~ Synopsis ~
I
knew the exact moment I’d become a ‘yes’ girl.
December 16th, a cold winter’s night, four years ago.
The night my innocence was stolen, the night I made the mistake of saying no—a
mistake I’d never make again.
The dream of a ‘happily ever after' was now a locked away myth. I promised
myself that I’d never return to the place of my worst nightmare, that I’d never
let anyone get close, but then again, I never thought I’d meet someone like
him.
The intense, confident and beautiful Ky Crawford.
I had no plans to become someone’s Prince Charming.
I couldn’t be. I refused to be. My plan was simple—do whatever it takes to
correct my biggest mistake, my one regret that now controlled my life.
I was on track. I had plans, but then everything changed when I saw her—the
girl in the red jacket, the girl who I was told couldn’t say no.
The reserved yet stunning Eden Rivers.
A girl who can’t say
no.
A guy who craves
redemption.
A chance encounter?
It
all comes down to this.
One question.
One month.
Be My December?
~ Excerpt ~
Everything
happened so quickly. My hand encased hers, entwining our fingers in a
protective move I couldn’t put into words. I didn’t stick around to hear
anything else Nick decided to spit. I tugged on our joined hands and she,
without question, followed me though the crowd towards the far corner of the
bar where we were still close enough to the action yet able to be hidden from
the fuckwit likes of Nick Edwards. My mind raced about what I could possibly
say to explain my irrational actions. Since when had I become some knight in
shining armor?
When
we reached our refuge, I halted and dropped her hand. The moment I stepped
back, I collided with a hard wall of Josh’s body, and over my shoulder, I found
Josh staring at me with wide eyes. I tore my eyes from Josh and turned to find
Eden, her friend, and Ashlyn awaiting my next move.
“Do
something, dickhead. All eyes are on you after that little performance. You
don’t go caveman and grab your woman and then just stand beside her like
she’s a stranger.”
Josh
was right. I looked back towards the corner of the bar and wasn’t surprised to
find Nick and his crew watching with knowing smirks on their faces. Fuck. I had
two choices. I could walk away right now, leave the bar knowing that I had done
a good deed, and hope to Christ that she could take care of herself, or I could
man the fuck up and finish what I’d started.
I
pulled Eden firmly against me, wrapping my arms tightly around her waist so her
back was flush with my chest. Resting my chin on her shoulder, I couldn’t help
but notice how well her body molded to mine. She still hadn’t said a word. Her
body was rigid in my arms, and after I heard her inhale sharply, she now held
her breath.
“You’ve
got to breathe,” I whispered into her ear.
Once
again, she simply nodded. She trembled like a leaf in a hurricane against me.
Her hands finally clutched my bare forearms, which were resting over her
stomach. Her nails dug into my flesh, sending a shot of pain up through my
arms, but I didn’t say a thing.
Her
body wouldn’t stop trembling, and without hesitation, my grip tightened, trying
desperately to pull her body closer to mine. She was completely breaking down
in my arms and I didn’t know what the fuck to do, so I did what I hoped would
calm her down.
I
held on to her for dear life.
