Merci…
My husband Paul continually beat me down, and I was shattered because of it. Somewhere I'd heard the phrase 'When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.' Me, I went for the hard stuff, Fireball Whiskey.
And that's what sent me straight into the arms of Ryan West. That and the reality that he was kind, gorgeous, and incredibly sweet. Did I mention hot?
He made one thing clear for me, I couldn't stay with my abusive husband, or he would crush my spirit. I deserved so much more, and thanks to Ryan, I had the desire to go for it.
Ryan…
The weekend was here again, and I sat alone at the bar. One of these days, Tricia, would push me too hard, and I'd leave her for good. Wishful thinking will get you nowhere, old man.
If my marriage wasn't so unsatisfactory, maybe I wouldn't have noticed the blonde with the incredible legs. She looked like a fish out of water as she floundered in those heels in her hurry to get to the bar.
I did my best to focus on something – anything else but that beautiful woman. Instead, I order her another fireball whiskey. I didn't know it then, but because of my actions, nothing in my life would ever be the same again…
Get ready for the ride of your life. Will this be the end or the beginning for Merci and Ryan?
