Liese is finally
moving on with Frey by her side. But sometimes letting go is the hardest part,
and trusting is a risk one has to take. In between her practicum and spending
time with Frey whenever he is town, she fights her insecurities, and wins. Then
something happens and Frey's priorities momentarily shift, making her second
guess their relationship. Suddenly, going back to their former best friends
status has never looked so appealing.
Frey's
life has never shined so bright now that Liese is his. But there is a part of
him that is shrouded by memories he'd rather have them buried where no one can
touch them. Not even him. But even buried memories and people can't
stay hidden for forever. What Liese doesn't know is that Frey isn't about to
let go so easily, and he will throw in everything he's got to stop her from
leaving him. He has waited an eternity for her. Giving her up is not an option.

Sneak Peek:
“What, Liese?”
“You’ve been on my case about seeing the therapist. Telling
me that life goes on. And I listened to you, Frey. I listened.”
God, her eyes! Why wasn’t he immune to them? She blinked the
lush lashes fringing her chocolate browns and he felt the ribbon of anger he
was holding on to loosen.
“You gave me hope. You were there for me. Remember what you
said to me?”
He’d said a lot of things to her, some of them very
inappropriate for this conversation. He sighed and shook his head.
“When life hands you lemons, don’t squeeze them into your
eyes. Make lemonade. Add sugar, honey. And better yet if you manage to make
orangeade. Make life sweeter. Worth living.”
He turned away from her. Was she really throwing his own
words back to him? God, this hurt so damn much. Her slender, warm fingers left
his and touched his cheek, and he had no choice but to lean in. He shifted
around to look at her.
“I think it’s time, Frey. You’ve been avoiding this far too
long.”
He hadn’t been avoiding it. He just didn’t want to relive
this in front of a stupid therapist, or anyone, for that matter. Funny how
pretentious he felt, when he’d all but hauled Liese to the therapist’s office.
But he could handle his own loss. He’d done well so far.
“I can’t talk about Kris. Please. Don’t make me do this.”
“Frey…just because you don’t want to talk about your brother
doesn’t mean those memories will just vanish. They will consume you, and
eventually destroy you. Trust me. I know.”
Desperate to keep himself from curling into a heap on the
floor, he grabbed her by the waist and crushed her into him, seeking her warmth
against his suddenly chilled body. Immediately she returned his hug with an
equally strong one. Her heart beat fast where their chests touched, skin on
skin. How had this gone from the best morning ever to the worst moment, so
fast?
