One year ago, the
boy next door was captured as a prisoner of war.
The boy whose
window faces mine.
The backyard
buddy who bandaged up my skinned knees.
The childhood
crush that kept me up at night, wondering if he’d ever be my boyfriend.
The town hero I
wrote endless letters to after he shipped out.
The green-eyed
charmer who promised me a kiss the day I turned eighteen.
And now, he’s
home.
But he didn’t
come back as the boy I once knew.
He’s a man now,
one with demons I can’t comprehend.
The damaged
soldier keeps telling me I’m not his anymore.
That the war took
him, turned him into someone unrecognizable.
What he hasn’t
considered is that it took me, too.
He swears there
is nothing left between us, that his heart died overseas. But with each look
through our windows, we both know his lies are just that. With each fated
meeting, the truth only becomes more evident.
Everett Brock
occupies the shadows now.
And as much as I
try to pull him into the light, it seems the switch is permanent.
What he doesn’t
realize is that I’m willing to follow him into the darkness.
Excerpt:
“Perfect. You are
perfect.” He breathes onto my lips.
It’s only a split
second that Everett pulls back, but in no time, we’re seeking each other out,
our mouths clawing to get back to one another.
And as we
continue this torrid make-out session, born of passion and anger and fate, I
know it for a fact now.
Everett Brock has
ruined me for any other man.
About the Author:
Author of romance
novels such as The Tenth Girl and Privileged, Carrie Aarons writes books that
are just as swoon-worthy as they are sarcastic. A former journalist, she
prefers the love stories of her imagination, and the athleisure dress code,
much better.
When she isn't
writing, Carrie is busy binging reality TV, having a love/hate relationship
with cardio, and trying not to burn dinner. She’s a Jersey girl living in Texas
with her husband, daughter and furry son.
