hot. Hot and wanting. Nothing else mattered but the way I felt when he touched me.
His voice was ragged in my ear. “I’ve missed you so much. I love you so fucking much.” He squeezed my waist and pulled me closer, his mouth reaching for mine again but those three little words had broken through the spell of lust created by Jake’s proximity and the four beers I’d had.
“Stop,” I whispered, pushing gently on his chest.
