Author: Cecilia Robert

Genre: New Adult Contemporary

Release Date: December 13, 2013

Description:

Liese is finally moving on with Frey by her side. But sometimes letting go is the hardest part, and trusting is a risk one has to take. In between her practicum and spending time with Frey whenever he is town, she fights her insecurities, and wins. Then something happens and Frey's priorities momentarily shift, making her second guess their relationship. Suddenly, going back to their former best friends status has never looked so appealing.

Frey's life has never shined so bright now that Liese is his. But there is a part of him that is shrouded by memories he'd rather have them buried where no one can touch them. Not even him. But even buried memories and people can't stay hidden for forever. What Liese doesn't know is that Frey isn't about to let go so easily, and he will throw in everything he's got to stop her from leaving him. He has waited an eternity for her. Giving her up is not an option.

“Like what you see?”

“Love what I see.” She fisted her hands to stop herself from patting her heated cheeks, and forced herself to meet his eyes.

Frey smiled smugly. Maybe having him strut around naked hadn’t been a very good idea. He seemed to be reveling in it a little too much. She grabbed the sheet to tie around his hips at the same time he circled his hands on her waist and lifted her onto his lap. He leaned forward to the breakfast tray, and poured tea in her purple mug and coffee in his.

“Already tired of worshipping my body?”

She looked away from his too-observing eyes. “I-I wasn’t worshiping.” She totally had been.

“Just tallying up your attributes.” Along with the wall of abs. Had he always had them?

“Your tongue was hanging out. Oh Jesus, look at these sheets. Is that…drool?” He made a face.

She swatted his arm, then leaned into his hard stomach and sighed. “I don’t want to leave this bed,” Liese said.

“Who said anything about leaving? I haven’t had enough of you yet, Li.”

“My appointment with Frau Khan is at ten-thirty.” Her therapist had the most grandmotherly face she’d ever seen on anyone, and was very patient, with a voice so soft yet firm. Enough to make one spill one’s secrets without a second thought.

Frey seemed to perk up. “Well, in that case, you are allowed to leave the bed.” He grinned, handing her a roll buttered and slathered with jam, just the way she liked it. He traced a finger across her hairline and down the side of her face and all she wanted was to melt on his lap. “How are the headaches?”

“Better.” A few weeks back, after she’d begun her therapy sessions, her doctor had begun to slowly taper her off the antidepressants. The change had hit her hard at first, considering she’d relied heavily on the medication the last two years. Her body was finally accommodating the dosages, and having Frey in her life made things somehow…bearable.

There's always a happy ever after, no matter how long it takes for the characters to get there.
