One night she catches him home alone. He’d been drinking or he’d never had let things go as far as they did. In a weak moment, he takes her to bed, only to wake up the next morning telling her it never should have happened and it was a mistake, despite the fact she was now twenty years old. Immediately, he sees he’s broken her heart, but he couldn’t help it. There was eight years between them and he just couldn’t get over that fact.
Thanks to his unkind words and actions, Calliope gives up and moves to Boulder. At first, he thought it was for the best. It would be good for her to date guys closer to her own age. Then he gets a phone call saying she’s been in an accident and is in the hospital. He rushes to her side and quickly sees how his hang-ups have affected her.
Realizing he could have lost her forever, and that his entire way of keeping her at a distance was completely jacked and jaded, he decides he doesn’t want to live his life without her any longer. He’s going to claim her as his, even if he has to fight Calliope herself. He only hopes that the one thing he’s been keeping from her doesn’t push her away forever.
I write MC romance with hot alpha bad boys and toe-curling love scenes. I love a good story where the hero doesn’t always wear a white hat and is willing to go to any lengths to claim his woman. The road to love isn’t always sunshine and roses. Sometimes it’s hard and messy. I love HEAs, but I love the ride that gets them there more.
