Synopsis
Branson
Wellington? The name, my name, is usually followed by arrogant prick or self-serving
bastard, and I can't say I haven't earned those titles. It's true. I'm not
the good guy. I'm not the boy next door. I'm definitely not your Prince fucking
Charming. Not even close.
And I never wanted to be. Until her. The day I pulled her from the wreckage was the day that
my life changed.
Who would have thought that one little lie had the power to
throw two lives off course?
Love has never been in the cards for me, but now that she’s here, I have no idea how I’m ever going to let her go. Even if I don’t deserve her.
Because like I said, I’m a self-serving bastard and some things never change.
Excerpt
“There
are some questions I need to ask you, but we can do that in a little bit. Until
then, is there anyone you want us to call? Someone on scene was able to find
your purse, which fortunately hadn’t been destroyed in the blast. There was no
emergency contact information in your purse, however, and you’ve only been out
of surgery for a couple of hours. We haven’t been able to track anyone down as
of yet.”
The last thing I want is Victoria and
William showing up here, especially with Benjamin in tow. Not wanting to worry
anyone, I decide I’ll call Alyssa once things calm down. “No, I’m not from
around here, and the last thing I want to do is worry my family. When I’m
feeling a little more rested, I’ll give them a call.”
The nurse gives me an understanding smile,
and I sigh with relief that she’s not going to push me on this. At least not
yet. “Okay, Ms. Covington. I understand completely. I’ll just set your purse
here, and if you feel up to it, your cell is still inside. Now, I need to
answer this page, but if you need anything in the meantime, don’t hesitate to
hit the nurses’ call button. You may feel a little drowsy from the pain
medication, so for now, try to get some rest.”
I watch as she leaves the room before I
rest my head on my pillow, replaying the events of the past twenty-four hours.
What should’ve been the prelude to one of the best days of my life has turned
into a nightmare. Instead of wearing a white wedding dress, I’m stuck in a
hospital gown. And even now, my fiancé—or, well, former fiancé—is the last man
on my mind. No, instead, I’m thinking about the beautiful man who saved my
life. Who once told me that he was beyond saving.
The night I met Branson Wellington, he was
a mess. A drunken, pitiful, angry mess. This evening, I saw no signs of that
man. I saw confidence. I saw arrogance. I saw determination. But I also saw the
pain, the anger, the frustration. That broken man is still in there no matter
what strides he’s made since that night eight months ago. Tonight, he saved me.
And even though he once said that it’s impossible, I’m making it my mission to
save him, too.

Author Bio
I'm a twenty something book junkie
who is also obsessed with sports. Bengals, Buckeyes, Reds are my teams! I work
for the government during the day, hang out with Air National Guard on the
weekends, and have been married to my own book boyfriend for over seven years.
We currently live right outside of Dayton, OH with our two cats.
If
I’m not writing or looking through tons of photos of hot men, all in the name
of research, then you can probably find me curled up with my Kindle, ignoring
the rest of the world. I love my sports almost as much as I love my books. My
other obsessions include red wine, hot men, country music, and all things Grace
Potter.
