Can
a relationship survive on love alone? Is love truly enough?
Dane
and Alex’s relationship has never been easy, but now they have a fresh start
without the pressures of Alex’s family. Together they try to move forward while
continuing to struggle with a past that they can’t seem to escape.
Sometimes
no matter how hard we try to make things work, love isn’t enough.
Sometimes
even after a broken heart is mended, cracks remain, and the same doubts and
insecurities that once yanked us apart seep in.
Can
true love hold Dane and Alex together or will their hearts completely shatter
like glass?
Excerpt
I head toward the bedroom and find
Alex sprawled out on the center of the bed. I’m still pissed at her for dancing
with him. I don’t know what she was
thinking. I hate that fucker and seeing him with his hands on my girl was
enough to send me over the edge. I immediately wanted to walk over to them but
I stopped, telling myself over and over that there would be no way I could
control my temper if I went anywhere near him.
I kept my eyes on them, ready to
pounce if he took it any further. I started to cool down a little but deep
shades of red clouded by vision when I saw him press his body closer to
her. My mind was made up; I was heading
over to punch that idiot in the face if I got through the packed crowd. I was still about ten feet away when I saw
him press his lips to her cheek and it halted me in place; she let him do
it. Didn’t push him away or tell him to
stop. It took everything I had to not
break his neck. I was even more pissed
at Alex for letting him do it.
I hate feeling this way.
“Dane,” she whispers, lifting her
head from the pillow. She glances at the
clock. “You’re late getting home.”
Yeah, I had a couple drinks after
work. I needed them. “It was busy,” I say, sitting on the edge of
the bed to remove my shoes.
