Hemingway has spent her life trying
to earn love she was never going to get. Not capable of earning the love of her
mom, she found what she thought was a lifelong love, until it wasn't.
When she meets Max, the new drummer in her brothers' band, she just
might find that love she has been searching her whole life
for.
No stranger to pain and
heartache. Max has learned from his past, that when you find someone worthy of
your love, you give it all. Losing his mom at a young age showed him how
fragile life is. He lives life with as few regrets as possible, and when he
wants something he fights with all he has to get it.
Hemingway doesn't stand
a chance against the force that is Max's love and devotion, not that
she would want to.
Will Hemingway be able to move
on from her past and open her heart up to love? Will Max be the one to show her
the way? Or will they give up and move on when Hemingway is forced to confront
her past head on?
“So what exactly
happened between you two last night? Bec never came home.” Raising my
eyebrow as I wait for an answer, everyone’s eyes snap over to where
Becca is currently trying to put space between her and Jay. When I feel
Max’s hands on my thighs, I look up at
him.
“What?” I
ask, trying to keep an innocent tone to my
voice.
“That
wasn’t very nice of you,” he says with a smirk. I can see
the laughter dancing behind his
eyes.
Looking back over to Jayden,
since it appears neither of them are going to answer, I press on.
“Looks like you moved Becca up your to-do list?” I try to
keep a straight face, but it’s not easy, especially when I can hear
Bodhi fighting back his laughter, and can feel Max’s chest shaking
with silent laughter as he buries his face in my
hair.
“Come on, Hem, you
know that line was only for you.” Max stops laughing and his head
shoots up. I’m a little afraid to turn around and see the look on his
face, and from the satisfied look on Jayden’s face, I would guess
that he successfully hit his
mark.
“What do you mean
that line is only for my sister?” Niki questions.
Unable to fight the laughter
anymore, I tip my head back and let out a laugh from deep inside.
“The day I met Jay,
he asked if I wanted to go somewhere and hangout.” Fighting back the
laughter, I look over at Niki and
Eli.
Shaking his head, Jay chuckles.
“She said she was too busy to hang, so I look at her and deadpanned,
‘I was too, but I just moved you to the top of my to-do
list.’ She slapped me.” This has all of the guys hooting in
laughter. I look over at Jay, and he
winks.
