CHARM
Fifteen months ago, I lost Ryan Decker because when he needed me to choose him when instead I stayed silent.
I’ve spent every day since becoming someone who will never make that mistake again. I hit rock bottom and fought and clawed my way to the woman I am today. I take up space, say what I want, and stand beside the people I love without worrying about others opinions of me.
Now Ryan and I are the maid of honor and best man at our best friends’ four-day wedding celebration, and I not hoping to survive seeing him again.
I plan to win him back.
Ryan wants one weekend of what we could’ve been. No hiding. No expectations. No promises waiting for us when it ends. He calls it closure, but I want a second chance.
I warned him I wouldn’t fight fair with his blessing to do my best.
RYAN
Charm got help to bury her ghosts and now I need her to help me bury mine.
She thinks I left Michigan, moved to Milwaukee, and never looked back. That’s exactly what I wanted her to believe. She has no idea my suffering followed me there or how close it came to costing me the career I fought my entire life to earn. I made damn sure she never saw what losing her did to me.
Now she wants all the gory details.
She wants to know how badly I broke, how long it lasted, and why everyone except her knew. My pain isn’t a confession she gets to collect because she’s finally ready to hear it. She wants a second chance and I just want closure.
For four days, I’ll give us what we never had. I’ll touch her where everyone can see. I’ll let her stand beside me without shame, fear, or secrets between us. Maybe seeing what we could’ve been will finally settle something inside me. Maybe giving our ghost one perfect weekend is how I lay it to rest for good.
Charm thinks she can soften me enough to open the trapdoor I slammed shut on her fifteen months ago.
She forgets I don’t forgive easily, and I never forget.
FACEOFF is the emotional, high-heat conclusion to Ryan and Charm’s duet and must be read after POWER PLAY.
Genre: Romance
