CAPTURED

Life is a series of moments.
Like making my first million—it was amazing, but nothing compared to the moment I saw Emery. She was the one…the game changer. The long-time, self-pronounced bachelor was ready to give it all away with one look, and luckily, she felt the same. We fell in love despite the haters and laughed at the nay-sayers who swore we would never work. It didn’t matter to us that we were from different worlds. We loved each other and the life we had planned. It was perfect. Until they took her away from me. The moment I saw her life leave her eyes, I became something she would never recognize. Revenge colored my world, and nothing would make me happy until I filled the hole Emery left behind. Years of searching, of fighting against those who wronged me and punishing others who never deserved my wrath led me to Willow Summer’s door. Something shifted, leaving me to wonder if I’d release her from her pain, or if she’d release me from mine. Love created a monster, and maybe now, love can set him free.

HEARTS INTERTWINED
Braxton Michaels never thought of Paisley Reed as the other half of his heart. He loved her like family—the kind of love that meant someone would always be in your life, but not the kind that had him wanting to run down the aisle. At least, that was what he told himself.
When tragedy struck, leaving him and his daughter all alone, Paisley stepped in to help. It didn’t take him long to start seeing Paisley for the precious gem she was, but did he realize this a little too late?
***
Paisley Reed had always loved Braxton, but she knew there was no way he’d ever see her as more than his best friend. Her love went unrequited for far too many years. Finally, she’d given up, sealed a piece of her heart under lock and key, and learned to live with the knowledge that Braxton would never be hers.
Then fate opened the door for her in an unimaginable way. Does she take a leap, unlock her heart, and hope for the best? Or should she continue being his best friend, knowing he’ll never love her as much as she loves him?
