Publication date: January 5th 2014
Genres: Adult, Contemporary,
Emily Anderson and Reed Alexander are living with pasts they cannot escape.
Emily moved to New York City seeking a fresh start, intending to focus on her career and to keep a low profile.
Reed returns home to New York City after two years, haunted by the same things that pushed him away years ago.
When Reed and Emily meet, their connection is undeniable, but Emily keeps her feelings hidden. Falling in love is the last thing on her mind and she knows the danger it may bring not only to her, but to Reed as well. Reed isn’t as reluctant, but he knows that the demons he’s fighting could destroy Emily.
The harder they try to resist one another, the deeper they fall in love, and the more complicated their lives become.
In the end, they realize that truly loving someone may mean letting them go… and that’s the hardest part.
Ignoring the pain, I continued to kick,
hoping to get him off me. I continued to reach to get a better hold on the
ladder. With my next kick, I felt one of my legs spring free from his grasp. I
glanced back, coiled my leg back as far as it would go, hoping to gain as much
force as possible, and then let it go, hitting him directly in the face. He
stumbled back against the wall, yelling and screaming for Jason and Eric. It
was now or never. I had to get away. Reaching again, I grabbed the bar with both
hands and pulled myself through the small opening. Our eyes met for just a
moment before I took off down the fire escape.
The next few seconds were a blur as the
blood coursed through my veins. I flew down the ladder and jumped off the
railing before it even reached the bottom. I knew every second counted. At any
moment, Jake and his men would be coming around the corner and I wouldn’t be
able to fight them all off. I hit the ground with a thud and felt the jarring
impact move up my legs and spread into my back. I stumbled forward and ran as
fast as I could.
The streets were empty, dark. Running as
fast as I could, I scanned for anyone to help me, for a cab. I would've settled
for any sign of human life at that point. Yet there was no one.
Every few seconds, I looked over my
shoulder, expecting to see the three of them chasing after me. Deep down, I was
thankful that they weren't back there, but I couldn't help wondering where they
were. There was no way he would give up that easily.
