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?
Streaks of sunshine coming
through the partially-closed blinds wakes me. It must be a bit early; my alarm
hasn’t gone off yet. Stretching, I realize I haven’t slept
that well in years. In fact, I can’t even remember the last time I
slept that well as all.
Climbing out of bed, I make
quick use of the bathroom, washing my face and finding a spare toothbrush.
Walking down the hall, I smell bacon and
coffee.
“Morning,
Max.” I practically sing as I grab for a coffee mug and fill it with
liquid heaven.
“Morning,
Hemi. Sleep well?” He hands me a plate piled with bacon, eggs, and
waffles.
“I
did. Think I can bet you out of your bed again tonight?” I ask,
before taking a bite of the waffles. Letting out a soft moan, I chew the waffle
slowly. “Oh God, can I just marry you now so you can make me breakfast
every day?” When he doesn’t answer, I look up to see him
staring at me with that same look of desire he had
yesterday.
“Baby,
you can marry me right now, but I get to sleep in that bed with you
tonight.” I hadn’t realized he was moving closer until I
feel the last word whispered across my lips. The sound of a throat clearing behind
me has us jumping apart. I turn to see Jayden staring at us with a weird look.
It’s almost a combination of discomfort, anger, and
confusion.
“You better not let
her brothers catch you that close to her, the last guy that got that close got
beat pretty bad.”
