Synopsis
Enduring the ultimate betrayal on her eighteenth birthday by the one person she loves most in the
world, Mia Walker is no longer the innocent, sweet, young woman she used to be. She is now cold and
hard, letting no one get close to her heart, except family.
Mackai (Mac) Weston sees the changes in Mia on a daily basis. He knows he is the reason Mia is now the
way she is. Never given the chance to explain what really happened that night so long ago, Mac is
determined to make Mia finally listen and reclaim what was always his.
When the truth finally comes out, danger shows its ugly face. There are people in Jaded Hollow that do
not want Mac and Mia together. They are willing to do what ever it takes to keep them apart.
Will Mac be strong enough to overcome temptation, even when the odds are against him? Will Mia
forgive Mac when she realizes things weren’t what they seemed ten years ago?
Excerpt
I step out into the hall and brace myself to face him. It’s unavoidable. He’s damn sure made it so.
Bastard.
I release a sigh. “What do you want now, Sheriff? I’m tired and don’t want to deal with this shit
right now.”
“You can’t avoid me forever, Mia. There are things you don’t know that you should. Things I’ve
tried telling you before but you haven’t allowed me to.” He moves away from the wall and takes
a slow step towards me. It takes everything I have not to take a step back for every forward
movement he makes.
“It doesn’t matter. It’s too late. Besides, nothing you say would make a difference. What you did,
the repercussions on both our parts, is something that can’t ever be undone.”
“Pix…” He starts, but I don’t let him finish.
I throw my hands up to my ears, squeeze my eyes shut, and yell, “No! I can’t, Mac! I don’t want
to hear it! And stop fucking calling me that!”
All of a sudden, I feel hands at my wrists, trying to bring them down. I jump at the touch and try
to jerk away.
“Goddamn it, Mia!” I hear Mac’s muffled baritone through my hands that are still over my ears.
“Fuck, you are one stubborn bitch, you know that?”
I drop my hands and sling my head up at his words. How fucking dare he! He’s the one that
caused this mess. Now he wants to get mad because I don’t care to hear what he has to say.
Fuck that!
“You know what, Mac? You can kiss my ass. You get pissed because I don’t want to hear what
you want me to hear. Go fuck yourself and leave me the hell alone.” My breathing is heavy
because my emotions are getting the best of me. Mac always seems to bring out all my emotions.
Mac leans his head down so his face is level with mine and grits out, “Mia, it’s been ten fucking
years. I think that’s long enough for you to finally give me a chance to explain.” When I go to
object again, he stops me before I get a chance. “Shut it! You listen to me now.” I snap my
mouth closed at his bluntness. “What I have to say may not change anything, but fuck all if
you’re going to continue to live in the dark on what really happened that night.”
I glare up at him while he stares down at me with his beautiful green eyes, eyes that I sometime
still see at night. They’re intense right now as they watch me. A low swirl starts in the pit of my
stomach at his closeness. I can smell his woodsy scent, and it’s causing dirty thoughts to form in
my head. Thoughts of him shoving me up against the wall and taking me hard.
My chest is heaving for a whole other reason now. As much as I hate him, I want him still. He
notices my reaction, and his eyes flare in response. He takes a step closer towards me so our
bodies are practically touching. I take a couple steps back until my body hits the wall, and he
advances forward again. With him this close, I have to tip my head back to keep my eyes on his
face. He cages me in with his arms on either side of my head.
“What’s going in that head of yours, Pix?” He murmurs. “Are you thinking the same things as
me? Are you thinking about me picking you up and wrapping your gorgeous legs around me so
you can grind that wet pussy against my cock? Or, how about me flipping you around and
pulling those tight ass pants down and feasting on your pussy? Or are you just skipping all the
foreplay and going straight to me sliding my dick in your tight cunt?”
I lean my head back against the wall and close my eyes, trying to block out all the images
conjuring in my head from his words. I feel his breath against my neck right before I feel the
scruff of his five o’clock shadow.
“You’re thinking all those things, aren’t you? You want it all. You don’t want to want it, but you
want me to finally take you,” he whispers in my ear.
It’s the word ‘finally’ that brings me back to reality. It’s such a simple word, but the meaning
behind it is what causes my chest to hurt with unbearable pain. He should have already had me
ten years ago. We should have had each other. He was the one to decide to throw it away to
someone else, and in turn, someone else took mine.
