~
When love became too much for
Danielle Hamilton, she did what she does best—she ran. Now, three months later
Dani realized the mistake she made. A lot can change though, in a short amount
of time and now there’s an unavoidably factor in her life that will change
everything. Will Dani be able to save the only good she’s ever known? Can she
fight for the love she wants—or is it just too little too late?
Corey has spent the last
several months missing the only woman he’s ever wanted, but things aren’t about
to get any easier. When demons from Corey’s past rise to the surface, he is put
in the middle of something he thought was laid to rest. When drugs, money and
an ex that wants to stir up trouble—returns to the picture—
Corey will be left fighting
for his life. Will he be able to protect the only person he loves from a
dangerous world she knows nothing about? Or will his past claim his life and
inevitably…His heart.
Sometimes fate has its own ideas
but will that be the end for Corey and Dani? Or will their fight for love
prevail?

~ Excerpt ~
“What the hell are you doing outside, Danielle!?
Are you trying to get yourself sick?” Even though he was scolding me and
I had no idea what he had been doing, I couldn’t hide the smile when I saw him.
“I was waiting for you,” I answered, as I walked
toward him.
He shrugged out of the sweatshirt he was wearing
and slid it over my head, leaving my arms to find their own way through the
sleeves.
“Let’s go inside before you catch pneumonia.”
No! I couldn’t. At least not yet! This was where I had
my epiphany! I couldn’t go inside and lose my way now that I had finally found
it.
“Not yet! I have to tell you something.”
He grabbed my arm and began pulling me towards
the door, but I shook free. “Let’s talk in the house, baby.”
“No! Corey, I’m not going anywhere until
you listen to me.”
His face looked panicked as his eyes darted from
the falling rain, to the house and back to his waiting car.
He shook his head and grabbed hold of my arms
and brought my face close to his. “Damn it, Danielle! Please, come inside with
me.”
My hands pressed against his chest as I shook my
head furiously back and forth. Strands of my soaking wet hair whipped my
face but I didn’t care.
“No! Here! I love you, Corey.” The
words weren’t new to hear, but the confession was one that shook me to my core.
My heart leapt from my chest and the butterflies in my stomach fluttered
a beautiful dance of joy.
“I love you too, Dani,” Corey rushed out.
“I’ve finally realized that the rest of it
doesn’t matter. You’re hiding things from me and I know that there is
another woman that you’re helping. It’s driving me crazy, Corey.
Today it nearly broke me to come here and realize the moment I needed
you—you were with her. So, I’m here to tell you this - whatever is
wrong with your past, I’m going to go through it with you. Me and little
Bean are your future, Corey, and together we will survive it all! Just
let me in and stop hiding things from me, Corey. And … .marry me!”
The words slipped out. It was a thought in my
mind, but this wasn’t in the plan for the way I wanted it to go. Now that
it was out in the open, there was no way I was taking it back. The words
sounded like a symphony leaving my mouth and my heart was pounding, waiting for
his response.
Corey’s eyes shot up with shock at my words.
“What?” I couldn’t help but giggle, as I curled my fingers into his shirt.
“Marry me, Corey. Let’s fight this
together. Whatever’s going on—I want to do it all with you. Let’s
make this right, baby! Marry me, Corey Preston!”
I stared up at my destiny and felt pure ecstasy!
That man was my drug and I was going to fight like hell to keep that
feeling surging forever.
When I finally looked into his face, I expected
to see the same heavenly emotions behind those blue eyes that I was obsessed
with. My heart stopped. Staring back at me was my answer and it was
the one people popping the question dreaded receiving. I saw nothing but
soul shattering agony as he furrowed his brows at me, never releasing my arms.
Something in my gut said to accept it, walk back inside right now, and go
to bed. Pretend this moment never happened. But I couldn’t. I was
growing hysterical and there was nothing that could stop that!
“Corey! Answer me! Marry me, Corey!
Please! Tell me you’ll marry me!”
Confliction over something showed in his
expression, but I just couldn’t stop. This was my Corey, the same one
that promised to be with me forever. The same one that loved me more than
everyone I’ve ever known—combined! He couldn’t be turning me away!
Please, Lord, don’t let him leave!
I wished for inspiration from the stars that
were covered by a blanket of darkness.
“Say something!” I pleaded with him.
“Danielle, I love you. You know I do!” My
teeth bit down hard on my lip to keep the trembling steady while I waited for
him to finish. “But, Dani …” There was no reason given that made me ready
to let go of what we had.
“But what Corey? I thought you wanted
more? You said you wanted this family!”
“I do!” he said. Even without him saying it the
word, a large but hung in the air between us.
“So what is stopping you from saying yes?!” I
pressed on.
“It’s just not the … right time.” He struggled
to get anything out, but I took hold of every single word, pause and hesitation
and committed it to memory.
“How could it not be the right time? Are you
serious?! We’re having a baby together! You asked if we should move into
our own place! Am I seriously reading the signals between us that
poorly??”
“No, of course you’re not!” I pulled him closer
to me and locked my eyes with his so he would no longer be able to avoid what
was staring him in the face.
“Then answer my question, Corey! Will you
marry me!?”
His Adam’s apple bobbed as fresh tears sprung
from his eyes, mixing with the pouring rain. “I can’t.”
