Happy tears.
I pulled my nose again and forced air into my lungs. “If you mean one
tenth of what you just said, I’m the happiest person in the world,” I
whispered, my voice threating to break off again.
“You’re everything to me,” he whispered in my ear. “You are my love,
Brooke. Losing you once was hard. I don’t think I could possibly survive it a
second time.”
“You had me at ‘everything.’” One look at him and he had me. Jett owned
my heart, my body,
my
soul.
Inhaling his intoxicating scent, I buried myself in his waiting arms and
closed my eyes against the cascade of butterfly kisses descending upon my face,
forgetting the world around us.
His green eyes, his whole being, and the things he did for me to keep me
safe had taken me by storm, captured my heart, and etched a love inside my soul
that could never be erased. And there I had been thinking I lost him; that the secrets
he had kept from me destroyed everything we had—only to find they only
brought us closer together.
Yes, love happens in the blink of an eye. It can change a person. I know
because it changed me. It changed him. It helped us ascend to a more meaningful
existence. And what’s more to the story: I gave him my heart, and Jett didn’t
crush it.
He made me his.
I knew he wouldn’t let me fall. Even in my darkest and gloomiest of
times, he wouldn’t let me drown.
The End
COMING SOON!
Once you have
found love, treasure it.
To My Readers: A
There are so many things I want to say at the end of a book. The story
of Brooke and Jett teaches that love can be found in the most unusual places
and it’s not always obvious at first. If there’s just one thing I learned from
writing CONQUER YOUR LOVE it that no matter who you love, don’t give up. Fight
for it. Conquer it, because in the end, love is worth the effort.
Of course this story is fictional and there’s no resemblance to the
living or dead, but between you and me, many people inspired it:
My grandparents, who raised me as my parents.
My best friend, who is in so many ways just like Sylvie. I adore her
quirks and the ability to see the bright side in everything she does. She’s
funny and sarcastic, and everything you could ever wish for in a friend.
My two children and, of course, the experience of
love.
I’m immensely grateful to those who’ve spread the word on
Facebook, on Twitter, and on their
blogs, and who have supported me by telling their friends and family.
I want to thank all bloggers for their support. My journey as a writer
started with you and I thank God every day for meeting amazing people like you.
And because reviews are hard to come by for indie authors, I want to
thank those who have taken the time to leave a review, no matter how short.
My gratitude also goes out to my kick ass editors, Janet Michelson and
Shannon
Wolfman
. You’ve done a tremendous job. You
guys absolutely rock.
Most important, my immense gratitude goes to you, my readers, for
reading and giving this story a chance. Without you, this book would not have
been written.
THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart.
