Synopsis
“The dogs that deserved a chance, the guy who
needed a second, and the girl determined to save him.”
My name is Emma Sawyer.
I met Charlie and Wyatt on the same sultry, summer day. It was unexpected, leaving a feeling in the pit of my stomach like the time I drove too fast over Beckett Hill. The moment happened out of nowhere, all fast and quick and a little strange. Or maybe that was just Wyatt’s personality.
It was Charlie that brought us together. Little Charlie with those ridiculous ears. I found the dog, waiting in a pool of his own blood. Waiting for someone. Waiting for me.
Now Wyatt, he wasn’t waiting for anyone. At least that’s what he said, except I saw something different in the broken guy all alone out in the woods. I knew he needed me before he knew it himself.
Wyatt with his hidden dimples. Wyatt with his warnings to stay away. He was a hard lump of coal, ready to burn everything around him. The more he burned, the more it pulled me into the pain I saw etched on his troubled face.
I wanted to help Wyatt. I wanted to save him like he had saved all the Charlies in the world. He told me not to fall for him, but I did anyway. I fell hard and fast and deeply in love with Wyatt Caulfield.
But that was before I knew his secret.

Excerpt
He rested his hands
on my shoulders, fiddling with my scarf. I knew he was sad that I was leaving
and he was worried about me driving in the middle of the night. I wished that I
could say, I’ll text you when I get home. But that’s not how things worked
between us.
“I’ll be okay,” I
whispered.
“I know. I just . .
. I know.” He let out a deep breath, pulling me to his chest. His mouth found
my lips, tugging possessively until they were slightly sore from his kiss. And
then he abruptly released me. Backing away a few steps, Wyatt let his eyes
wander over me as he slipped away into some hazy stare in the moonlit shadows.
“What?”
“I’m just trying to
remember you like this.” His low voice hung on each word. “With your hair
falling down around your shoulders and that sleepy look in your eyes. And your
lips all red from me kissing you. That’s what I want to remember. When I’m out
here alone and I feel like I’m losing my mind. I want to picture you like
this.”
I stared back at
him, feeling my heart beat wildly in my chest. After a few moments, I climbed
inside my car and drove away as my insides turned into complete mush. That
might be the sweetest and most heart-wrenching thing Wyatt had ever said to me.
