Book Excerpt
“Why don’t you
just break up with him? Why are you with that guy?” Ed’s nostrils flared and
glared at her.
“It’s not that
easy,” Emily mumbled, biting her lip.
“Of course it
is. Don’t you want to be with me, Em? Don’t answer that, because I know. I know
you want to be with me. You showed me,” He crowed. “But I’m not going to go any
further with you. I’m done until you’re mine. Do you understand that?” Ed
bristled and his face hardened.
A tear rolled
down Emily’s cheek. She did know that. Despite the two incidents that had
happened between them, Ed was not the kind of guy to be a party to cheating, no
matter the form. A
hoarse cry of frustration formed in her throat. She swallowed it. She’d thrown
her own moral code out for...what? Hormones? One last desperate chance for Ed?
How pathetic.
“I’ll do it,
give me your phone, I’ll call him and do it,” Ed growled, extending his hand
for the phone.
“I’m pregnant,”
she whispered, looking down, too terrified to meet Ed’s eyes.
Ed froze, his
face a furious mask. His nostrils flaring, his eyes wild, his reaction scared
her. Emily fought to keep her composure and hold her ground.
“What did you
just say?” he asked again, his voice cracking with emotion, his mouth in a flat
line.
“I’m pregnant,”
she replied again louder.
Emily turned to
look at Ed then. She didn’t know what she had expected to see or how she had
wanted him to react. But Ed sat immobile. He looked at her but didn’t seem to
see her. She needed more.
“Yeah, that’s
what I thought,” Emily said.
Ed still didn’t
reply.
“Good bye Ed,”
she said.

When Emily balked at running away with
her childhood sweetheart, Ed, eight years ago, she had no idea he’d
disappear from her life. In the years since, she’s managed to push past
her pain to open her own business and find love again. Her life feels
good, until Ed shows up on her doorstep.
Ed vowed he’d never come back for her.
But no matter how many miles, or blondes, he’d put between them, he
couldn’t shake her hold on his heart. He’d pictured himself stepping

Now Ed is fighting both for and against
her to win her heart once and for all. But can they find their way back
to each other, through years of hurt and with an unexpected baby on the
way?
