Synopsis -
Blake
Bentley had a rough upbringing, never fully believing he was good enough for
anything or anyone. After being left with a broken heart by his only
girlfriend, Blake swore off relationships for good and turned to the only two
things that made him feel sufficient - sex and firefighting.
Tessa Collins was brought up in the traditional 'perfect' family - loving parents, great sister, and amazing friends. After falling in love with Jared, her life was perfect - until he betrayed her. She has no idea that his betrayal could end up costing her more than just a shattered heart.
Blake and Tessa have been friends since high school. Never wanting to admit their attraction for each other, the two always remained close friends. Now, three years later, Blake and Tessa find themselves being pulled together by a force much greater than friendship.

Promise Me Always Excerpt
Prologue
Four years ago...
(Blake)
You're worthless.
A fucking accident.
You don't deserve shit.
Those words had been resounding
in my head my whole life and, right now, they were blaring louder than ever.
She was gone and I knew why. She finally saw the truth, she finally realized
she was too good for me and that's why she left.
He was right—I wasn't good enough. I never would be.
"Blake, hand me the
crescent wrench, would ya?" Devin asked from under the hood of the Bronco,
snapping me from my thoughts.
I usually hated hanging out
with my brother when he worked on cars, but anything was better than sitting at
home alone. At least here I could try to get my mind off of the destruction
that was my life.
I handed Dev the wrench and
then took a seat in the corner of the garage, popping open my third beer of the
day. Devin usually hated it when I drank—he was such a hypocrite. He was drunk
every weekend in high school, yet had the nerve to get mad at me when I had one
lousy beer. Today, he was making an exception. It was my first weekend without
her and he knew I was devastated.
"How's she coming?"
Cole asked as he and Shane entered the garage.
Cole was one of Devin's best
friends. The carburetor on his Ford Bronco needed to be replaced and Cole
didn't let anyone, but my brother, touch his baby. Shane was Cole's neighbor
and was always around. He went to school with me but was a senior this year
instead of a junior.
"Almost finished, man. She
should be good as new once I'm done," Devin replied, his head still buried
in the engine.
"Thanks, Dev," Cole
said as he took a seat next to me. "So, Blake, how are you holding
up?" He asked, slapping me on the back.
I didn't even know how to
answer him. I was fucking falling apart, but there was no way I was telling him
that. I just shrugged my shoulders and tossed back a large swig of beer.
Maybe if I drink enough, it will numb the pain.
"That bad, huh?" He
said as he gave me a pathetic look. "Don't sweat it, man. She's obviously
psycho—what kind of person does something like that, anyway?"
Shane started to laugh and, for
a moment, all I wanted to do was kick his ass. "You just need to get
drunk, find some hot piece of ass, and forget about her," he said
nonchalantly from the corner.
If only it were that easy. I
didn't know if I would ever be able to forget about her, but getting drunk
seemed like the perfect place to start. "Step one – check," I said,
as I held my beer can up in the air.
"And it looks like step
two just arrived." I heard Devin say with a chuckle, nodding his head down
the driveway. "Looks like Palmer brought that hot piece of ass with
her."
"Holy shit! I call
dibs," Shane said, a little too eagerly. All Shane thought about was sex.
He was hornier than Devin. The only difference was that Devin had standards.
Shane would screw anything, as long as it was female.
"Hell, that isn't a piece
of ass. That's Palmer's little sister!" Cole exclaimed as he stood up.
Before he headed their way, he added quietly, "I'm not kidding. She's off
limits. Palmer will kill you if you even look at her wrong and then she'll kill
me for being friends with you."
I still hadn't even seen the
girl they were talking about, not that it mattered. The way I was feeling, a
fucking Victoria's Secret model could be walking up the driveway and I wouldn't
care. There was only one face I wanted to see and I knew whoever was walking up
the driveway—it wasn't her.
I watched as Cole came back
into the garage. Palmer was right next to him, his arm draped around her
shoulders.
"Hey guys!" Palmer
said cheerfully. "Do any of you know my sister?"
Devin finally took his head out
of the Bronco and looked up to where I'm assuming Palmer's sister was standing.
He looked like a total dumbass, standing there and staring at her with a stupid
smile on his face. I looked over at Shane and he was watching her with the same
dopy smile as my brother.
"No, we don’t," Devin
said, taking a step closer and wiping his hands off on a towel.
"And it's a damn shame.
Where have you been hiding her, Palmer?" Shane said, sounding like a
complete moron. He was on his feet in no time, looking like he had just won the
lottery. I couldn't believe them. They were acting like she was a fucking
supermodel or some shit.
Not fucking caring who her
sister was, I dropped my head and looked at the beer can in my hands. I pulled
back and forth on the tab until it broke off, furiously flicking it towards the
trash can and missing it entirely. With a heavy sigh, I got up and headed over
to pick it up.
"Well, Tess, this is
Devin, Shane and that angry fella in the back there–that’s Blake. Guys, this is
Tessa," Palmer announced.
Not wanting to be a complete
jackass, I threw the tab in the trash and turned to say hello. I suddenly
understood why Devin and Shane were staring like idiots. All the air left my
lungs at the sight of her. She was glowing brighter than the sun in her yellow
dress and light pouring in from behind her made her look like an angel. The
corners of my mouth turned upward and I realized I was gazing at her like a
goddamn fool as well. Shit, she probably
thinks we’re all insane. I tried to look away, but I couldn't. I couldn't
tell what it was, but there was something special about her. I had never seen
anything so beautiful in all my life and then she smiled at me………
Always Yours (Always 2) Synopsis

wealthy media mogul, had ever associated with women. When he met Amber Murphy
his senior year in high school, he felt like, for once, this girl loved him for

Prologue
14 Years Ago....
Cara
Just then I heard my daddy's voice
as it drifted up the stairs and into my bedroom.
"Tell her whatever you want
to, Maggie. I'm leaving!" I took a deep breath. He sounded angry.
Wait! Where was he going?
He just got home from another
stupid business trip. I never got to spend time with him. He was always
working. I couldn't even remember the last time he had been home for more than
two days. I missed him like any little girl would miss their father and I think
he finally noticed. Before he left on this last trip, he had promised me that
this weekend he would make it up to me by spending every day with just me. I
was so excited to finally get some daddy-daughter time with him that I counted
down the days until he returned.
Everything was silent, except the
painful sobs of my mother. Quietly, I climbed out of my bed, opened the door
and sat down at the top of the stairs so I could hear them better.
Between Mommy's sobs, I heard her
softly ask, "How could you do this?"
I heard Daddy expel a loud sigh.
"Christ, Maggie, you think I like doing this? You think I like living a
lie?" He paused and it got quiet for a second. "Rochelle is pregnant
again."
Who cares if she's having a baby? Why did they always fight about her?
"I can't keep living like
this, Mags." His voice sounded soft and sad. "I have to make a choice
and Rochelle and the girls...they need me more right now."
The girls? Who was he talking about?
"They need you?" Mommy
said, her voice turning angry. "What about Cara? She needs you, too!"
I put my hands over my ears. Mommy's voice was loud. "I've known about you
and Rochelle for years now, but I stayed, for Cara's sake! And now, just
because you fucked up again, you're going to run out on her like this—abandon
her without even saying goodbye? She deserves more than that from her
father!"
Daddy, please don't leave me.
That's when my tummy started to
hurt. Frantically, I ran down the stairs—I wanted to go with him.
When I rounded the corner to the
living room, I saw my mommy sitting on the floor, her knees pulled into her
chest, tears pouring down her face. She looked so sad. My dad was standing by
the front door, luggage in hand, as he pushed his fingers through his hair—his
face blank.
"Daddy, don't leave!" I
cried as I flung myself into his arms. The tears started pouring from my eyes.
He wrapped his arms around me and held me tight.
"I have to, princess. Your
mother and I....we...." He sighed. "I have to go." He removed my
arms from his waist and turned to the door, opening it slowly.
"Take me with you, please,
Daddy! I want to go with you!" I begged as I grabbed hold of his leg for
dear life.
He stopped and knelt down in front
of me. "You'll always be my little princess, Cara, but right now you have
to stay with Mommy." He wiped the tears from my face. "I need some
time with..."
"Rochelle?" I choked out.
His head fell and he nodded slowly.
"I won't get in the way. I
promise! I'll be really good! Please, just take me with you, Daddy!" I
cried out. "Don't you want me with you?"
"Of course I want you with me,
princess," he said as he placed his hands on my shoulders. "But I
can't take you with me. Now, be a good girl and go back to bed. I'll see you
again soon." He kissed my forehead and stood back up. Grabbing his
suitcase, he walked out the door.
He was really leaving me here. How could he not want me? I was his
princess.
Before he could shut it I ran after
him. "Daddy! No!" I screamed as my sobs took over. "I'm coming
with you!" I followed him down the porch stairs and into the dark. When we
got to the car, I opened up the passenger door and got in as he placed his bag
in the trunk.
Just as I was buckling my seat
belt, I felt my daddy's strong grip around my arm. "That's enough,
Cara!" he yelled, startling me. His tone was cold. It scared me. He yanked
me out of the car and shut the door. Pain shot through my arm as he squeezed
it. Shaking my shoulders, he continued shouting at me. "Stop acting like a
baby! You can't come! Go back inside with Mommy and leave me alone!"
His words crushed me. I looked up
at him and didn't know who he was—he wasn't my daddy anymore. I could feel it.
Rochelle had been slowly taking him away, but now, looking into his unfamiliar
eyes, I knew he was completely gone. I sunk down to the ground and pulled my
knees into my chest as I rocked back and forth, trying to comfort myself as I
watched him get into the car. I looked out into the darkness, staring at the
taillights as they disappeared around the corner.
I never saw him again.
