When I Break Read online

  “I can’t stand by and watch you use random girls and then cuddle with me at night like everything is fine.”

  Angry hands tore through his hair, leaving it standing in disarray. Our happy memories of just last night seemed like so long ago. “You think this is a surprise for me? I told you I’d fuck this up.”

  I hated hearing him admitting defeat, for not fighting for this—for me. When he was ready to change and grow, he would. I’d wanted to be part of his growth process, but it seemed I hadn’t been. I wasn’t the girl to change him.

  “I’m not right for you. I’m all hard edges and a mistake-riddled past. I’m too fucked up for someone like you. You have to see that. No amount of counseling or talking will fix the shit I’ve done, McKenna. You should leave while you can.”

  I was quiet while he spoke, my head empty and my heart in tatters. Knox was trouble; I should say good-bye and move on with my life. I needed to stop playing house with him and his brothers before it was too late.

  I just didn’t want to.

  Stay Tuned for…

  When I Surrender

  Coming soon!

  Undaunted by Knox’s complicated history with sexual addiction, McKenna pushes forward in her relationship with this deliciously flawed man. She experiences the highest highs as they discover each other, along with the lowest lows, and worries that his past may not be entirely behind him.

  But when a complication from her own past demands attention, she is forced to decide where their relationship is headed, and everything she thought she knew is questioned.

  When I Surrender is Book 2 in the When I Break series.
