BLURB:
Delilah Steele was
living the high life. She had a high-powered job, a man she loved
and nothing was holding her back. When her world, and her trust, was
irrevocably shattered by the man she loved, Delilah had no choice but to return
to the town she grew up in – and couldn’t wait to leave. There, she
goes to work for Aiden Dean, a handsome heartbreaker who seems to have his eye
on Delilah. When Delilah’s long-absent father arrives on the scene, she has to
figure out how to cope with his presence and desire to be a part of her
life. Now Delilah has to learn how to live – and love – all over
again. Will her hard knocks past continue to haunt her, or will
Aiden break through her tough exterior and show her that forever can be a good
thing?

First Heartbreak
He had a Mohawk.
I hate to break it to you all, but unless we talk junior
high type heartbreak, I’ve never had my heart broken. My husband and I were
high school sweethearts. We’ve been together since we were fifteen.
But, oh, in junior high…
His name was Chris.
He was in a band.
He had a Mohawk.
And he was way too cool for me.
We had one glorious summer together before he figured that
out.
Where I grew up, there wasn’t much traffic; we played
baseball in the street rather than walk the four blocks to the park. Chris and
I met playing ball. We fell in lurve. He did bike jumps over me. He wrote me
songs.
One day, he was just done. I was blindly in love and never
saw it coming. I cried, and cried, and cried, and then I met my hubs.
I ran into Chris again as an adult. He lives right up the
street and his daughters go to school with my kids. His wife is great. And I am
so over him. ;) He’s still a great guy, but not half as great as my hubs.
