That moment your life
changes.
That moment that
changes your life.
That moment you love
someone more than you love yourself.
That was the moment
we gave our son up for adoption and the moment I was left bare. A wide-open
space that would forever be empty.
There are moments
that define you as a person, moments that prove just how strong you are, moments
you push yourself to keep going forward when all you really want to do is give
up. It was in one of those moments when I reached out and found him waiting for
me.
When Shelby Calder
left home fifteen years ago, she never planned on returning to the Alaskan town
she left behind. But after the death of her grandfather and a bitter divorce,
she hopes going home will be a fresh start for her and her ten-year-old son.
Zach Watters has made
a lot of mistakes in his life. But when he sees Shelby Calder, looking more
beautiful than ever, standing outside her childhood home, he promises himself
that letting her go won't be a mistake he ever makes again.
Some things never change and love is one of them.
Exclusive Excerpt
“Then why did you
marry her?” I ask, wondering if I’m really ready to go there with him, but it’s
too late to change my mind. The question is out, and as much as I don’t want to
know the answer, I need to know the answer.
“I wanted my kids to
have what I didn’t. I believed that, with time, we could find a way to be
happy.”
“Maybe we shouldn’t
talk about this,” I say, changing my mind as nausea and jealousy turn my
stomach.
“You loved your ex,
baby. I know you did. I didn’t have that. I wanted it but never had it with her
or anyone else since you.”
“Please stop.”
Feeling tears burn the back of my eyes for him, I close them tight. Max and I
were happy and in love in the beginning, and I hate knowing Zach never had
that… the kids didn’t see or feel that.
“I wish my past
didn’t hurt you so much. I’m sorry for hurting you the way I have. If I could
take your pain away, I would.” He gathers me against him and tucks my head
under his chin.
“As sad as it makes
me, I wish you would have had that with her or someone else,” I say, and his
arms tighten so much that my lungs compress.
“I don’t,” he growls.
“What?” I wheeze, and
he loosens his grip just enough for me to take a breath.
“I don’t want to
think about what would have happened if I had been with her or someone else
when you came back. I don’t want to face that demon inside of me that knows
what I would have done.”
“Zach—”
“I’ve been in love
with you for almost eighteen years. I carried your missing pieces around inside
me for that long, Shelby. I know it would have made me an asshole, but there is
only one you. You’re the only place I’ve ever called home.” His voice is thick
with emotion, and that wound inside of me fills up a little bit more. I hate
his words, but a part of me is relieved he feels that way, that he feels so
deeply for me.
“There’s been a wide
open space inside me since we placed Samuel and I left you behind. But, from
the moment I came back, it’s slowly been filling up.”
He goes quiet at my
words. Several moments pass before he speaks again. “One day, that space will
be full. I swear, with everything I have in me, I will make sure it’s
overflowing and that you never feel empty again.”

Aurora has quite
exceptional talent when it comes to telling amazing stories. This is a 4 star
story that I read in a matter of hours. It sucked me right in from the first
page to the last one.
This is about Zack
and Shelby whom share a very emotional past. They have not seen each other for
a few years that is until Shelby moves back to her home town where Zack still
lives. A lot has happen between the years separating them but can they rekindle
what they had?
This is a short, fast
story that was loaded with family drama. Although there was some things I
thought " what the eck", (which I don't want to spoil, ) I was not
too convinced of the plot and the direction it went. It still kept me glued to
my kindle until the very end though. It was intriguing and consuming.
Interesting storyline.
This is a standalone
told in a dual POV with another one at some point. I recommend reading this
story. My reviews are spoiler free so if you need more details on some event I
thought were a bit odd, look for a spoiler review. Aurora has quite a great
selection of great books to choose from.
