Scarlett's Will by Nicole Jardine (i like reading .txt) 📗

can’t get to him. I can’t call him. I can’t go home with him again.

~~~

I put the rest of my son’s eighteenth birthday cake back into the box. I picked up my phone and flipped through the photos from his party, stopping on the one where he’s grinning and staring into the camera. He has his father’s eyes, steel blue and serious.

I wipe my tears as I stand up. Reaching for my glass of red wine, I open the back door and walk out into the night, looking up at the dark sky. The stars are shining bright tonight, a million of them, like scattered diamonds.

“I hope you can see the stars from wherever you are baby, they are beautiful tonight?” I said aloud as I tried to let him go, again.

JUDE’S SALVATION (This Love Book One)

Eden always believed she lived a perfectly ordinary life. She lives in a beautiful home with a mother, a father and a sister she loves. She's been given an Ivy league education, trips around the world and a closet full of designer clothes. She wants for nothing, until cracks begin to form in her perfect little world.

Cold sweat and tears become a nightly ritual. Faces she doesn’t remember haunt her.

A fateful trip to London begins the unraveling of her so-called perfect life.

When a voice rings out in a crowded pub, it slams her with images of a boy that once held her; a boy that gave her comfort when she was going through hell. His voice cuts through the walls she built up in her mind to block out the pain.

The voice belongs to a man she still needs, a man that hasn't given up his oath to keep her from her fate.

Jude's obsessed with the girl he couldn't save. He was only nineteen when he held her cold, shaking body against his. He stared into haunting green eyes and knew she was meant to be his, but she slipped through his fingers.

Disappeared.

Now that he has her, no one will take her from him again.

She is his.

Owned.

Until her master comes calling.

 

 

EDEN’S WEAKNESS (This Love Book Two)

Jude and Eden have met twice. The first time she fell in love with him she was trapped in a warehouse, cold and alone. Paying for her mother’s sins. He was the light in the darkness. He shouldn’t have been there, he shouldn’t have gotten into her cage, but she felt like his and he needed her. She was his salvation.

The second time they met she was trapped in her mind. Eden’s memory was lost to her, his memory gone but not his voice. That is all it took for everything to come crashing down around them. The cracks in her perfect life begin to shatter and he becomes Eden’s weakness.

To keep him I had to fight, but first I had to fall.

In just three nights, all was lost.

Lex took everything away from me. Keeping Jude was no longer an option.

He was my weakness and I had to let him go.

The woman he loved no longer existed.

Hope was all I had that maybe, someday when Lex was dead, I could have Jude back but until that day love would remain out of reach.

ONE MORE LIE

Kathleen Rosen-Wade

I wasn’t looking for love, I was seeking one man and for one reason only. I needed an investor and everything in me believed Justin Dimon was the one to ask. I was willing to beg, to offer all I could to keep the family business out of the hands of my father’s oldest rival. He had been through so much pain, I couldn’t sit back and do nothing. I fled to the enemy, working under his watchful eye as I built up my courage to offer Dimon a deal.

Meeting Jagger Davis wasn’t part of the plan. He was a distraction. He consumed my thoughts and my time, which I didn’t have much of. Over and over, I told myself to let this delicious, beautiful man go so I could get what I came here for, but I couldn’t. Even when doubts began to swim in my head, when things about him just didn’t add up, I still couldn’t walk away. I was addicted to him, to his touch, his sexy as sin grin and his lies.

Justin Dimon

I always get what I want and I wanted Kathleen Rosen-Wade. Once I captured my prey I always let them go, but not her. She was mine and I wasn’t about to share, regardless of the club members expectations. She had been brought to me for a reason and I intended to find out why. Becoming her protector, her benefactor, her lover was never planned, but when I’m with her all my carefully laid out plans fly out the window. When I’m with her the life I have carefully built to keep myself protected and unavailable doesn’t seem to matter anymore. She smiles and all I want is to let her in. She releases me from a life I was thrown into, a life I thought I was destined to live alone.

But one more lie will shatter the illusion, one more lie will break the spell we’ve been under.
