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...
It’s just the 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.
When Lightning Strikes
I genuinely believe that love is something you have to earn and that I have done nothing to deserve it.
Until I met Marie.
She’s...everything. Beautiful, powerful, tantalizing to the point I forget my own name. She’s also soft and vulnerable in a way that’s unlocked something inside me I’d thought was lost and buried long ago.
I may not deserve to be loved, but Marie definitely does. So for the first time in a very long time I don’t care what I’ve done...it’s not about me. It’s about her and doing whatever I have to do, and be whoever I need to be, to earn her love.
Even if it means facing the one thing I hate about myself most.
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.
***Also available: The Wild Pitch box set! Read Summer Heat (June's story!), Night Games, and Last Fall (Zoe's story!)
