Synopsis:
“I loved her and she left. Maybe I wasn’t enough. Maybe I’ll
never be enough.” I’ve been thinking these words since before we even got
together.
Everything is new. The old no longer has a place here.
Physical items are easy to replace. I'm constantly battling the ones that
aren't.
Every thought and memory I have is stained.
By you.
You weren't even there for half of them.
How is she still present even though she left?
I can do this. I’m going to survive losing her.
*** This is the second book of the His Series, and it DOES
end with a cliffhanger. The final book of the His Series, Finding Me, will
release June 1, 2015***

Excerpt:
“Dude, you’ve got to get up.” Jameson sighs as I pull the
pillow back over my head. I don’t even know what day it is anymore. I don’t
care.
What adds salt to my wounds is the fact that the world keeps
turning. People continue waking up and going about their day. The sun rises and
sets. I hear kids laugh and play, neighbors greet one another, and birds sing,
and all the while I wonder how? How does the entire world appear to be
surviving this nightmare of losing her?
****
Hank comes to visit in June. I still haven’t heard from Ace,
and yet I’m still staying at my mom’s. I can’t leave. I can’t go back to that
house. I’d moved rooms shortly after she left, and now reside in the guest room
on the main floor. It’s better this way. There aren’t any pictures of her in
here or random memories, like the one of her sitting on my bean bag chair when
I was sick last summer. I also don’t have to face the window that looks out
onto hers.
Hank knows that I know mom sent for him, hoping that he’d be
able to “help” me. She of all people should know that having Hank around isn’t
going to help me. He’s fucking married to the love of his life; he doesn’t have
a fucking clue about the shit that I’m going through.
Of all things, Hank wants to go camping. I’m sure he thinks
that getting away will help. He doesn’t understand that moving rooms has helped
me realize I could go to Antarctica, and things wouldn’t change; the distance
isn’t going to make the pain any less.
When we get camp set up, Hank opens a cooler and passes me a
beer with a giant, shit-eating grin, like we’ve just overcome a huge hurdle.
Deciding that I shouldn’t rain on his little douchebag tea party quite yet, I
accept the beer with merely a grimace before taking a long swig. Before long,
that single swig becomes a chug, and then a guzzle as I consume more alcohol
than what three people probably should.
I sit by the fire and close my eyes. My mind automatically
reaches back into that locked and forbidden drawer to pull out the image of
Ace, striving to recall the sound of her laugh, the feel of her touch. It
brings me back to our camping trip last September, when Jameson announced that
was what he wanted to do for his birthday.

what life needs while learning that some chances are worth taking, regardless
of the risks.
But how do you know when you've met the right person? And
will they be prepared to experience one of life's biggest obstacles?
Falling in love isn't easy--but holding on to it is where
the real challenge lies.
