I’ve never
had a place to call home.
Growing up
in foster care, I learned not to get attached.
The day
Easton Chadwick walks into my life, my sense of self-preservation falls by the
wayside.
When I’m in
his arms, it’s easy to believe in the fairy tale. Then, tragedy strikes,
serving as a soul-crushing reminder that nothing lasts forever.
Suffocated
by fear, I pack my bags, leaving Easton and the town of Maplewood Falls behind.
Several
months later, I come face-to-face with the man who still owns nearly every part
of me, but one night fueled by alcohol and bad decisions doesn’t change
anything.
At least,
that’s what I tell myself …
Until those
two pink lines appear.
For the
first time in my life, I’m willing to lay my heart on the line for a family and
a place to call home.
Because
home is where love lives.

Excerpt
Our parents walked over, and my dad hauled me against his chest, hugging
me tight.
He pulled back, looked me in the eye, and then asked, “You okay, Tater
Tot?”
I held his gaze when I gave him my answer, “I’m okay, Daddy.”
He placed a kiss on my forehead. “You’re getting there, baby girl. You’re
getting there.”
“All right, stop monopolizing our daughter.”
“Patience has never been your mama’s strong suit,” Dad remarked.
She gigged him in the side.
Daddy gave her a stern look. “Woman.”
“I’ve been married to you for over thirty-four years. I’d say that’s some
kind of patience.” She cocked her hip.
“Is that right?”
“It sure is.”
My daddy gripped my mama around her waist, dipped her low, and kissed her
within an inch of her life. Catcalls and wolf whistles filled the air.
He held her tight as he stood. Mom buried her face in his chest. Daddy
wouldn’t let her hide though. He hooked his finger under her chin, tilting her
face upward.
Their eyes locked.
“I love you, baby,” he professed.
“I love you back.” She stood on her tiptoes and kissed him on the mouth.
Emotion swelled inside me at the sight of my parents. The love
surrounding them was tangible. They’d had so many years together. An old,
familiar ache flared in my chest.
My daddy always looked at my mama like she’d hung the moon and sprinkled
the stars in the night sky. When I was little, my mother had often told me to
marry a man who looked at me the way my father looked at her.
And so, I had. Then, I’d lost him.
I looked up to find Jase looking at me. And I saw it. The same look of
utter adoration my father wore every time my mother walked into the room.
Grandma’s words settled in my soul.
“One day, you’ll be
ready to open your heart again, and you’ll see that maybe where forever ends is
just a different beginning.”
I smiled at Jase with the pieces of my heart,
and he smiled at me with the whole of his.
