Live the truth...

The truth about Hallie has torn Houston and Rory apart for a second time. Houston is finally unburdened of the secret his sister confided in him, but now he must deal with the aftermath.

He has vowed to set things right for Rory, and he's determined to get her back. But the destruction left in the wake of Hallie's letter is not the only obstacle he must face. Houston must find a way to win Rory back by showing her their story isn't over yet.

...or live the lie.

In her desperation to move past the anguish of Hallie's secret and Houston’s lies, Rory seeks solace in Liam. When Liam is transferred to another tech company in California, Rory jumps at his invitation to leave Portland, and her broken heart, behind. In California, Rory finds a friend who opens new doors for her in the literary world. But does this new friend have ulterior motives?

~Excerpt~

Rory

Three of the six booths are open in this tiny restaurant that, according to the maximum capacity sign on the wall, only seats forty people. But the air smells of coffee and bacon and my stomach growls at the sight of the large stack of pancakes being consumed at the table nearest us. I take a seat in a booth and raise my eyebrows when Liam sits next to me on the same side of the table instead of across from me.

“Just in case you need help staying warm,” he says with a wink.

I reach up and tug his beard and his eyes widen with surprise. This has naturally evolved into my signal to him that I want to be kissed. It all started with the first time he kissed me on Halloween and it’s continued from there.

Liam dressed up as an old-timey-outlaw-slash-hipster for Halloween, complete with a handlebar mustache, suspenders, bowler hat, and antique pistol. I dressed up as a librarian-feminist-hipster in a dowdy ankle-length skirt, Birkenstocks, faux hipster eyeglasses, and a dreadlocks wig. He had offered to pick me up at my apartment and take me to the party, but I insisted on driving to his brother Jared’s house in Tualatin. It was my way of making sure I didn’t drink too much and make a fool of myself on our first official date.

New social settings and I went together like sandpaper and condoms, so I was very pleased when Liam went out of his way to make sure I felt comfortable in my new environment. He waited outside until I arrived, so I wouldn’t have to search the house for him. Then he introduced me to everyone he knew, which was almost all of the thirty-some guests. Though I felt a bit like a first grader being introduced to my classmates, it was cute.

Anytime I began to feel awkward, he could sense it. He would excuse us both, then he’d pull me aside to chat, just the two of us. When one of Liam’s female college buddies recognized me from our days at the University of Oregon and asked if I was doing okay, he rescued me by answering, “She’s definitely not okay. Look at her! She hasn’t cut her hair in five years. Why do you think she’s wearing such a long skirt?”

I laughed so hard I almost peed my pants. And, as seductive as a joke about ankle-length pubic hair can be, I managed to keep myself from ripping his clothes off and blowing him right there. Though I was quite content when he later pulled me aside into a dark hallway to ask if I was truly okay.

I reached up and tugged the two-inch-long beard at the base of his chin. “Pretty soon you’ll need a long skirt to cover this.”

His eyes locked on mine and a beautiful smile curled the edges of his mouth. “Two steps ahead of you. Already put one on layaway at Walmart.”

The kindness in his eyes turned into a dark hunger, and I gulped down my nerves in anticipation of his next move. His head tilted slightly as he moved in. The curve of his smile disappeared as I let go of his beard. Then I closed my eyes, waiting for the first contact.

~REVIEW~ 

Houston may be free from his sister secret but there's a lot of damage that needs to be fixed but first he has to fix his life. Once Houston is on the right track he will go after Rory will everything he has hopefully she won't be able to resist him. Rory is determined to move on away from Houston and everyone she loves. She cares for Liam but he's just on Houston. When things go horribly wrong for Rory the only person she knows who can save her is Houston. Just as we think these two are finally on the road to recovery things blow up but the books ends before we know where all the pieces fall. 

Some sex scenes -nothing detailed or raunchy.
