Angie is a survivor. Anything you could throw at her, she could overcome. After her father left her like a pile of unwanted trash, she began fighting. Fighting to build a life. Fighting to keep her child. Fighting to matter. She thought she had it all figured out. Then Bowen Race Tannenbaum walks into her life, turning it into a flurry of confusion, hope, and then ultimately despair. He tore down, brick-by-brick, her carefully constructed world, leaving her heart in tatters and longing for more. Such as a happily ever after, something that wasn’t ever going to happen for her. Not when she couldn’t give him what he wanted. He’d break her, and she couldn’t be put back together a second time. Bowe wasn’t always so jaded, but when you keep drawing a losing hand, it tends to affect a man. He didn’t mean to lash out so carelessly. But he was so over being told no. He was done being lied to. He through with being cheated on. This time, his heart was getting what it wanted. If Angie wasn’t able to see what he was offering, what was right here in front of her, well then, he’d just have to damn well show her.

Prologue

You’re making it difficult to be the parent I always imagined I would be.

-Angie’s secret thoughts

Angie

15 years old

“Do you see him yet?” I asked my little sister.

My little sister stretched to the tops of her toes then shook her head. “No.”

“Mom,” I said. “Do you see him yet?”

Mom, although I knew she’d rather be anywhere but here, shook her head.

My parents had divorced only a few short months ago, and not by my mother’s choice.

With their divorce came a financial strain that left my mom unable to go a day without working, less we lose the roof over our heads. Especially now that my father wasn’t helping pay for it.

“No.” She looked around.

I felt for my mom. I really did.

“You don’t have to stand with us. You can go to the car,” I tried again.

My mother looked down at me like I’d grown a second head.

“I’m not leaving you in the same vicinity with that woman,” my mother said. “But nice try.”

I looked over at ‘that woman’ and cringed.

‘That woman’ was my father’s new wife, the woman he cheated on my mother with. The one who had two kids the same age as my sister’s eight, and my fifteen.

“Why are they even here?” I asked, fisting my sign in my hands. “They don’t even know him all that well. They’ve seen him like twice.”

And it was true.

My father was in the military. He was deployed more than he was here, and I had no clue how those girls were ‘so in love with their daddy’ like their sign said since they’d only seen him twice. Once for a birthday party for the girl my age that my father had dragged me to, and once for the marriage of my father and that woman.

“Oh, there he is!” my sister cried, pointing in the direction of the runway.

We watched as his plane taxied, and then moved up until the walkway was in place.

We watched even more as my father started down the long walkway in our direction.

His eyes, though, weren’t on us.

They were on his new family.

Then, as if it were some cruel joke, my sister started running towards my father, not realizing what was going on…not realizing that my father’s eyes weren’t even on her.

God love my sister, but she was slow. Not slow as in mentally disabled; slow, as in she was slow to catch on. To realize what my mother and I already had.

Which I guessed we should be thankful for right then.

Had she been faster, I was sure that he would’ve pushed her down in order to get to the other little girl running toward him.

I watched in horror as my father swooped down and scooped that little girl up like he should’ve done to Ariel. Pulling the girl in his arms, he swung her in a circle as he lifted her high above his head, practically knocking Ariel down in the process as the little girl’s ridiculously high heeled shoes swung out behind her.

“Jesus,” my mother cried, running forward.

My mother swooped Ariel up into her arms, then started running toward me, staring over her shoulder at the man we all used to know.

“Let’s go,” my mother murmured, tears already tracking down her cheeks. “I can’t breathe here.”

I looked down at the sign that said, ‘Welcome home, Daddy. I missed you’ and hurried to catch up to her, my feet dragging slightly.

With one last look to be sure—no, he still wasn’t looking at us—I walked away, shoving the poster into the trash as I went.

“Hey!” I heard called from behind me right before I’d reached the airport exit.

I turned and saw a boy about my age running after me.

“Yeah?” I asked, swiping at the tears that I hadn’t realized were running down my face.

“I like your hair.”

I blinked, surprised.

“Thank you.”

He grinned and walked off, but not before looking at me once more over his shoulder.

I waved and he waved back.

Then I got into the car with my mother and my sobbing little sister, and never looked back.

***

7 years later

“Push, honey,” my mother whispered. “Push hard.”

I pushed hard, but the fact that the room was fucking full of people I didn’t want there was making it hard to concentrate.

“I think it might be the time to consider a C-section.” The doctor’s kind eyes looked at me.

“Why do I have to be here?” Jade asked. “This is ridiculous.”

Jade was my step-sister who also happened to be in a relationship with Troy, the father of the baby I was in the process of delivering.

I looked over at my brother, who was standing at my head and not looking at anything but my face, and pleaded with him.

“Please get her out of here.”

His grin went lethal.

“I can do that.”

Without another word, he went to work, getting not just her, but a very pissed off Troy, to leave.

Book Information:
July Dupree and Dean ‘PD’ Hargrove fell head over heels in love. When PD comes home to tell July the good news about joining the SWAT team as a tactical medic, everything changes. July can’t fathom why PD would want to be a cop in this day and age. Wasn’t it enough that he already had a dangerous job with the fire department? Now he has to add another, even more dangerous, job to the equation? With so many cruel people in the world who make a sport out of hurting cops just because of the badge they wear, she has to make him understand. But when he refuses to listen to her reasoning, she feels she has no other choice but to issue an ultimatum: her or the SWAT team. Dean doesn’t like ultimatums. He’s furious with July for putting him in the awful position of having to choose between a dream and her. July never believes for a second that he’d choose the SWAT team over her, but she is wrong. A year later, they’re both still in love with each other, but neither one is willing to budge regardless of their feelings. July’s feelings for Dean haven’t changed, in fact her love for him has only grown. But seeing him living his life seemingly unaffected by the loss of what they had breaks her heart over and over each time she sees him. Dean has a good poker face, though. He’s just going through the motions of his life until finally, the smoldering embers of his feelings erupt into a full-on blaze of emotion, burning through everything but his love for July. When the smoke clears, Dean wants to know if they can reignite the fire of their love or is he destined to live his life in a constant state of controlled burn?

Prologue

Nobody is born a warrior. Exactly the same way that nobody is born a bitch. Sometimes life just happens, and bitches have to adapt.

-Words of Wisdom

July

My belly was practically rolling inside of my abdomen.

“Why do they have you working at the fire station?” Des asked as I drove to the fire house I would be working at today.

“Apparently, the chief that works here needs some help with some paperwork that the city is now requiring them to have on file. I’m going to help make sure all the men and women employed by the fire department have the right paperwork,” I explained as I made the final turn onto the street that would lead me where I was going.

“That’s kind of cool. Able’s there for another half an hour,” Des explained.

Able was Des’ husband, and I loved him to death. I was actually quite relieved to know that he was going to be there. Able’s fellow firefighters could be intimidating.

It wasn’t that they weren’t nice; it was just that they were all extremely good looking, and my mouth never seemed to be able to spit the words out correctly.

I said a silent prayer that Dean wouldn’t be there, and actually thought I lucked out as I pulled into the parking lot and didn’t see his truck.

“I’m here,” I said. “Wish me luck.”

Des laughed and wished me luck, and then I hung up before her laughter could get too annoying.

My best friend knew all about my crush on one particular firefighter.

She also knew how I got tongue-tied and always ended up making a fool of myself in front of him.

“Thank God,” I breathed as I parked my truck next to a motorcycle, thankful that I didn’t see the familiar sparkly red truck.

“Yo,” Able said before I’d even gotten out of my car.

I looked up to see him tucking his phone back into his pocket, and I grinned at him.

“She called you, didn’t she?” I asked.

He nodded. “We’re not going to eat you.”

“I didn’t say that you would,” I informed him primly. “Nor did I say anything that even remotely sounded like that to her over the phone.”

He grinned. “You get your sink fixed?”

I nodded quickly. “I fixed it myself. I YouTubed it.”

He snorted. “You rigged it up, and it’ll likely break, won’t it?”

I shrugged noncommittally.

“Mayyyybe,” I hedged. “Show me where to go.”

He bowed slightly and threw his arm around my shoulders.

“I’m about to get off, my relief showed early. I’ll show you where to go, but I’ll be gone if you need anything else,” he told me. “Dean’s here, though.”

I tripped over myself.

“What?” I tried to act like that name had no effect, even though we both knew it was a lie. “I didn’t see his truck.”

“He rode his bike in today,” he explained, easily reading the truth on my face. “The one you parked next to is his.”

I swallowed thickly and asked, “He rides?”

Able nodded his head, and I wanted to groan.

I loved motorcycles.

Loved them. They were like crack to me.

As if it wasn’t enough that Dean was tall, dark and handsome, but he just had to go and add ‘I ride a motorcycle’ to the list? Could he be any sexier?

Eight hours later, as I was leaving, I realized that yes, he absolutely could get sexier.

I’d successfully managed to avoid Dean all day.

I’d seen him, yes. However, I hadn’t spoken to him. In fact, the only person I did speak with, the entire day, was Chief Allen who showed me what he needed, gave me what he had, and then had left me alone all day in the office to sort his shit and compare the city’s notes to his.

I’d even skipped lunch in order to avoid all of the sexiness that was Dean.

Now, though, I saw that my luck had run out.

“Well, hello there, pretty girl,” Dean’s smooth, deep voice drawled.

My head snapped up from my contemplation of the concrete to find him sitting on his motorcycle directly next to my truck.

“H-hi, D-Dean,” I stuttered.

He grinned, and his straight white teeth flashed.

His eyes started at my toes and worked their way up as he took me in, and his grin widened.

“I like your shirt,” he said.

I looked down at the Kilgore Fire Department shirt that I’d bought from Allen before I’d left, then back up at him.

“I’m going to go eat, and I hate wearing dressy shirts out. They’re uncomfortable as hell, and I forgot my t-shirt to change into,” I blurted out in a rush.

“Are you going to eat by yourself?” he asked, his eyes holding mine.

I nodded my head, my eyes searching his face.

I couldn’t make out the color in the near darkness, but I knew for a fact that they were a warm brown resembling the color of melted chocolate.

I’d memorized quite a bit about Dean Hargrove.

Prologue

Crash and burn.

-Coffee Cup

Masen

There are times when you realize you’ve screwed up…and there are times when you realize that you’ve broken something so perfectly that it will never be the same.

I couldn’t say that what I’d done was on purpose, but I knew only a few short hours after it happened—when my sister was on the brink of death—that I’d screwed up.

I’d lashed out in grief.

I’d done something that would never be able to be fixed…not without him giving me another chance.

And that chance was long gone.

Booth, my boyfriend…now ex-boyfriend…would never give me another one.

Not after the ugly things I’d said to him.

Not after that.

I closed my eyes as tears of frustration poured down my face.

“What’d you say?” My big sister rasped, her breathing so harsh and ragged that I was scared to look at her.

“I said some ugly things…I should’ve,” I shook my head. “I should’ve been more understanding. I know he tried.”

“What’d you say?” Daniela asked again.

The breath in her lungs rattled her chest as she inhaled and exhaled.

I looked over at her finally, my heart squeezing in my chest as I did.

“I told him I never wanted to see him again, and that,” I choked. “That I didn’t love him anymore.”

My sister’s eyes closed as she exhaled.

“I know you’re scared,” she said in such a soft voice that I could barely hear her. “But you’re going to need him.”

My throat swelled, and I felt like I could barely breathe.

“I know,” I cried, tears rolling down my cheeks in torrents now.

I laid my head down on the bed next to her hand, and she lifted it up to place it on my head, sifting her fingers lightly through my hair.

My sister was my best friend.

And she was dying.

Doctors didn’t think she’d make it past this weekend.

And that’d been what I’d called Booth about.

I’d been so happy to hear his voice, that low, deep rumble that I hadn’t heard in over a month and a half.

But that quickly fell apart when he said he couldn’t come home. That they wouldn’t let him.

He’d sounded distraught.

And maybe he was.

But I was dying inside.

My heart was literally breaking into a million tiny pieces.

My sister’s breathing was shallow now.

It wouldn’t be long.

She’d likely not make it through the night.

At least that was what the nurse said that came to check on her an hour ago.

We were to call her as soon as we thought it’d gotten to the point of no return.

How do you know what the point of no return is?

Is it just something that you instinctually ‘know?’

Is it something that’ll just be my guess?

My sister had Cystic Fibrosis.

She was diagnosed with it when she was five and had a life expectancy of thirty-one years.

Except she wasn’t going to make it.

Nowhere close, actually.

She was twenty-two. The same age as Booth.

Booth and my sister had actually been friends, but the moment we made eye contact, the rest had been history. He’d been mine for two years, much to my mother and father’s chagrin, at first anyway. Now they didn’t much care about the age difference. Then, they did.

Well, not anymore.

A wet cough had me looking back up at my sister, studying her face.

Her color was nearly gray, and I knew it wouldn’t be long now.

She’d caught an infection, and she’d been in and out of the hospital for the last three weeks.

They’d finally told her that there was nothing else they could do but put her on a respirator, and Daniela had decided to come home instead.

Come home to die.

The bedroom door opened and I turned to see my mother and father come in holding hands.

“Sorry it took us so long,” my mom said. “The car had a flat.”

Our car was falling apart.

Daniela’s medical bills were killing my parents, but they’d never complain.

We’d been running on tires that were so bald that they were illegal, and we all knew it.

But there was nothing we could do.

I was working full time but had taken off for a week.

My mom and dad worked at the hospital.

My dad was an X-ray tech and my mom was a billing specialist.

They worked the same shift, and it was good that they did or they wouldn’t be able to have only one vehicle.

“I love you,” my sister said. “I love you all.”

Two hours later, my sister took one final rattling breath and died.

***

I stared at the plot of dirt, heartbroken and sick to my stomach.

My parents were on either side of me, their arms wrapped around my chest and shoulders.

“I miss her,” I whispered to them.

My mother gasped as a sob wracked her body.

“I do, too.”

My father’s lips pressed against my hair, and it was all I could do not to cry.

I wish you were here, Booth.

***

Four months later

I waited at the airport gate for him.

But he never showed.

Everyone else did.

No take-backs. That was the motto that Drew lived by in all things, including his love life. He’s a player, pure and simple. He’s learned the hard way that women aren’t all hearts and flowers. Sometimes their sexy bodies and beautiful faces are just a pretty shield to hide the crazy, and he’s so freakin’ over crazy. Been there, done that. He has the divorce papers to prove it. Karma hits like a bitch. Aspen needs a break. A long one that doesn’t include anything with a Y chromosome. Not even one as tempting as her new neighbor who just moved in across the street. Men are trouble with a capital freakin’ T, and she has the ankle monitor to prove it. The last man she gave her heart to was a police officer. A man whose life was dedicated to protection; he was supposed to protect her heart—not break it. She decides right then and there that she’s done with being the better person. Everything happens for a reason. A rash decision—undoubtedly regrettable, undeniably unforgettable. In the heat of the moment, Aspen’s actions with a tire iron and her ex-boyfriend’s brand new SUV land him in the ER getting stitches and have her seeing the inside of a jail cell for the first time. It’s just her luck that the whole town is there to witness the result of her poor decision, including her police officer brother and the neighbor that already made it more than clear she was more trouble than she was worth. House arrest never looked so good. Hide your crazy. Drew enjoyed the show, though. For the first time in a year, he’s thinking about his life, and how it would be a lot more enjoyable with a woman like Aspen at his side. Maybe crazy isn’t so bad after all.

Prologue

Twenty years earlier

Beavers Bend. Broken Bow, Oklahoma

I watched him play football for nearly an hour with my brother, completely and totally enraptured by him.

“Mom!” I hissed at my mother. “Do you see that teenage boy over there?”

My mother turned from the magazine that was in her hands, to me.

“Yes, baby,” she said. “What about him?”

Everyone had seen him. I’m not sure why I was bothering pointing the man—teenager—out to her.

“I’m going to marry him,” I informed her.

She blinked.

“What?” She whispered in shock. “Why do you say that?”

I looked back over at the teenager, that wasn’t so much of a teenager but more of a young man on his way to adulthood, and back to her.

“We just are. I’ve decided.”

She laughed.

“You’ve decided, huh?” She teased.

I nodded.

“And how are you going to accomplish that?” She wondered.

“She’s going to demand it of him, Mother,” Downy, my brother who wasn’t very happy about being on vacation with us, drawled.

Downy and the teenager were probably similar in age, although that’s where the similarities ended.

Downy had red hair, where the teenager had blonde.

Downy’s ugly eyes had nothing on the teenager’s gray eyes that looked like they were ringed with green.

I couldn’t tell for certain, though, which was why I moved closer.

And found myself next to a couple that was excited about something.

“He’s getting married,” the woman was saying to the man. “To Constance. Isn’t that something?”

The man shrugged. “She’s not the best, but I guess she could be worse.”

The woman snorted. “Don’t let him hear you say that. They’ve been dating for four years now. And he knows everything, don’t you know?”

The man sighed.

“She’s cried every night this week because he’s been gone to the fire academy. How do you think she’s going to fare when he’s gone once every three days?” The man continued.

The woman had nothing to say to that, and I sat down in the chair right by them, hoping it wasn’t obvious what I was doing. I crossed my legs and started swinging my foot.

Then in a rush of moving limbs, the teenager took the seat, in between his parents and me.

He had his shirt off, and his skin was bronzed from the summer sun.

“Your mother tells me you’re getting married,” the man said to his son.

“Yep,” he confirmed.

“Why?”

The teenager paused. “Because I love her, Dad.”

My heart thumped painfully, and I couldn’t help but look over at the three of them.

I must have made a small noise because the father’s eyes went to me, then back to his son.

“But why do you love her?” He asked.

The teenager paused.

“Because, I just do.”

“You should really have a better answer than that,” I blurted out, immediately clamping my hands over my mouth.

All three of them looked over to me.

“What?” The teenager asked shortly.

I dropped my hands and smiled weakly, suddenly feeling incredibly stupid for offering my two cents when it wasn’t asked for.

My mother was always getting on to me about that, too.

“Uhh,” I said.

“Go on, child. Tell him what you meant,” the father urged.

I bit my lip.

“It’s just…if you really love her, you should know why you love her. You should be able to say more than ‘because I just do.’ You should love her because she makes you feel happy. Because she makes you sleep well at night. Because she makes you laugh. Because when you see her, your heart starts to race. Things like that,” I informed him. “’I just do’ isn’t a good enough reason. “

He blinked, surprised at how well I’d answered him.

And the father smiled.

“What she said.”

“Well,” the teenager growled. “You can’t take a ten-year-old’s opinion for shit, Dad. They don’t know anything.”

My mouth dropped open in affront.

“That wasn’t called for,” I blurted.

My brother showed up at my side, pulling me away from the three of them.

“She’s sorry,” Downy apologized to them. “She doesn’t realize how nosy she really is.”

I snatched my hand away from my brother.

“Get off me, you infidel,” I ordered crossly.

Downy laughed in my face, then dropped me back off to my mother before returning to the field.

It didn’t take long for the teenager to join Downy, and soon they had a full on football game again with a couple of other kids.

And I watched, and wondered, if maybe I was wrong about the teenager.

Maybe my instincts were off.

Then I decided that no, my instincts weren’t off. His probably were, though

He would be mine.

It might take a while, but he would.

No ifs, ands or buts about it.

Chapter 1

Men and women are different. If a man is scorned, he’ll show up at night. If a woman is scorned, she’ll show up at your job and smash your shit in front of everyone.

-Proven Fact

Aspen

I stood at my front window, eyes narrowed as I watched man after man move heavy boxes out of the back of a moving truck into the house directly across the street from mine.

Prologue

Every action has a reaction. Every step has a consequence.

-Fact of Life

Tai

“You’re fucking shitting me,” I said, staring at the papers that my friend just handed me.

“For real. They give you twenty-five hundred dollars just to donate sperm. It’s perfect. Seriously. Easiest three minutes I’ve ever given,” Johnathan grinned sheepishly.

I looked at him.

“That’s all it takes you; three minutes? You’re weak.” I punched him in the arm.

Johnathan hit me at a moment of weakness.

Any other time, and none of this would have mattered.

But then another bill had come in the mail, and I showed how weak I was.

“Thanks, Johnathan. I appreciate you telling me this, but I don’t think I’ll be able to do it. I don’t think I could live with myself knowing I had kids running around out there without me to watch over them.” And I really couldn’t.

My life was fucked up enough. I didn’t need to add a kid to the mix.

But the longer I thought about it, and the more I thought about the debt I had, the more and more appealing it sounded.

I had a thirty-five-hundred-dollar credit card bill right now that was simply gathering interest.

Before, when I’d lived in San Antonio, I was making more money. Nearly double what I was making now.

Now that I was living in Kilgore, though, I was making enough money to cover my house payment, truck payment, leaving just barely enough to eat, seeing as nearly half my check went to my debt.

I was a fucked up teenager, and it’d continued into my early twenties before I’d gotten my act together.

Now I was paying for my mistakes by not using my credit cards how they were intended to be used.

I’d gotten my debt down from more than eighteen grand to just over thirty-five hundred in four years.

Making that money look good since it meant I wouldn’t have to eat Ramen Noodles for the week if I followed through with it.

“Seriously, I think you should think about it. Carrie is letting me do it,” Johnathan said enthusiastically.

Carrie was the new girl he was seeing who he thought might turn into a full time thing.

“Alright, boys. Time for y’all to get to work. That truck ain’t gonna wash itself,” the chief called.

I sighed and picked my rag back up from the bucket, running it over the chrome of the fire truck.

But the idea of being a sperm donor took hold and, before I knew it, I was going up there after work for blood tests and sampling.

I was desperate.

“He’s got leukemia. At this point, the only thing that would help is a bone marrow transplant…or a blood transfusion from a sibling…or a parent that has the same blood type as him,” the oncologist that was taking care of Colt, said.

I looked over at Colt, taking in the deep circles under his eyes.

I had just thought he was sick with a stomach bug, but after four days of him still not feeling well, I’d decided to take him in.

And thank God I had.

“So what do I need to do?” I asked, leaning forward in my seat.

Colt grunted in affront that I would dare to move his bed, and I smiled down at my little boy, even though all I wanted to do was cry.

“We’ll get him in for more blood work. From there, we’ll test compatibility against our registered donors. Then we’ll take it from there,” he said softly.

I looked down at my sleeping baby, now knowing exactly what desperation felt like…because if it were possible to make him healthy, I’d steal, kill or lie to make it happen.

***

Later that afternoon, as I laid Colt down into his crib across the room from my bed, I stared at him in despair.

With one final caress to his head, I turned and headed down the hall, taking a seat at my computer to start the research process.

By the end of the night, I had a plan of action.

All it would take was getting my hands on a little sperm.

***

One month later

“But he was a perfect match,” I whispered, looking devastatingly at the phone like it was a live wire ready to lead me to my death. “No.”

I looked over at Colt.

That was my only chance.

Then the lady’s words repeated in my head, over and over again, taunting me.

“We’re sorry, but the man that was going to be the donor asked us to remove his specimen from our catalog. He had a change of heart.”

A change of heart.

Would he have had that change of heart had he known that he would be saving a life?

He’d been our only hope.

Some way--somehow--I had to change his mind.

Chapter 1

I just wanted to let you know, since I’ve started working here, my soul has died. You might be able to bring it back to life if you’d let us sip a little whiskey between clients.
