My story isn’t a love story … not the typical kind anyway.
As a lawyer, I’m used to discovery, but I never saw this
one coming.
Every day, River gives me ten reasons to stay away, and
then eleven reasons why I can't. Our relationship was to remain strictly
business, or at least I tried.
Four years of marriage, and everything with Cole has
changed. I never knew two people who lived together could be so distant. But
I’m not ready to give up on him.
One man wants to break me.
The other is just trying to get even.
Both are lying to me.
***This is a standalone contemporary romance (though a
little unconventional and twisted!)
Excerpt #1
My eyes
never leave my guest who’s dressed in a crisp navy blue suit, white shirt with
the top two buttons undone, and expensive brown leather belt and shoes—the kind
Cole works so hard for. River carries the look with ease.
“I hope I
didn’t interrupt,” he says, sauntering toward one of my guest chairs.
“You’re
early.”
He
shrugs, relaxing into his seat. “I was bored, and I’ve noticed you like your
coffee, so I thought I could buy you a cup. It’s the least I can do since
you’re going to have to put up with me all day.”
“Who said
you could barge into my office?”
He
smirks. Stupid dimple. “Your
secretary was missing so I helped myself.” His eyes stare into mine—too long
and far too intense. “I didn’t mean to interrupt your phone call with Mr.
Mason, by the way.”
“Something
tells me you’re not feeling all that guilty.”
“You’re
right, but I did learn something about you.” His elbow rests on the arm of the
chair, index finger brushing his chiseled jaw.
“What’s
that?” I ask, unable to look away.
“You
profess love with indifference.”
My mouth
falls open before I realize it. I quickly recover, searching for my voice.
“What do you know about love?”
“Enough,”
he says simply.

Review: 4 stars
I was kinda on the edge with this book. I liked it, but at the same time I didn't. It is a good book, just not exactly my cup of tea.
