Running Away
Just Say Yes, #4

Genre: Contemporary Romance
Out August 26, 2015
Nearing age thirty, Jeremy James is
cruising along in life, doing as he pleases. No girlfriend, no wife, no drama.
Women go as easily as they come, but inside, he feels something’s missing.
After the birth of his niece, Hannah, and a not so gentle nudge from his
sister, Zoey, Jeremy decides to make a change in his life and settle
down.
Then he meets Teagan Donnelly.
And she wants nothing to do with
him.
Teagan has recently come out of a
three year relationship with a man who cheated, shamed her, and berated her for
her weight and life choices. The once secure yet spirited woman cannot figure
out what Jeremy wants with her.
For Jeremy, it’s plain and simple.
He wants Teagan to stop running away and give him a chance. But for Teagan,
taking a chance with Jeremy means she could lose herself all over again.
Now,
I was taking her wishes seriously and moving on, quitting my “path of
self-destruction” as Teagan had called it. Well, if I was on a path of
self-destruction, Teagan was the fucking tour guide. Yes, I was angry with her,
but I’d finally accepted that we were over.
I
was tired of being miserable. Tired of not sleeping, and tired of being in my
house alone. As soon as I’d gotten home from the funeral, I’d packed all of my
clothes and personal shit I used every day, and had gone to stay at the
apartment above the shop.
Since
the apartment was fully furnished I hadn’t needed to bring anything from my
house. All the furniture and everything else could stay there for all I cared.
Which, in turn, made me feel extremely guilty after all the work my sister put
in to making my home perfect.
With
the apartment being quiet and containing nothing familiar to me, I’d finally
started to relax for the first time in months. The place held no reminders of
Teagan, no reminders of Cammie, and no reminders of the house that I loved so
much but which I knew I wouldn’t be going back to.
I
had tried to live a normal life. I had tried to make a home. I had tried
falling in love and making a life with someone.
I
had fucking failed.
Miserably.
Jen Andrews was
raised in a small town in Northern California, and still lives in the same
county where she was born. She is a self-proclaimed music and lyric addict. She
grew up in a ‘car family’ so her life has been spent around old hot rods. She
and her husband, Jake, even have a few of their own. In her spare time, Jen
loves to travel wherever she can. She finally lived her dream of traveling to
New Zealand to see her favorite rugby team, the All Blacks, play. Jen loves to
do photography as a hobby and continues to write.
