-Something left out, not done, or neglected.
Strong and resilient, Payton has
always been able to pick up the pieces of her tragic life and move on, but not
without hesitance when it came to letting others in. Until recently, she’s done
it alone, but now there’s Garrett, and he wants nothing more than to be in her
life. She is finally finding it easier to leave the hurt and fear behind her
for good.
Harboring secrets of his own,
Garrett knows it is best to stay away from Payton, but knowing and doing are
two different things, and he just can’t seem to stay away from her.
An unexpected encounter brought
Garrett into Payton’s life. Mutual attraction and eventually love has kept him
there, but will secrets and lies prove to be too much for them both? What
happens when Payton's past comes back to haunt her? Will this tear them apart
forever?
I am a wife to my soul-mate, loving mom to two girls who have the amazing
ability to make me both laugh hysterically and want to pull my hair out within
the same five minutes, and mommy to a fifteen year old rescue dog who is
thirteen pounds of pure man!
I'm an autism advocate, dreamer, and Indie Author of Contemporary Romance. I
believe in "Happily Ever After", and love living vicariously through
my books.
Instead of turning into a pumpkin at midnight, I turn into an author,
creating my stories when the house is quiet. I read at least three books a week
and know every Disney Junior theme song, and can belt them out with the best of
them.

“Why are
you here then, Garrett? You’re wasting your time. I’m obviously not your usual
type of girl.” She looked at me with hurt in her eyes. I had hurt her, and it
was tearing me up inside.
“That’s exactly
why I’m here,” I confessed. “You’re not like anyone I’ve ever met. There is a
sweetness about you that is so pure, but then you have no problem putting me or
my friends in their place. You’re strong and stubborn, yet delicate all at the
same time. I can’t get you out of my head, and believe me I’ve tried. That’s
why I stayed away before.” I dropped my hands from her shoulders to my sides. I
took a deep breath. “I don’t look at you as a conquest. That’s why I went after
Ryan. I didn’t like that he was looking at you like that. That’s not what you
are—you’re so much more,” I whispered as I turned to leave.
“Garrett?” I heard her whisper. I turned around, and
before I could react, she had her lips pressed to mine. I stood there, shocked,
as her lips moved against mine, and when they parted slightly, I answered the
invite by pressing my tongue into her mouth. She let out a small moan, and it
set me off. I kissed her with unyielding passion like I’d never kissed anyone
before. Everything about her was exquisite. Her taste, the way her tongue moved
against mine, the way she sucked softly on my bottom lip, the way she pressed
her small body into mine.
closer to me, letting one hand drift
farther down her back until it rested on the waist of her jeans. I held her
head in place with my other hand as I ran it through her hair at the top of her
neck.
She finally pulled back, looking up at me, out of
breath. Her beautiful blue eyes shimmered with tears. “Oh shit, Payton, I’m
sorry. Please don’t cry.” I pulled her into my arms, kissing her on the head. I
pulled her to the couch and continued to hold her as she cried.
