BLURB:
When you fall in-love it’s forever
But sometimes forever comes with a price.
I never meant to meet Nathaniel Teller. It was by
accident, on a Tuesday, that I walked into his bar. He was solemn, intense and
hiding a secret behind those stoic green eyes.
I never intended to fall in-love with him. We were
supposed to be just friends. But I fell for him hard, deep. There’s no turning
back.
I never thought his past would be so dark. And if I
thought I had any chance of being in his future, I was wrong. Because his past
is his future.
And I need to walk away.
EXCERPT
He is about to take a shot. His eyes lose focus, and he
stands and looks at me. “Why him?”
I tilt my head at Nate. I don’t know if they’re reflective
of the green felt of the pool table, but right now, his eyes are so piercing
and mesmerizing. I swear, he can see right through me.
“Why was he worthy of a second date?” he asks.
I open my mouth to answer but close it for fear that I’ll
say something wrong.
Why Brent? Because he’s emotionally available. Because he
has the perfect career and a full head of hair and loves cats and classical
music and is lukewarm to sports.
And, most importantly, because the man I really want to be
interested in me is with someone else.
“He checks all the boxes.” My voice is low.
Nate’s chest rises with a deep breath. His eyes are stone
cold and scorching hot all at once. He is so far away, yet I can feel his
exhale on my skin.
With his eyes still on mine, Nate takes a step back from the
table. “He has a lot of money. He can take care of you.”
I nod my head. “Yes.”
Nate takes a few steps, slow and steady, toward the corner
of the table in my direction. His eyes curve in question, yet their focus never
leaves mine.
“He was married. Probably ready to settle down again. Start
a family.”
I nod again.
Even closer, he places his pool stick on the table. I have
no idea what his mission is, but it’s making my palms sweat and my breathing
erratic.
“Did he tell you that you’re beautiful?”
My breath hitches, and I nod my head again. Nate is now just
a few inches from me. His gaze is hard and stern on mine.
“He’s an idiot. He should have told you that you’re fucking
gorgeous.” His words are hypnotic, but the tone he delivers them in is rough,
raw.
“That wasn’t a requirement. I don’t need a man to tell me
I’m pretty.”
“I know what your boxes are. He is the perfect guy for you.
That’s why I have to know…”
Nate’s chest is now flush with mine, his forehead bowing
down to meet mine, and I lose all air from my lungs.
“Why are you here with me and not with him?”
I swallow hard. “Because he’s not you.”
