Excerpt

I had spent too long trying to dig myself out of the darkness, attempting to claw my way out of horror, and I had missed my chance at something more. My fault, I repeated to myself—all my fault.

“Kincaid?” the woman in front of me asked, her voice soft. “It’s good to finally meet you,” she said, although her voice was devoid of emotion. I didn’t know if she was lying or not.

I rolled my shoulders back. “I’m sorry for disturbing you so late. I just got into town. I’ll let you be. Sorry about this.” I turned to walk away, to let the pain ease ever so slightly even though I knew it never would, but a small hand grabbed my arm—the strength of the grip surprising me. I looked down at that diamond ring that had been put on her finger by the man I once loved. The man I still loved? I wasn’t sure.

“Come inside. Please.”

“I don’t think that would be a good idea,” I said.

Ronin didn’t say anything. And, somehow, that hurt worse than him yelling at me and throwing me out. But I would deserve it if he did. I deserved all of it.

“I’m Julia. Please, come inside. It’s late and getting a bit chilly. You don’t even have a coat on.”

“I’m fine,” I said.

“Please. You don’t want me to get mean.” Her eyes twinkled as I peered at her face.

This was the woman Ronin had married, and I liked her. She was firm, smiled, and looked like she would take no shit—the perfect partner for Ronin. She was so different from Alexis. I could already tell that, and maybe that was a good thing. She likely wouldn’t run away when things got tough.

Though I had no idea how I could tell that from a single touch, a momentary glance.

“Come on. Ronin and I were just cleaning up after dinner.”

That’s when I finally noticed the swollen lips—the tousled hair.

Oh, they had definitely been doing something after dinner, but it wasn’t cleaning up.

Jealousy slashed at me, but I pushed it away.

I deserved this, and so much more.

Finally, I looked at Ronin again, saw the longing mixed with anger in his gaze, and knew I couldn’t just leave. I would after, but I couldn’t hurt this woman, not when I knew if I walked away, I would only leave ashes in my wake for her to deal with. And neither of them deserved that.

“Okay, just for a moment.”



This story for a novella had a lot of depth and emotion to it, I truly expect that from a novel but when you get that from a book that is just over a hundred pages you know you are reading one very talented author.

Ronin is friends with Marcus and Julia works with and is friends with Ethan so that makes them honorary Montgomery's which I just love. But even being part of the big family there was just something missing from Ronin and Julia's marriage, now don't get me wrong these two are hopelessly in love with one another but they both knew they had more love to share. Well HELLO Kincaid! When Kincaid enters Ronin's life again after abruptly leaving years earlier Ronin is both shocked and hurt, but I really couldn't blame him for the way he felt only Julia saw something that neither of the men did......

You guys, I loved this story. You are going to love the tattooed ginger Kincaid, not to mention Ronin, and Julia who knew he was the perfect person to complete their little family.

If you have read this series this is a must read. If you are new to this series this is a great time to jump in because thanks to Carrie Ann Ryan and 1,001 Dark Nights we are gifted the perfect read for both lovers of the series and newbies. 

Happy Reading!!!
