"Long live Lord Avery! Long live the Storm!"
~
"What are you trying to do?" the blonde asked, crossing his arms over his chest and moving into Avery's line of sight.
"I want to right some wrongs and have a little fun, eh?"
"You want to find her?"
"Yes."
"And bring her back?"
"Ideally, yes."
Dale shuffled about for a minute before answering with one final question.
"And if the lady does not wish it?"
Avery smiled a wry smile.
"So be it. Either way, she will be my undoing, I can promise you that. Be good, old chap. When I get back, I expect a happy glow spread all around this country. Can you do that for me?"

Never in a million years did I think love at first sight existed but dammit was I wrong. I have nightmares, I ran far to get away from my ex.

Second No More, a novel
I've dreamed of the perfect marriage ever since I was a little girl: a marriage complete with a hardworking husband while I tended to the home and our children, preferably four little rugrats to call my own. I dreamed of a life filled with laughter, joy, and success, a life we built together. I dreamed of growing old next to my husband, creating a great love story to tell our grandchildren someday. It all seemed so possible. I was raised to be the perfect wife, after all. From the outside, it seemed I had exactly what I dreamed of with the rich, determined husband; the brilliant, gaudy diamond ring; and the beautiful home filled with the hope of future children. Yes, it was all a dream come true. I should have felt grateful, really. The problem is, I also wanted a marriage based on love, passion, and affection, but those are the only things my husband cannot give me . . . . . . because they're reserved for her.

Her Legacy (Royal Wolves #1)
“Hello, gorgeous,” he said staring at me with amusement in his eyes. He had finally stopped walking and he stood exactly one inch from me. I stepped back my eyes going wide. Who the hell was this guy? Why did he feel so comfortable standing next to me butt naked? And why didn’t he carry any extra clothes with him as all other were’s did? God, he was so damn sexy. He stood at about six foot five, he had black hair that fell in waves around his shoulder, golden brown eyes, and a face that an angel would be jealous of and a body built with muscles. I wanted to look to see if he had a six pack but I knew that if I looked then I would see other things that I wasn’t ready to see from any guy.

"It has taken a hold off you," I said and grabbed him by the throat from behind, tilting his head back, and made him look at me. He gasped as his eyes found mine. "What happened to You?" He croaked.

I was so damn naive it's no wonder I've ended up here. Kidnapped by the man who promised me forever, just as I'd begun to understand the depths of his betrayal. It's a sad truth I didn't marry my husband for love. I married him for the life he promised to provide, and if I'm honest with myself, I married him in hopes one day he'd fill the void Lucas-my first love-left behind. Now after so many years, they're both back. And in my desperation to feel loved, to be wanted and chosen I've walked straight into this trap. All because I forgot life's harshest lesson... I'm not enough. No matter how much or how fiercely I love, the choice will never be me. Especially now.
