Blurb:
How long does it take for a
long-distance relationship to break down? Sixteen months.
When Jen and Carl put their
relationship to rest after Christmas, Jen’s biggest problem is
going back to London ten days earlier than planned – and her
ever-present attraction to Samuel ‘Bing’ Edwards.
Bing has no idea why Jen left Devon so
fast. All he knows is that he wants her as much as he did the first
day he laid eyes on her – so spending time with her while Lexy is
still in Devon isn’t exactly a hardship for him. When he finds out
she’s single, the only thing on his mind is finishing what they
started at his dad’s fiftieth birthday party.
Feelings that have been a long time
building between the two explode, and they both find themselves
sucked into an easy yet passionate relationship, with Bing determined
to prove to Jen that she’s it for him. That she is The One.
But in a city like London, the odds are
stacked against them, and there’s always that one person ready to
stir things up… And Jen doesn’t know how much of that she can
take – even for the guy she loves more deeply than she ever
imagined, and eventually she breaks.
Bing isn’t down with that. He wants
Jen, and he wants her by his side for good.
Jennifer Mason must learn that Samuel
Edwards doesn’t do giving up. Especially not when his forever girl
is involved.
Excerpt:
JEN
He
chuckles low, and I suppress the shiver that’s threatening to run
through my body. His hand closes around mine, and he pries the
hairspray from my grip. His fingers slip between mine, his palm hot.
My eyes flick to our hands and how dainty mine looks encompassed in
his.
His
other hand rises to my face, his thumb tracing down my cheek to the
dent below my ear. It ghosts along my jaw, tracing the shape of it,
and finally settles on my lower lip. He tugs it from between my teeth
gently, and the pad of his thumb strokes across it.
My
eyes rise to his, our faces inches from each other.
“You
know it’s you, don’t you?” he says softly, uncertainly.
I
nod silently, unable to form any words.
“I
mean it, Jen.” He cups the side of my face. “Whatever she tries
to say, it’s all lies. Even if she hasn’t said it yet, I can tell
you it’s a lie.” He dips his face towards me, resting his nose
alongside mine. I let my eyes flutter shut, feeling the realness in
the moment.
“I
know,” I whisper. “But that doesn’t mean-”
“Don’t.
Say. It,” he orders in a hushed voice. “I just got you, Jen. I
waited for too long to have you, but I do now, and I’ll be damned
if I’m gonna let her get in between us. I told you, didn’t I? I
told you that if anyone doubts us, if you ever doubt us, to come to
me.”
“Yes.”
“Then
do it. Come to me, babe. Don’t let her get under your skin. She’s
nothing to me. She never was anything. Not like you.”
I
run my free hand along his arm until it rests on his hand cupping my
cheek. “What am I, Sam?”
“Everything,
Jen. You are everything. Don’t ever doubt that.”
