From the lights of the field, to the curve
in the road, one shattered breath leaves friendships forever altered.
The Forever Love Series will submerge you
into two novels intertwined together where love and loss can break you down,
tear you apart, and even last forever, if you’re willing to let
it.
After a celebratory night for six friends
on the cusp of adulthood ends tragically, they’re left learning how
to carry on. Years later, through their own struggles and accomplishments, each
is left suspended by fears that encase them with such an intense blinding light,
and a horrific soul-stealing darkness. Can they find their way out of the
intricate web of guilt and deceit? Can they grasp the light amongst the shadows
of what they used to be... and manage to be who they should
become?
Sometimes the only way to heal is to face
the fear of forever.

Excerpt
from Forever
Dark
It’s pouring outside, rain
pelting my face and soaking my t-shirt. I don’t care. I still walk in
the rain.
Before I know it, I’m on the
third floor and approaching her door, my shoes squeaking on the concrete floor.
Taking my phone from my pocket, I send Madison a
text.
You
up?
She answers right away.
It’s locked. Hold on.
My shoulder hits the wall, I lean into the
door waiting for her to unlock it. A couple holding hands and beer passes by
me. I don’t give them the time of day, even though they bump my
shoulder and congratulate me on the season though we loss last
night.
Fuck football at this
point.
I’m
angry.
So fucking
angry.
I know I should have known that she was
this girl but the fact that she kept stringing me along, that has me so
angry.
I thought it was
more.
That’s my problem. I
thought.
When Madison opens the door,
she’s dressed in my jersey from freshman year… yeah, the
one she stole, and it’s a fading fucking reminder of what we used to
be. I want to rip it off her body like she rips my heart
out.
When I step inside, she’s not
looking at me and she won’t. She barely ever
does.
“What are you doing here?”
Her voice is low and hushed as she reaches to close the bathroom
door.
I step inside raising an eyebrow at her,
but I don’t look up, I can’t. The thump is louder, her
proximity is suffocating. We don’t touch as I speak. “You
don’t want me
here?”
She shakes her head, hopeless eyes fail to
find anything they’re looking for. Slumped shoulders give way and she
wraps her arms around me bringing our bodies together. Her hands slide over my
wet shirt, catching as it clings to my body. She kisses down my jaw until her
lips find mine. She captures me, right then, consuming me with her kisses. Our
lips never fumble, maybe frustrated we can never get close enough, but
they’re sure kisses that designate what we are, for the briefest
moment.
We’re this, right here, right
now.
A three AM text and no questions, only
mumbled words of acceptance.
I’m here for something and she
knows it, her mouth finds mine again fisting her hands in my t-shirt, pulling me
into her. We stumble, the wall meets her back and I’m dying, falling,
soaring into the high only she can give me. I close my eyes and ignore the
thump in my chest, ignore the fact that’s she’s never gonna
love me the way I love her.
It’s just not going to
happen.
Ever.
Stop beating. Stop believing in
anything but never.
The moment her tongue meets mine, I
can’t breathe again. I’m screaming in pain that she
can’t see what she does to me, how she makes me
feel.
Excerpt from Forever
Light
I
push everything out of my mind and move with determination. It has to be this
way. It’s for the best. I throw everything that’s left of
me into soul-searing sex between us. My movements becoming harder, faster, my
left arm wrapped around her waist, my right hand on her ass moving her against
me. Macy’s panting and gently biting down on my neck and it only
fuels my fire and sends me over the fucking edge. Macy’s body
tightens around me and I push harder into her chasing my own orgasm, praying
she’s close because I’m not
lasting.
“Oh Landon,” she cries
out. Her body goes limp in my arms as I continue to drive into her. It starts
out low in my stomach building rapidly and then it hits like a freight
train.
“Damn,” I grind out
still pumping in and out of her slowly as my release
hits.
I rest my head on her shoulder and
it’s then that I realize she’s
crying.
Shit.
Was I too
rough?
Did I hurt
her?
No, that’s all I’ve
ever done is hurt her. This is more. This is her knowing there’s no
chance for us. Not when I can’t give myself to her in the ways she
needs. I lift her chin and a tear slips down her cheek. Her next words break
that last piece that was holding me
together.
“You stole my
heartbeat.” I blink, pulling away from her, and the words come out
before I can stop
them.
“I can’t steal
something you give to me over and over again to
destroy."
A stay-at-home mom, Chelsea spends her
days drinking entirely too much caffeine, baking sugar-sweet treats she never
eats, playing on Pinterest, and jotting down notes for her novels. A dreamer at
heart, she’s been creating happily-ever-afters. She’s a
lover, a writer, a dreamer, would rather type than speak, wants to remember
everything, loves lots of ice in her drinks, and is slightly
introverted.
