~ Excerpt ~

Prologue

I’m clutching Ava’s hand as if my life depends on it. My entire body is shaking as I look at the love of my life, my fiancée, the mother of my child in sheer desperation. I love her so damn much. I don’t care that she cheated on me. I don’t care that she didn’t tell me her secret. I can forgive her, I can...

“Where do we go from here, Ava?”

“I have to follow my heart,” Ava says painfully.

“And what does your heart say?”

My adrenaline goes up a notch as I wait for her terrifying answer. I can see her eyes begin to fill with tears and my heart thuds against my chest as I witness the look of pain etched along her beautiful yet battered face. God, the things he did to her… I can’t even contemplate it. Fuck.

Please say it’s me...

Please...

I need you...

I love you.

My eyes widen hopelessly as she opens her mouth to speak.

“That Ashton’s the one I want to be with.”

My chin begins to tremble on its own accord, and my insides snap and shatter at her words. An indescribable pain ricochets across my chest and I find it impossible to find my next breath. The tears I didn’t realize I held, begin to fall.

The motherfucking floodgates open and I cry hysterically in the arms of the woman who doesn’t love me anymore.

In that one moment, everything changes, and I turn to the only thing I know will numb the pain of my loss.

Cocaine.

I loved Sebastian. I believe it was because of his struggle with drugs. That made me appreciate him a lot more.

I totally related to him regarding his struggle to get over Ava. Whom I wanted to choke the whole book.

Addison I loved her the whole book. But I really respected her more with what she did.

Overall a great read. This is my first read from this author. I will be waiting for more from her. I felt her characters were very realistic and relatable.
