After
nearly a year and a half of grieving the loss of her husband, twenty-seven year
old Alexa Sullivan Tate is headed back to her hometown after a decade of being
away. She has no idea her high school crush, Jace McAllister, the guy who stole
her heart the same night that he broke it, is more than ready to pick up the
pieces.
Jace has
spent the last ten years in the Army defusing bomb after bomb, trying to forget
the girl who ignited all his passions. Little does he know that the spark still
exists.
Ten years
ago they had smoldering chemistry, but the spark between them now might light a
fuse that leads to an explosion even Jace can't stop. Not that he wants to. If
only Alexa can get past her guilt and trust her heart again.
But how
do you put it all on the line when you've already lost everything once before?

~ Excerpt ~
I
nod, and she makes her way down the hall that I now see is lined with
photographs. My stomach tightens, but I figure that I need to get this over
with if I’m going to be staying here. I walk towards them, stopping at the
first picture. I’m guessing it’s from the day they first met, the time she told
me about, because she’s giving him a playful frown while he’s grinning at her
like he’s already half in love with her, which, to be honest, he probably was.
I feel a slight twinge as I take in the picture, knowing that at that moment he
had no idea how short of a life he was going to have with her. Hell, he
probably wouldn’t have even cared, as long as he had her while he could.
Shaking the thought out of my head, I
browse each one. There are candid shots of them mixed throughout professional
ones from events such as her graduation, Sierra and Jeremy’s wedding, and what
looks like an engagement party. As I pass each picture, it’s becoming more real
to me that she had a whole separate life before we reconnected. Strangely, I’m
not bothered by it, seeing how happy she looks in these pictures, even though
it was with another man and not me. I’ll admit that I was a little worried when
she told me about their fighting, but looking at these pictures? I know Ty made
her a happy woman, and I’m grateful that she had that while she could. Do I
wish it had been me? Fuck yes, but what can you do?
Coming to the last picture, I’m breathless
as the image of Alexa in a wedding dress enters my vision. I’m moving in for
closer inspection when she comes out of her room, stopping when she catches me.
Her hand covers her mouth as she closes her eyes for a split second. She
swallows hard before walking towards me. She reaches out her hand as if to
touch my arm before pulling it back, obviously thinking better of it.
“Jace,
I… This is probably awkward, I’m sorry. I just… I wasn’t expecting you, and I
don’t…” She trails off as she stares at the wall, glancing at the picture
before turning her eyes towards the floor.
~ About the Author ~
I'm a twenty six
year old book junkie who is also obsessed with sports. Bengals, Buckeyes, Reds
are my teams! I work for the government during the day, hang out with Air
National Guard on the weekends, and am married to a guy 15 inches taller than
me. We're quite the pair! We currently live right outside of Dayton, OH with
our two cats.
I've been reading
since I was a kid. My mom was a librarian, so it was a given. Heck, she even
made sure we watched Wishbone instead of the Smurfs. In 2011 when I graduated
from college, my mom bought me a Nook, and then in the summer of 2012 I found
this amazing site called Goodreads. I was introduced to so many amazing
indie/self-published authors. After reading almost 400 books that year, my
husband gave me the push to finally sit down and write my own. It was a rocky
start, but over time the words started flowing and I couldn't get Jace and Lexi
out of my head.
If I’m not writing
or looking through tons of photos of hot men, all in the name of research, then
you can probably find me curled up with my Kindle, ignoring the rest of the
world. I love my sports almost as much as I love my books. My other obsessions
include red wine, hot men, country music, and all things Grace Potter.
