Everlasting Love | Everlasting — Book One

A scarred cinnamon roll Hero/single mom romance

Shane

The army took more from me than I’d like to admit—even to myself.

I’m still trying to navigate my new normal while taking care of the people I feel indebted to …

Because while I came home, one of my best friends didn’t.

And I can’t help but feel responsible.

My life has been passing me by in still frames and black and white …

Until the moment I see her.

I’m captivated.

I don’t deserve her when all I do is fail the people around me.

But life keeps throwing me in her path …

That has to mean something, right?

Violet

My life isn’t going the way I planned.

I thought I was getting my happily ever after but the man I thought was my forever turned out to be nothing more than a waste of my time.

The only silver lining in that mistake?

I got my sweet daughter, my world, out of it.

When I meet Shane, I’m not looking for anything …

But the way he makes me feel with just one glance—it’s impossible to ignore.

The cherry on top?

He and my daughter have an instant connection that makes me believe better things are on the horizon.

Everlasting love is hard to come by …

Especially when we both have demons in our pasts that threaten to ruin our future.

Grab this emotional, steam-filled contemporary romance about a damaged cinnamon roll veteran who believes he’s undeserving of the sexy single mom with a sweet daughter even though they may be exactly what he needs.

Here's a little taste ...

By the time my foot touches the top step, Jasmine’s fully awake and is smiling up at me. She wraps her little arms around my neck and lays a kiss on my bristly cheek. “You were sleeping on the couch with Mommy.”

“Yeah, we fell asleep.” We enter Jas’s bedroom, and I place her on her feet.

“Why?”

I grab her brush and start to carefully brush the tangles from her hair thinking about everything we talked about last night. Vi gave me the space to share some happy memories about Wyatt; something I haven’t done before. “We were talking and I guess we got tired.”

“What were you talking about?” I grab an elastic and smooth her hair into a ponytail like I’ve seen her wear before.

“My friend, Wyatt, and how his son Evan seems sad, and I don’t know how to make him feel better.”

“Why does Evan feel sad?” She spins around to face me, studying me closely.

“I think he misses his daddy.” Guilt snaps through my body like a current, making my heart stutter and tightening my stomach. This guilt is different from before. I no longer wish it had been me who died because if it’d been me, I wouldn’t be looking toward a possible future with this little girl and her mother.

She goes quiet for a long time and I realize my mistake. She probably misses her father. “Where’s his daddy?” she asks softly.

“He’s in heaven.”

She thinks for a long moment and tips her head toward her shoulder with a small smile. “I always feel better when Mommy hugs me.” She strips off her pajamas and grabs the school clothes she and Violet laid out last night. I spin around so she has privacy but not before I see the birthmark Violet told me about across her stomach.

I swallow past the thickness in my throat. “Hugs are definitely good.”

“Yeah, I love hugs. I can give Evan a hug and see if that makes him feel better.” My heart thumps against my ribs at her innate kindness.

“That’s really kind of you. Maybe when you come with me to soccer you can give him a hug.”

“Yay! I’d like that.” She steps in front of me fully dressed for school. “I’m hungry.” ~ Shane Sutton

What readers are saying ...

I think that this book is one of the most beautifully written and just plain beautiful books that I have ever read.

The SPICE y’all. OMFG let me tell you, Shane is not anyone that is like, so out there that he’s going to have you like “am I into that?” But he DE-LI-VERS 100% and I’m here for it.

–•–

Shane’s story is at times heartbreaking but the strength and courage he shows his loved ones is just wonderful. I was hooked from the beginning and I devoured this well written book and at times I had tears as he struggles to work through his demons.

–•–

This book was so beautiful in its delivery of trauma, guilt, and healing. Shane's story is heartbreaking.

This story starts off around the same timeline as Second Chance Summer, featuring Violet's sister Cassia and Shane's boss/best friend Toby. You may enjoy this story more if you read Second Chance Summer first but it's totally not necessary. The story is really well written, it flowed so well that made it super easy to read and enjoy the sexual tension building between Shane and Violet as they also build a friendship.
