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.
