G'day, ,
Ahhhhhh!
Everlasting Promises is now LIVE and AVAILABLE on Amazon and in Kindle Unlimited for your reading pleasure!
Early reviews have been heartwarming.
This book was an emotional writing experience from start to finish for me as I lost my love at a young age. Thinking back to my early twenties reopened old wounds and writing Hope's story helped to heal some of those still-jagged edges.
I hope this story helps others to heal and to learn that it's okay to live and love again. Little by little ...
This is the story of one woman's journey toward healing and learning to live and love again. It's emotional and heartbreaking in parts, but it has a guaranteed HEA as all my stories do, as well as a cinnamon roll Hero who will melt your heart. 😉
One of my favourite scenes ...
“Why does he feel guilty?”
Silence ensues and worry worms its way through my gut that I’ve pushed her too far, too soon. She doesn’t know me. “He survived the blast that killed Wyatt. He didn’t come out unscathed, but he felt he should have been the one to die so Wyatt could come back to us.” Keeping her eyes downcast, she plucks at the grass. “He felt his life wasn’t as important as Wyatt’s because he didn’t have a family.” The desire to drag her into my lap and wrap my arms around her is strong, so I pluck at the grass in front of me, too.
Fuck. That’s heavy. “I can’t imagine”—I look off into the distance—“can’t fathom the pain he experienced to feel that way.”
She sighs heavily. “Yeah. He’s a really great guy and has been so good to me and Evan. I just want him to be happy. I want Evan to be happy too, you know.”
“What about you?” The words escape my mouth before my brain can engage to stop them.
Her eyes dart up to me, brows dipping low. “What do you mean?”
I stop tugging the grass and lock eyes with hers—my gray to her aquamarine. “What about your happiness?”
“I’m happy when Evan’s happy.” Her cheeks rise a little. “He’s happy today. Happier than I’ve seen him in ages, and that makes me happy.” She steals her eyes away and murmurs, “I had my turn at happiness.” She shrugs carelessly, like she didn’t just shatter my heart into fragments that I’m not sure I’ll be able to piece back together. “It’s their turn now.”
“Why does it have to be your turn or their turn? Why can’t you all be happy?” I need to understand.
Her shoulders push back, and I watch her as she steels her spine. Her eyes find mine and lock me in place. “Have you ever promised someone forever, Ben?” She doesn’t stop so I can respond; she pushes on. “Because I did. And even though Wyatt’s not here to hold up his end of our promise, I am. Every day for the rest of my life, I will keep my promise to love him. It’s not easy when I miss him with every fiber of my being, but a promise is a promise.” I swallow, absorbing her pain and loss as it hits me like a wave. “Happiness is scarce when your hopes and dreams are stolen abruptly with no time to prepare or come up with contingency plans. My life is no longer how I want it to be. My plans … destroyed. Devastation resides in its place. Happiness can’t survive in that environment.” She swipes angrily at her freckle-covered cheeks.
The urge to reach across and take her hand in mine to offer her comfort is overwhelming.
She’s still buried so deep in her grief; I’m surprised she’s functioning at all. I look at her with new eyes and admiration for the steel in her spine and the strength it’s taken for her to still turn up every day for her son.
