Ricochet by Jessica Wilde
Title: Ricochet Author: Jessica Wilde Genre: Romantic Suspense Release Date: February 23, 2015 Release Day Blitz: February 25, 2015
Fear.
It's the last thing I remembered.
I was afraid.
Afraid to fight, afraid to run… afraid to breathe.
Then, everything had gone dark. As if life was finally hearing my pleas, my cries to end the torment. To end the fear.
But even in the dark, I still felt it.
I always felt it.
My life had been a ricochet of one event leading to the next. Bouncing back and forth from good to bad. Happiness to despair. Hope to fear.
My name is Arianna West. I'm stronger now. Steady. Alive.
I can find a way to survive on my own. I can see what is coming for me. I can channel my fear into strength.
Except… I didn't see Jack.
And Jack changed everything.
For readers 18+ due to language, violence, and sexual content.
PLEASE CHOOSE 1 of the excerpts:
#1
I laughed. A laugh so deep that the muscles in my abdomen flexed. How long had it been since I had felt that? Too long. I hadn't really laughed in a long time and something so simple had brought it out of me.
Jack had brought it out of me.
"God, I missed that laugh," Jack whispered.
I went silent, so suddenly that my breath couldn't keep up and it came rushing out with the emotion that had been built up inside of me.
Tears immediately sprang to my eyes and the heaviness in my chest was back.
My life had changed so much. Everything had changed.
"Jack..."
"Ari, please don't cry."
He had turned his body towards me and was holding my face in his hands. The tears running down my cheeks didn't make it far. He wiped each one away.
He saw the moment my control slipped and I just couldn't seem to stop the tears. That's when he pulled me into his arms. Arms that had always made everything better. Strong fingers combed through my hair, down my temple, across my jaw, then retraced their way back up and into my hair once more. He was giving me whatever comfort he could while I sobbed on his chest.
I should have been embarrassed about the quick change in my mood. I should have felt ridiculous. Childish. With Jack, though, I never had to worry about being anyone but myself no matter who I was now.
"So much is gone," I said in a broken and weak voice. "So much is missing from me."
"No, Ari. You're still in there, babe, just a little harder to reach."
I shook my head. In denial? I wasn't sure. He was only half right.
"I've bent too far for too long. I'm broken," I whispered. So much regret came pouring out of me and I couldn't control it.
I had been slowly breaking for three years and my determination to move on was waning much faster than I could ever keep up with.
Jack buried his fingers in my hair and I felt the press of his lips on the top of my head. When he spoke, the tone of his voice sounded defeated. Resigned. "The world breaks everyone, and afterward, many are strong at the broken places."
I sniffed as the rumble in his chest vibrated against my cheek. His shirt was wet from my tears and I knew I looked like a mess, but I looked up at him anyway.
"What is that from?" I asked.
"What? You don't think I could come up with something so profound by myself?" he teased.
"I know damn well you could, Jack."
He looked at me for a moment, his eyes searching mine and his fingers sweeping a lock of hair back behind my ear. If I didn't know any better, I would think he was reading my mind, seeing all my secrets, all my broken places. "It's Ernest Hemingway. He said that."
"Do you believe it?"
"I do. So much so that I tattooed it on my shoulder the first chance I got," he mumbled with a short chuckle.
I glanced down at his shoulder. It was too dark to see much of anything, but the moonlight streaming in the window showed enough when he lifted his shirt sleeve. The words were there, permanently inked into his skin just above a complex shape that I couldn't quite make out.
Or #2
"No, Jack. It's over now, it doesn't matter. I don't have the ability to focus on that part of my life. I've got too many other things to take care of before I go back to being... well, a woman that just wants to be loved." "Ari, I -" "Let me finish," I said sharply and held my hand up in between us. He shut his mouth and nodded. "I know I should be grateful for what I had and I have no one to blame but myself for the decisions I made, but that doesn't stop me from wanting to be that woman. Every woman just wants to find that kind of love, that kind of companionship, but I'm not like them anymore." Jack's frown deepened and I could see that he wanted to argue.

I live in Morgan Utah with my husband, daughter, and dog, Kolo. I write as often as my active daughter will let me and my husband has the patience of a saint. I find inspiration from dreams, people I meet, and life experiences. When I write, I usually end up drinking one too many cans of Peace Tea, eating three too many Fruit by the Foot fruit snacks, and accidently kicking my pup and best buddy, Kolo, too many times since he loves to sleep under my desk at my feet.
I started writing as a teen, but my fear of the unknown won out every time and I threw everything out. After becoming a mother and deciding to stay at home to raise my beautiful little girl, I tried again when I couldn't stop thinking of ideas. I loved every minute, every hour of sleep lost, and every character that came to life in my mind.
It's strange, but my favorite moments are when I have writer's block because I can turn to my husband and find inspiration through him by just doing what we do best together. Talking, laughing, and just being in love. He doesn't like to read, but he never stops encouraging me to keep going.
Writing has become an important part of my life and every book has a special place in my heart.

Excerpt #1
“Yeah. That’s one way to put it. Is there
something else you called for besides trying to stick your nose in where it
doesn’t belong?”
I open my
mouth and then shut it, unsure how calling him because I just needed to hear
his voice has devolved so quickly into this. Into me scrambling for words I
can’t find to fix shit that doesn’t need fixing.
Because I
don’t want this. Don’t want him.
“Well
then, if you want to actually talk instead of pull this ridiculous bullshit,
I’m here for you…but Had…? Whatever this is here…this passive aggressive crap?
I don’t do too well with that. We had our one night. You made it quite clear
you didn’t want anything more than that so you don’t get to call me up and
question what I might or might not be doing with anybody else. You want no
strings? Then cut the ties…but frankly I don’t think you know what the fuck you
want so until you figure your shit out, I think it’s best that we say good
night before we make a bad situation even worse.”
“Wait!” Desperation rings in my voice in the
single word. And I hate myself for sounding like this but I’m so lonely, so
scared and just want the comfort I know he can bring me right now.
I wait
for the sound of the dial tone to assault my ears. Wait for the incessant beep
that reaffirms why I have barbed wire wrapped around my heart – painful but
necessary. But there is nothing for a few moments until I hear the phone scrape
against the stubble on his face.
And I
wait…my throat burning with the tears I want to shed but am so sick of. The
ones that no longer bring me comfort.
“I’m
here, Haddie. I’m not going anywhere, okay?” The timbre of his voice carries
his concern and sympathy to me through the line.
The
incoherent sound I make is all I can offer in thank you to him for not hanging
up on me. For not giving up on me.
Cover & Book Summary
ONE NIGHT. THAT'S ALL IT WAS
SUPPOSED TO BE.
Reeling from the sudden loss of her
sister, Haddie Montgomery has sworn off relationships. All she wanted from
Beckett Daniels was a sexy distraction to help her escape her pain for just a
little while....There weren’t supposed to be any strings attached—so why can’t
she shake the memory of that unforgettable night from her thoughts? Or the
taste of his kiss from her lips?
No matter how hard Haddie tries to forget
about him, Becks relentlessly tries to prove that she should start living for
today. But she is determined to avoid romantic commitment, and she can always
use her ex-boyfriend’s reappearance to help snuff out the slow burn within her that Becks has sparked....
Or will fate force her to realize that
this kind of connection doesn’t come along very often and a chance at love is
worth the risk?
