Praise for RUINED:
“Tracy

Ethan. Ethan. Ethan.
His name is pounding in my blood, a mantra in my soul.
Ethan. Ethan. Ethan.
All
that work. All those hours and days of trying to move on. All those
assurances to myself that I had this, that I could do it. All of it
blown out of the water in one fell swoop.
Ethan. Ethan. Ethan.
He’s here, right here in front of me. And despite everything, it’s all I can do not to fall straight into him.
I
don’t know what to do, what to say, how to act. There’s a part of me
that wants nothing more than to run across the room and throw myself
into his lap. To bury my face in his neck and beg him to never let me
go. To pretend that the last two weeks never happened and that, somehow,
someway, all the pain, all the agony, was nothing but a nightmare gone
awry.
But
there’s another part—equally as big and equally as important—that wants
to run away. Or at least dive behind the nearest chair and not come out
until he’s gone. Until he’s no longer looking at me like he saw a
ghost.
Or worse.
Of
the two choices, the second is definitely the smarter one. Humiliating,
yes. Unprofessional, absolutely. But still so much better than standing
here remembering what it feels like to be held by him.
To be loved by him.
And
yet, even knowing what a terrible idea it is, I can’t stop myself from
taking a step toward him, then another and another. In seconds, I’m
standing right in front of him, close enough to touch his soft hair and
smoothly shaven cheeks. Close enough to register the uneven rise and
fall of his chest beneath the navy silk of his shirt. More than close
enough to feel his heartbeat if I just reach out and stroke my hands
down his chest as I’m longing to do.
“Ethan.”
His name is a tortured sound ripped from me, half whisper, half sob,
but I can see by the way his eyes narrow and his fists clench that he
hears me. Can tell by the way he looks at me that he understands all the
things I don’t have the words to say.
He
doesn’t react for a long time, doesn’t so much as move a muscle. Then,
suddenly, he’s leaning forward in his chair, and I think that he’s going
to be the one to do it, to break the oh-so-fragile understanding
between us. To touch me the way I’ve been longing to be touched from the
moment I left him in that parking lot.
But then his eyes go blank and he’s looking through me like I’m not even here.
Or worse, like I never was.
Tracy
Wolff collects books, English degrees and lipsticks and has been known
to forget where—and sometimes who—she is when immersed in a great novel.
At six she wrote her first short story—something with a rainbow and a
prince—and at seven she forayed into the wonderful world of girls lit
with her first Judy Blume
novel. By ten she’d read everything in the young adult and classics
sections of her local bookstore, so in desperation her mom started her
on romance novels. And from the first page of the first book, Tracy knew
she’d found her life-long love. Now an English professor at her local
community college, she writes romances that run the gamut from
contemporary to paranormal to erotic suspense.
