Synopsis
Ava Thompson left the love of her life, Jasper White, to unearth her
destiny. Even though the decision was the toughest of her life, it was the only
way for Ava to grow into the woman she’s always wanted to become.
Sadly, that destiny has led her back to the place that broke her.
Singapore.
And more importantly, it has led her back to the man who broke her.
Harper.
But Ava is no longer the scared, lost girl she once was. Ava is
stronger, and she will not allow her past, taint her future.
Six months later, Ava travels back to Los Angeles for an event that
embraces the true meaning of love. Sadly for Ava, her meaning of true love has
been lost.
And that’s because of one life changing event that has altered her life
forever.
Los Angeles is not how Ava left it. Things have changed. People have
changed. She has changed. But what has remained untouched is her passionate
love for Jasper White.
Excerpt
Searching
the venue for a couple of minutes, I don’t see Jasper anywhere, but I have an
inkling as to where he will be. Exiting the building, the fresh breeze off the
lake hits me in the face, and I sigh contentedly, because after the heated
evening I’ve just had, I embrace the coolness.
Walking
through the enchanted gardens at night is simply stunning, and it really will
be breathtaking for V’s wedding tomorrow. I can smell lavender, lemongrass and
fresh pine needles the further I extend into the gardens, and the smell is
heavenly, and somewhat calming. I need all the serenity I can get at the
moment, and will treasure anything to calm my racing heart.
Approaching
the grassy hill, I find him where I thought he would be. He is standing near
the red boathouse, overlooking the lake, while taking a drag of his cigarette.
Advancing
cautiously, not wanting to startle him as he looks to be deep in thought, I
watch the love of my life closely. His messy hair is catching in the gentle
wind, ruffling it further, and I chew the inside of my cheek when I stop to
take him in. He is simply beautiful. I know the word handsome is usually better
suited to describe the opposite sex, but Jasper, he is nothing short of mind
blowing.
He senses
my approach, and turns around to face me. The hurt in his eyes drowns my heart
in grief, and I mumble, “I’m sorry.”
But he
doesn’t reply, he is merely motionless, searching my face. I shuffle slightly when I witness him raking
over my body, from head to toe.
“You're
mine,” he sneers after a minute of silence, meeting my eyes.
Nodding
quickly, slightly stunned by his possessiveness, I whisper, “I am. I always
have been.”
