~ Synopsis ~

This book has spoilers in it if you haven't read the By A Thread series yet, you may not want to read the synopsis. This is a companion book to that series and I highly suggest reading it first.

Have you ever been involved in an epic love story where you wound up alone? Have you devoted yourself so completely to someone that you lost yourself in their abyss? Patrick Greer spent the past five years revolving around El. He fought like hell to not feel the emotions for her that were hidden deep in his gut, until he couldn't anymore. He was so sure of them, of her, of what they were to each other, until he wasn't. Patrick couldn't even imagine the things he'd done for her, with her and to her. El broke him. He was a liar, a friend, a lover, a fixer, a runner and a killer. Now he had to figure out who he was without her.
*There are adult situations, tons of cussing and you may enjoy this book with an adult beverage.

~ Excerpt ~

"So, that's exciting," Billy said as soon as El was out of the room, staring at Patrick.

"I know, right?!" Millie was still squealing.

"Why are you still yelling?" Patrick asked.

Millie's face transformed from bright to dark. "Because it’s fucking exciting to have a best friend engaged, asshole."

Billy cleared his throat. "Beer?" He held one out to Patrick.

Patrick snatched it. "Thanks."

"What's your problem?" Millie asked.

"No problem, I just figured if anyone would be that excited, it would be El, and she's not squealing like a twelve-year-old girl."

Intervening before the fight spiraled into a screaming match, Billy handed Millie a beer, too. He put his arm around Millie and moved her to the den, away from Patrick. "You know men like Patrick don't really get the big deal with engagements or marriage. I'm sure he's excited in his own way."

"The really annoying way?" Millie asked as she sat on the couch, pouting.

"Exactly. The really annoying way," Billy agreed, looking at Patrick in warning.

Patrick rearranged his face and joined them in the den. "Look, I'm excited for them, it’s just, I'm not the one engaged, and even if I was, I don't think I'd squeal.” He smiled. “Can you do it again so I can see how it’s done?"

"No, asshole, I’ll never squeal again." Millie refused to look at him.

"Hmmm, I think that is a challenge I’ll accept." Patrick raised an eyebrow at Millie.

Billy turned on Madden and began playing.

"What do you mean you accept?" Millie asked.

"The challenge to make you squeal commences in," he looked at his watch, "three hours."

Her eyes showed her understanding, and she looked from Patrick to Billy and back, like he was crazy. "Patrick…"

"Really, Mil? You know he hears you already, right? This will just be a different noise. Fair warning, Billy, there will be squealing tonight." With that, Patrick walked outside to check the meat he was grilling.

Fuck. She's getting married and I have to be happy.
