About the author

A.L. now spends her days writing in Southern Arizona where she lives with her husband and three beautiful children. Her favorite pastime is spending time with the ones she loves.

Excerpt
I’d been in love once. It was that stupid
kind of love that had kept me awake at night, wanting more. But she’d never really even been mine. I’d
been young enough—foolish enough—to hope what we felt for each other could
overcome her past, but not naïve enough to really believe it would ever work
out.
Knowing that didn’t mean losing her hadn’t
torn me apart. Even if she didn’t choose me, I’d been desperate to save her
from that path. But some things had been so deeply embedded in her that I
doubted she’d really ever had a chance of breaking free of them. It was so
ingrained she believed it was the only way to live.
I rolled onto my other side and squeezed my
eyes shut as I attempted to force the memory of her face from my mind, but it
was just as vivid as the day she’d forced me out of her life.
She’d touched me deeper than anyone ever
had—deeper than I’d believed anyone could.
Pressing my face into my pillow, I allowed
a glimmer of her presence to invade. That smile. . .so innocent and sweet. How
she’d look at me with those warm brown eyes. The way her timid, trusting hands
felt as they lightly skimmed over my skin. Even the memory stole my breath.
Sometimes I wished I could erase the mark
she’d left on me, that I could finally be free of this ache. Another part of me
held onto it because it was the only thing she’d left me with. The only thing I
had to prove that what we’d shared had been real.
