Meet
River & Marley in this emotionally twisted - unconventional stand alone by
Lisa DeJong
Break
Even is NOW AVAILABLE!
Blurb
My
story isn’t a love story … not the typical kind anyway.
As a
lawyer, I’m used to discovery, but I never saw this one coming.
Every
day, River gives me ten reasons to stay away, and then eleven reasons why I
can't. Our relationship was to remain strictly business, or at least I tried.
Four
years of marriage, and everything with Cole has changed. I never knew two
people who lived together could be so distant. But I’m not ready to give up on
him.
One
man wants to break me.
The
other is just trying to get even.
Both
are lying to me.
***This
is a standalone contemporary romance (though a little unconventional and
twisted!)
Excerpt
“What?” he asks, leaning his elbows on the table.
“This,” I say, gesturing between us, “would
never last more than one day.”
The ultra-cocky grin he had on his face the first
day I met him in my office is back. “You might think that, but there’s
something I know that you haven’t figured out yet.”
“And what’s that?”
He closes some of the space between us. “Every inch
of your perfect little body is aching to know what my hands would feel like.
Every. Fucking. Inch. You hold a shield up, thinking it will keep me away, but
there’s nothing I don’t see.”
My mouth hangs open. He’s so wrong, but he’s
so right. River is unlike anyone I’ve ever met. He’s untouchable—unobtainable—and
I’m married. The holes in my marriage have led me to think about things—him—in
a way I normally wouldn’t. When Cole touches me, he just doesn’t reach deep
enough. It’s left a void. I hate to admit it, but that’s just the way things
are.
Before I can come up with a rebuttal, the
waitress brings us our plates and sets them in front of us. Staring down, I
pretend my salad is the most interesting thing I’ve ever seen. The strawberries
and blueberries make it pretty.
“Did I strike a nerve?” he asks, sliding the
plate of fries so they’re within my view.
“You’re on every single one of them.”
He laughs sadistically. “But I’m right.”
“You’re wrong. I wouldn’t let you near me
even if I were single.” I pick up a piping hot fry and carefully bite into it.
“If you were single, I guarantee I’d have
you in my condo naked right now.”
