"You can't lose a man you never had."
Being the other woman isn't shameful to Monique; it's safe. Safe from promises, safe from disappointment, and safe from ever needing someone enough to let them destroy her.
But when a man enters her life and refuses to treat her like a secret, Monique's carefully controlled world begins to unravel. Because for the first time, someone isn't choosing her in private.
He's choosing her openly.
And Monique has no idea how to survive being loved in the light.

He leaned his forehead against mine still holding me tight like he's was afraid of letting me go. He let out a breath and signed. "I couldn't.. I..just..did" he blurted out without looking me in the eyes with pain in his voice the heartbreaking, unforgiven truth. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Angel is the definition of the 'girl-next-door'.
