Fate took Cassandra down a path she never expected. Then a small town in Colorado gave her exactly what she needed—until tragedy left her heartbroken and devastated. Alone with only her child and her memories, Cassie struggled to put her life back together, one day at a time, piece by piece. Finding love again was something she never thought possible. That was, until she ran into an unlikely stranger who flipped her entire world on its axis. Aidan had a secret locked away in his heart; one that would surely send Cassie running the second she discovered it. He held onto her closely and kept his secret guarded, but one careless mistake could reveal all. Their friendship was strong, their moments beautiful, and the love that brewed between them intense—something neither denied. The only problem? Cassie was slowly letting him into her life. Could she let herself get close to the one person she didn’t think she should? Her mind tells her to run, but her heart tells her to stay.Add to Goodreads
Excerpt
Chapter 1 – One Year Ago
Dan
My hand shot left
and landed on the alarm clock, silencing its incessant beeping. There was no
point even setting it. I’d been awake for hours, anyway, but inside my nerves
were having a hay day. Heartbeats thudded against my chest as I sucked in deep
breaths trying to calm myself.
“Fuck it,” I muttered,
kicking my heavy comforter off.
I swung my legs
over the edge of the bed and ran a hand through my messy morning hair. My eyes
traveled to the phone on my nightstand. I picked it up, sent a quick message to
my brother, then tossed it beside me on the bed and made my way to the kitchen
in nothing but my boxers. After dumping coffee grinds into the maker and
setting the machine to brew, I braced my arms against the white countertop and stared
down mindlessly while I waited. Your brain knew when something was important.
It wouldn’t let you think of anything else. It was all-consuming. Today, it
might just be the death of me.
I filled my lucky
Denver Bronco’s mug and paced my way through the house. Wearing a path in the
floor was the only thing slowing my thoughts. I downed a few sips and stopped
in front of a tall bookshelf. A covered box containing all my letters from Jase
was nestled there.
It had started out
as a joke, but neither of us could stop writing. I told him I had a mailbox at
college and then every week I had a letter waiting for me. And every week I’d
write him back. I saved them all. His latest had me smiling hard. He was happy.
Really happy—thanks to her. I needed to
meet that girl. My eyes caught a glimpse of the clock; it was nearly time.
I took a shower
and slipped on a pair of worn jeans, a plain tee, and my Nikes. Sucking in a
deep breath, I grabbed my keys and left, bracing myself for the day
ahead.
I
was only an hour into my drive when the red engine light caught my eye. It came
on every once in a while, so I pushed it to the back of my mind. My foot
pressed a little harder on the gas pedal. As the needle on the speedometer
crept higher, a new light on the dashboard lit up. And then it happened—my car
started to shut down. “Fuck.” I banged my fist at the wheel as the car slowed.
But no amount of banging or cursing helped. I veered to the shoulder of the
highway, dodging car after car. Finally, the piece of crap stopped dead.
“No, no, no. Don’t
do this to me now.” I pounded the steering wheel again, ready to beat it to
death. “Not today. Damn it!” I reached for my phone in the cup holder, dialed
the number for Triple A, and within minutes the rep said a tow truck would be
on its way. Estimated time of forty-five minutes. Great.
It was too
important of a day to be starting out like this. I only prayed things turned
around.
