Meet River & Marley in
this emotionally twisted - unconventional stand alone by Lisa DeJong
My story isn’t a love story
… not the typical kind anyway.
As a lawyer, I’m used to
discovery, but I never saw this one coming.
Every day, River gives me
ten reasons to stay away, and then eleven reasons why I can't. Our relationship
was to remain strictly business, or at least I tried.
Four years of marriage, and
everything with Cole has changed. I never knew two people who lived together
could be so distant. But I’m not ready to give up on him.
One man wants to break me.
The other is just trying to
get even.
Both are lying to me.
***This is a standalone
contemporary romance (though a little unconventional and twisted!)
Excerpt
My eyes never leave my guest who’s dressed in a crisp navy
blue suit, white shirt with the top two buttons undone, and expensive brown
leather belt and shoes—the kind Cole works so hard for. River carries the look
with ease.
“I hope I didn’t interrupt,” he says, sauntering toward
one of my guest chairs.
“You’re early.”
He shrugs, relaxing into his seat. “I was bored, and I’ve
noticed you like your coffee, so I thought I could buy you a cup. It’s the
least I can do since you’re going to have to put up with me all day.”
“Who said you could barge into my office?”
He smirks. Stupid
dimple. “Your secretary was missing so I helped myself.” His eyes stare
into mine—too long and far too intense. “I didn’t mean to interrupt your phone
call with Mr. Mason, by the way.”
“Something tells me you’re not feeling all that guilty.”
“You’re right, but I did learn something about you.” His
elbow rests on the arm of the chair, index finger brushing his chiseled jaw.
“What’s that?” I ask, unable to look away.
“You profess love with indifference.”
My mouth falls open before I realize it. I quickly
recover, searching for my voice. “What do you know about love?”
“Enough,” he says simply.
