Emmalynne Morgan thought that getting married to her High School sweetheart and starting a family was all she wanted in life. Everything was perfect until circumstances changed and devastating blows occurred. Fast forward five years, Emmalynne thought she was broken, not only emotionally but physically as well, so her confidence was severely lacking. Being a single mother to her son, Tucker, as well as an owner of a small town Bookstore, she did everything she could to keep men at arms-length, not thinking she was worthy anymore with her plus-sized body and scars. Grady Finnegan was the gorgeous new guy in town. Recently injured and discharged from the Army, Grady came to his Uncle’s aid in helping manage the family bar. Not being anywhere near innocent when it came to women, Grady met Emmalynne and he knew one thing, that he wanted her. Sparks flew and passion ignited, but would that be enough? Not ready to lay her heart on the line, Emmalynne guarded it as best she could and ultimately failed. When chaos erupts and Grady's past comes back to haunt him, it leaves Emmalynne's already broken heart, shattered. Will past circumstances prevent Emmalynne from having the future she deserved? Or can Grady help her follow her heart and show her that she is Not Alone?


 

The doorbell rang. I jerked my head towards the direction of the clock. Four fifty-five. Dang he was early.

Turning the knob to the front door, I muttered under my breath, “Here goes nothing.” As I swung open the door, my heart faltered. There was Grady in all his hot male glory. And he was smiling. Be still my beating heart, he is breathtaking. He was wearing faded jeans, a black long-sleeved button up shirt, with the sleeves rolled up halfway, showcasing his muscular arms, and black motorcycle boots. “Jesus Christ on a cracker,” I muttered.

“What was that?” he asked with a smirk.

Realizing I had been caught ogling, I said, “Oh, I meant, hello, come on in.” Good save. NOT.

He stepped inside and closed the door. He then, turned towards me and said, “First thing, there is something I’ve been dying to do.” The next thing I knew he was pushing me up against the wall as he cupped my jaw with his hands and pressed his lips to mine. I gasped, not even the in slightest bit expecting him to kiss me. He took my gasp as an invitation and slipped his tongue into my mouth. And oh, what a wonderful tongue it was. Inside I was doing a major happy dance. I finally got over my shock, wrapped my arms around his waist, and returned his kiss. The kiss was hot and heavy. I was feeling a tingle in the pit of my stomach, feelings that had been awakened by this beautiful man. Feelings I had long ago forgotten. We continued exploring each other’s mouths, it could have been minutes, it could have been hours, then, all too quickly he pulled away, resting his forehead against mine.

The heat in his eyes made my stomach quiver even more with anticipation. “Wow,” we both breathe simultaneously. And wow was right I’d never had such a reaction to a kiss. That soul-searing, earth shattering feeling; holy mother of mercy my mind was blown.

“Sorry I’ve been thinking about that all day. I know you tried kissing me last night, but with you intoxicated and just being attacked, I couldn’t bring myself to kiss you. I knew I would lose control once my lips touched yours and I was right.”

All the reasons I had running through my head as to why he didn’t kiss me last night suddenly went out the window. He had proven me wrong. Perhaps, in this case, the hot guy actually dug the fat girl. I supposed, in some strange universe, it could happen.

“Okay,“ I breathed out. I couldn’t come up with a better response, and that one said it all.

 I currently reside in Southern Indiana with my husband and two daughters. I spent most of my life trying to get out of Indiana, then spent four years trying to get back in, once my husband enlisted in the US Army and we were stationed at Fort Hood, Texas. I am a stay at home mom and wouldn't have it any other way. Even though most of my time is spent transporting my girls to their various sports activities or running them back and forth to school, it is a blessing just to be with them each and every day. I am a concert and road trip junkie! I love the thrill of seeing my favorite bands live, and just having fun on the open road. My kindle has become like an extra appendage, as it is never far from my side. I became obsessed with books a little more than a year and a half ago and wished I had gotten into them much sooner!! My love of reading is what sparked my passion for writing, and now it's one of my favorite things that I do for myself.
