That’s all it was supposed to be. No strings attached, no feelings, no heartache.
But if I thought Sean Riley would be content having only parts of me, I was dead wrong. His persistence wore me down and I found myself in the one situation I was trying to avoid.
Little does he know a life with me will lead to nothing but disappointment and heartbreak. He’s a good man and deserves everything I can’t give him. Not because I don’t want to, but because I’m unable.
Pushing him away in the beginning was to protect me, now I’m trying to protect him as I gear up for the fight of my life.
A fight I could lose.
Getting into a relationship was my risk, but as things get worse, I’m not the only one who will have something to lose.
I just hope it’s worth it.
“Come back to me,” I finally plead. She looks into my eyes and there’s so much pain I can’t stand it. “I don’t know how.” Her voice is strained as she tries to hold back the tears. “Let me help you.” I cup her face and she leans into it. “I just want to stop feeling this way and I can’t.” A tear falls down her cheek. “Like what?” She pauses and says, “Empty.”
This is an epic read. I loved it! It has the right amount of emotions, romance, and humour.

This is amazing book, I quite enjoyed reading about two of now my most favourite characters. Paige & Sean deserve happiness and this book is all about them finding it. I'd definitely recommend this book to every contemporary romance fan out there. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I did. But the Rachael Duncan is one of my favourite authors who never disappoint me. ;)
P.S. I received a complimentary copy of this book.
