Description
Lauren and Mark Burrows lost their parents in a car accident one night.
Despite their father being the drunk driver, both struggle with the urge to
turn to drink; Lauren most of all. When all they have is each other, Lauren
feels lost when Mark falls in love with Cassie Warren and moves out.
Ethan Stone has been alone since his divorce. His ex-wife took him for
everything, and he has felt empty for a long time. He's not looking for love,
but Lauren brings him back to life. The question is whether she can fight her
demons for the man she loves, and if Ethan can handle the wild ride that is
life with Lauren.
Excerpt
Ethan leaned over to kiss her. “I’m looking forward to going to bed too.
If I’m invited.”
She laughed, slapping his arm. “Are you kidding? After all that fuss at
the door, you had better bring your A game tonight, Mister.”
“I don’t know about that, but I could do with loving you some more. We’ll
have to leave pretty early. My schedule is full tomorrow.”
“You still came?”
“Lauren, I told you. You’re worth the effort. If I have to look for work
down here, I will.”
“I can’t believe anyone would do that for me.”
“I love you. Even if you don’t feel the same way, I’ll be there when you
need me.”
She kissed him. This man was special, and he was hers.
“I do feel the same way. My whole life, no-one ever loved me,” she said.
“I bet that’s a lie. You have such a good heart. Anyone who doesn’t love
you isn’t worth knowing.”
“Can we skip dinner and get to the bed part?”
Ethan squeezed her hand. “Not after the effort I put in. Maybe
afterwards.”
“Well, you can’t wash the dishes. There’s no hot water left.”
“You didn’t leave any for me?”
Lauren draped her arms over Ethan’s shoulders. “No. You should have
joined me.”
“Next time, beautiful.”
She looked away, not wanting to meet his gaze. “What is it, Lauren?”
“No-one’s ever called me that before.”
“Well, get used to it.”
