I feel like I've been slapped across the face. Blindsided.

This couldn't have been the first time they fucked each other. It had to have been going on for a while. How did I not see it? Unless I was at work, I was generally with one of them. Between wedding planning and social engagements, Garrett and I were busy. Kendra was right there with us, helping with the little details. Offering to take care of things for me when the end of the school year had me stressed out.

If they had been sneaking around, I would have seen the signs. Right?

Does it even matter now?

Watching her ride him was enough. There's no doubt in my mind after seeing that. No matter when it started or how long it's been going on, they can have each other now. I want nothing to do with either of them.

I should have called them out when I caught them. Instead, I ran. Right out the closest set of doors and into Liam's firm chest. My face must have said it all. One look at me and he swooped me up in his arms and carried me away, leaving his date hollering after us.

My eyes were locked on the church as he drove past. My heart broke a little more when I spotted Liam's father out front. Probably looking for me. Waiting to walk me down the aisle.

I'll have to apologize to him later. To explain why I disappeared. But not yet. I'm not ready. It was hard enough to get the words out when Liam finally asked what happened. At least with him, I didn't have to sugarcoat things or watch my language.

I found Garrett fucking Kendra.

That was my answer. Plain and simple. And because he knows me better than anyone else, he knew not to push me any further. Not that I could have answered any questions if he had asked them.

I don't know what would possess my best friend to fuck my future husband. I don't know what they were thinking. I'm not sure what I did to deserve their betrayal.

Klara Woods is an aspiring writer … with no inspiration.
After one too many disastrous relationships, her quest for a leading man has
fizzled out. Bored with her mundane lifestyle, she decides to do whatever it
takes to get her head back in the game. When she finds out that one of her
favorite authors, Christopher Kaiser, is leading a writers workshop, she’s the
first in line to sign up. Could he help spark her creativity again, or will
this be just another one of her bad decisions?



Christopher Kaiser is an international best-selling author whose books have
taken the romance genre by storm. Rumor has it that his sexy stories are
inspired by personal experiences with his many so-called muses. Touted as one
of the South’s most notorious playboys, Christopher is too busy living his best
life to settle down anytime soon. Besides, what would happen with his writing
if he gave up his “explorations”?



Determined to take matters into her own hands, Klara decides to jump-start her
love life with a catastrophe of her own making. Unfortunately, an innocent
bystander prevents her desperate attempt for attention by rescuing her from yet
another one of her bad decisions. Annoyed—and also a bit turned on by this sexy
new hero—Klara goes home, defeated. Forcing herself to focus on her writing,
she shows up to her first workshop and quickly learns that her hero from
earlier is none other than her instructor, Christopher Kaiser. Will she
actually learn something from this, or will she be too distracted by her hots
for the teacher?

"There is just something about a vulnerable hero that gets me every time and Chad Wilcox was no exception. His pain becomes your pain thanks to Kelsey’s descriptive writing and the ability to invoke emotional pull. And, with a nickname like Chaddington Bear, he is everything." - Bree, Goodreads reviewer

"I'm a big Kelsey fan, so I knew I'd love this book before knowing anything about it. What I didn't know is how deep it would move me. I should have known though, because she always finds a way to break the mold and set a new standard of excellence." - Katie, Goodreads reviewer

"This is one of those times I am thanking my lucky stars I took a chance on a new-to-me author. The writing was engaging, smart, and effortless to read. The storytelling was honest and sweetly addicting. I craved it when I wasn’t reading it, I wanted to sink into it for hours, lose time with these wonderful characters and their original, adorable, emotionally satisfying love story. I can’t say it enough: I loved it! I adored it! This is an absolute MUST read!" - Bookgasms Book Blog


Guitarist Chad Wilcox's life isn't going according to plan. 

At thirty, he never thought he'd still be unmarried and living with his parents. And with the added stress of his poor health, he's convinced the only thing within his control is the success he's found as a rockstar.

After reconnecting with his childhood best friend, Chad sets into motion a new plan to regain control over his happiness, and things start looking up. But when he finds himself diagnosed with a potentially debilitating chronic illness, he begins to wonder...

Is this as good as it's going to get? Or is it at all possible for a guy like him to get everything he's ever wished for?





“What’s that look for?” she asked with a giggle, as she reached around to secure her bra.

I shook my head as a smile stretched over my lips. “Nothin’. Just …” I swallowed at the warmth crowding my heart and my lungs. “You’re my best friend.”

She tugged a tank top on and sighed, her exhale lingering in the air. “You’re mine.”

Mine. The word was simple and yet held the world. It was an agreement, it was possession. It was an invisible contract that lingered between us, and I would’ve gladly used my own blood to sign on the dotted line.

But instead of pricking a finger and sealing the deal, I simply nodded, as only two words left my mouth.

“I’m yours.”
