Synopsis
When
Ava Thompson met the cerulean eyed rock god, Jasper White, her whole world was
tipped on its axis, and nothing has been the same ever since.
Thankfully, life for Ava has settled, and that includes being in a healthy, stable relationship with Jasper at long last.
Their turbulent love has withstood many obstacles, but when not one, but two bombshells are dropped at Ava’s doorstep, will she and Jasper be able to survive? Will the cunning ex and bothersome mother rock the stable foundation they have built together?
Will Ava get her happy ending? And will that happy ending be with the man everyone desires?

Excerpt
I feel
ridiculous. And I bet I look ridiculous.
My
ingenious plan isn’t so genius now that I’m actually acting it out. I’m a tad
chilly and am getting a slight cramp, but I have no time to chicken out because
the front door downstairs has just closed.
My
plans of escape are long gone.
Rearranging
myself, I shuffle up the bed quietly, listening intently.
I can
hear bottles in the fridge rattle as Jasper opens the door, no doubt standing
in front of it, the dim light inside bouncing off his perfect features as he
grabs a beer.
I hope
he’s not hungry, as I can’t remain in this position much longer without losing
face.
Thankfully,
I hear his heavy footsteps trudge up the stairs, and my insides do a tiny
flip-flop in excitement, and trepidation.
This is
it, Ava. You’re a strong, powerful sexy woman. My goals are more important than
my fear. I am the lioness of the jungle, ready to pounce.
Who the
hell uses these positive affirmations, because they are so not helping right
now!
Taking
a deep, steady breath as Jasper opens his bedroom door, I can see he’s taken
aback when confronted with the millions of candles I have laid around the
bedroom, trying to set a mood, and hopefully, not setting the house on fire in
the process.
“What
the…” he gasps, and then his eyes land on his bed.
Well,
they land on me.
I am
lying on his bed, in the most seductive pose I can muster, without looking like
a total dweeb.
“Ava?”
he asks as he steps into his bedroom, slightly stunned to see me sprawled on
his bed like a Playboy Bunny.
“Happy
birthday,” I reply softly, giving him my best attempt at ‘bedroom eyes.’
I
practiced in the mirror for about twenty minutes, so it better come across as
sexy, and not like I’m severely cross-eyed.
He
strolls over to the end of the bed, looking down where I lay, propped up on one
elbow with a knee bent, gazing up at him.
“Th-thanks,”
he stutters while eying my body not so discreetly.
Win for
me! Jasper, who is usually so eloquent, is lost for words.
Smoothing
out my black chiffon nightgown, which scarcely covers my bare skin, Jasper
watches intently as my hands glide over my flesh. I demand the blush about to
creep over my body to keep away, because now is not the time for modesty.
He
licks his bow lips and runs a hand through his hair, fisting it into a messy
peak. He looks amazing. Even at 2a.m., after working all night, he looks
as if he’s stepped off a runway in his grey sleeveless hoodie and faded blue
jeans, which are tucked into his loosely tied, scuffed combat boots.
“Are
you my birthday present?” he asks, his eyes lingering on the sheer material at
my breasts.
Before
I have a chance to answer or blush he adds, “Because if you are, I want to
unwrap you now.”
