When I arrived at your resort, I was broken. Emotionally and professionally, I had nothing left.

The last three books I published bombed and the ink was barely dry on my divorce papers. The divorce I never saw coming.

All I needed was peace and quiet, and you gave it to me. 

That and so much more.

Hope. Courage. Friendship.

Passion.

The last thing I want to do is leave, but if I stayed, I'd only be staying for you.

Staying for You

I shake off the feelings of my past. Of the fact that my ex never told me I was beautiful and return my focus on the man sitting next to me. "So you said those things to, what? Get yourself to stop liking me?"


We share a laugh and I shift in my seat so I’m facing him as well, resting an elbow on the back of the couch. "I understand. You were right when you said I was temporary. For the record, I think you’re pretty damn good looking, too."


He narrows his eyes. "That doesn’t help."
