EXCERPT:
We step off the elevator, and as we round the corner, I slam into a hard body plated in a butter-soft suit. I fumble my brand-new tablet but clutch it to my chest before it leaves my grasp. My stylus, however, bounces off a polished black shoe.
“Oh, I’m so sor—” My heart skips several times like a stone on water as I inhale the familiar men’s cologne.
Memories rain down in a torrent.
Jarrod fresh from the shower.
My face pressed against his throat, my shins against his abs, his arms around me.
“It’s you and me, Birdie. It’ll always be you and me.”
The apology catches in my throat. It’s a coincidence. It has to be.
I follow the floral tie with a hungry bee and the hint of a bird wing that disappears inside his suit jacket, up to his throat, and then higher.
My heart seizes.
It’s been eight years since I’ve seen his face. Eight years since I pulled him out of that wrecked car and took the blame for something that shouldn’t have happened in the first place, if only we’d made a different choice that night. Eight years since I took the fall for him and he left me with nothing but a letter telling me he was done. I spent six of those years hating him for abandoning me, like everyone else in my life had. I’ve spent the last two wishing I could erase his memory like pencil lines.
And here he is, even more gorgeous than he was all those years ago. The softness of fresh adulthood morphed into a harsh landscape of masculine beauty.
The devil in a suit.
The boy of my dreams has turned into the man of my nightmares.
I meet his gaze, and fire lances down my spine.
No remorse.
No apology.
Not even a flicker of emotion.
Just passive indifference.
The man who crushed my already ruined heart has finally returned. And I’m certain he’s here to shatter what’s left.
