Synopsis
I met
my muse at fifteen. I’d just gotten busted for smoking behind the school
gymnasium. She inspired me with her laugh and nonjudgmental attitude and,
before I knew it, we were inseparable. Then I left to pursue my rock star
dreams—dreams she encouraged.
I got
over Jaymes Grenier no problem. I never think about that little bow at the top
of her pink lips, or the way her green eyes admired mine. Nope, I barely recall
the way she fit so perfectly in my arms when I held her at night. The sweet way
she would whisper she loved me has long faded from memory.
These are
the lies I regularly tell myself in hopes of believing them one day. Yeah,
I was told I’d get over my first love.
I
didn’t.
Derrick
Masters marked me the moment we met back in ninth grade. He called me over—all
bravado and bad boy mystery wrapped in a James Dean-esque package. Dark hair
and blue eyes with a rebel without a cause charisma. He was everything I was
warned about, but I couldn’t resist. I was his from that moment on.
His career
took off almost as soon as he did. I knew it would. I just thought I would be
beside him as his partner in crime, best friend, and lover. That’s what we had
always been … before he left me behind to fend for myself.
Fend? Fight is more like it.
I’ve been
fighting ever since.
Fighting
for survival.
Fighting
for a better life in a world determined to keep me down.
I don’t
have the luxury of letting my head live in the lure of La La Land. His dreams
may have come true, but mine were extinguished. These days I fight for
something bigger than me, bigger than we were ever meant to be.
When
his dreams come crashing back into my reality, is this a second chance at that
fairy tale ending or another heartbreak in the making?
Living
in the capital of Texas with her family, Scott loves traveling and avocados,
beaches, and cooking with her kids. She's obsessed with epic romances and loves
a good plot twist. Her favorite color is blue, but she likens it more toward
the sky than the emotion. Her home is filled with the welcoming symbol of the
pineapple and finds surfing a challenge though she likes to think she's a pro.
