When Our Stories Collide
"We were complete opposites. Jackson's life before me consisted of him pushing away anyone who tried to get close, while I wore my heart on my sleeve." ---------------------------- Maggie Carpenter is a waitress at a high-end club in Arizona who loves nothing more than a quiet night cozying up with a good book. One fateful night she ends up serving Jackson Porter, a devastatingly handsome yet brooding British author, celebrating the National Book Awards nomination for his newest novel. It's an instant magnetic attraction for the two of them but there's just one problem, they're polar opposites. Due to his abnormal upbringing, Jackson's life before Maggie consisted of him pushing away anyone who tried to get close, while she was an open book who always wore her heart on her sleeve. He had tattoos, piercings, and cursed like a sailor, yet she was mild-mannered and did everything to please those around her. Both stubborn in their own ways, Maggie needs someone to show her how to live in the moment, yet Jack needs someone to keep him grounded. Jackson lives his life wild and free, while Maggie toils her life away living vicariously through the pages in her books. But the reality is, neither of them were really living until their stories collided. Excerpt- "I know that I've fallen in love with a man who isn't ready to catch me but that's the crazy part about it, isn't it? You don't get to choose who you love or when it happens. There are no warning signs to keep you from getting too close to the edge. It's like a roller coaster, exhilarating and terrifying at the same time." Will she end up convincing him their love is worth the fall or simply be used as a pawn in his latest book?
