~ Synopsis ~
Four years
ago, my dreams were shattered in an instant.
Three months
ago, I found something I haven’t had in years.
Hope.
That hope came
in the form of a sexy, carefree hockey player named Brody Murphy. He swooped in
and won me over with his big heart and the way he cared for me…and my girls.
When they look at him, they see the father they’ve never had.
Now, my past
and present are colliding and the outcome might just be too much for me to
bear. Can I make the right decision when I’ve spent my whole life making the
wrong ones?
~ Excerpt ~
My running shoes echoed
as they squeaked against the cold tile floor while I walked quickly through the
hallway connecting the main building to the emergency room wing. I was so lost
in my thoughts about timing and the irony of my life that I didn’t notice the
big, wooden door to my right swing open until Zach had grabbed my arm and
pulled me inside.
“Get the hell off me!” I
snapped, jerking my arm free.
He pushed me into the
janitorial closet and closed the door behind him, blocking it so I couldn’t
leave.
“Was that them?” His
face was panicked, his dark brown eyes drilled into mine.
“Was that who?” I
responded, irritation dripping from my words.
“Them. At the table . .
. our girls.”
My eyes widened as I
fought the urge to lunge forward and strangle him with my bare hands. “They’re my
girls, not yours,” I spat at him through clenched teeth.
“That was them, wasn’t
it?” His voice was gentle.
“No, genius, I was
having lunch with some other random six-year-old twins. Get out of my way.”
He crossed his arms
across his chest and stood firm. “Why won’t you talk to me?”
“Why?” I yelled
incredulously. “I can think of five years’ worth of reasons. Now move it!”
“Kacie, please. I have
so much to explain.” He took a step toward me, causing me to instinctively back
up against the shelves of cleaning supplies behind me. “Can we meet up after
work today? Just to talk? I’ll buy you a cup of coffee.”
“Coffee? You abandoned
us for five years and you want to buy me fucking coffee?” My heart was pounding
so hard I thought I might die of a heart attack right there. I grabbed onto the
hem at the bottom of my scrubs so that I didn’t reach out and punch him in his
damn mouth.
“I just want to talk to
you. Please?” he begged with sad, pathetic eyes.
“Sure, we can talk—in
five years!” I rushed past him and pushed the door open. “Eye for an eye,
asshole!” I called back before the door closed.
See where it all began……..
