THE STORM INSIDE

The hardest thing I'd ever done was let go of the one person who needed me most...

Jake Spencer was the kindest, truest, strongest man I'd ever met. He also had the worst childhood I could imagine. All he needed was a chance and someone to love him. I gave him everything I could, but it wasn't enough.

It took me a long time to accept that there was nothing else I could have done. That disappointment has followed me ever since. I built a career and a supportive network of friends, but kept love out of my life.

I was on the rise and thought nothing could slow me down, until my greatest failure came back to haunt me. Jake came home, stronger and wiser. Whatever it was he needed to overcome his past, he'd found it. Somewhere, or with someone, else. I hated that it wasn't with me.

His sudden reappearance has thrown my life into a tailspin. He's back to claim the life he wanted, to be the man he says I deserved, but I'm not the girl I used to be. Professionally I am powerful and moving up. Personally I'm broken and uncertain, but mainly...I'm angry. Falling in love with Jake was the easiest thing I'd ever done, losing him was the hardest, and giving him a second chance might just cost me everything.

REFLECTED IN THE RAIN

And they lived happily ever after.

Everyone else's ending was more like our beginning. Marrying Jake was an easy decision, but living with Jake was another matter entirely. True, lasting love really is all about the work.

And that work gets hard and dirty when certain people from the past don't take a hint (like the wedding ring on your husband's finger.) I don't doubt Jake's undying love for me for a second. He does, however, have a blindspot a mile wide for people with hidden agendas. I suppose I should adore the fact that Jake sees the good in people, but right now I kind of want to strangle him. I also wouldn't mind taking a baseball bat to his ex. Jake is mine. He always has been and he always will be. I'll do whatever it takes to keep it that way.

Do. Not. Mess. With. My. Man.

It won't end well. I promise. I've waited too long and fought too hard to get my happily ever after. We had a wedding to prepare, a honeymoon to enjoy, and a life to plan. No one would be stupid enough to get in our way.

Or so I thought.

Color me surprised when Jake's ex wiggled her way back into our lives. She says it's just business, but I'm not taking any chances. We put the past behind us when I accepted Jake's proposal and I'm not afraid to shove it back where it belongs. I will do whatever it takes to protect my life with Jake, even if it means playing dirty.

NEVER LET GO

Love isn't easy. If there is one thing I've learned, that's it. Love doesn't last because it's perfect or fate, it's because two people decided to fight for it. They hold on tighter than anyone else when times get tough. And right now, times are really tough.

It's a good thing I have a strong grip.

We've been sucked into a world filled with politics and appearances. It's triggered silent demons that Jake thought he'd beaten long ago, and running from them isn't an option this time. We're in this together. We've already lost a decade, I'm not losing another minute.
