Synopsis:
A conversation I was
never supposed to hear.
A bargain I had no
right to make.
A promise I couldn’t
break, no matter the consequences.
It cost me what I
love most.
Her.
I know Eden thinks
it’s all my fault.
And it is.
But it’s hers,
too. Because she ran, vanished, before I had a chance to explain.
Before I had a
chance to tell her the one thing that could’ve saved us.
Now she’s back and
I’m determined to make up for all the years we lost.
Determined to win
back the woman who’s always been mine...
Consequences
be damned.

2018 RETURNING TO EDEN
Katy
Ames
I blame it on
jet-lag. On lack of sleep and food. On grief. On the simple fact that
I’m back in this goddamn town, facing down all these tired ghosts.
Any or all explain why I’m seeing things.
Seeing him.
For a split second
my memory supplies a snapshot of the boy I grew up loving. I see the
curl of hair on his neck, that one that would never straighten, no
matter how many times he smoothed it. I glimpse his newly-muscled
shoulders, too broad for his teenage body and the reason why his arms
hung slightly away from his sides. And there’s the shadow of
stubble dancing around his mobile lips, the ones I dreamed about for
more years than I dare count. The image is so clear, so perfect, so
forbidden, I have to haul in a breath. And, God help me, I swear I
catch a hint of grass and sun-baked sweat and sweet summer air.
My knees buckle
under the sheer joy that memory evokes. But it’s the realization
that it’s a mirage, a long-lost dream, that almost sends me
crashing to the sidewalk.
That boy is long
gone. As is the girl who worshiped him. Here, now, we’re just two
people in the same place.
Eyes wide, lungs
tight, I watch Jude, all long limbs and powerful body, stride across
the gallery before stopping in the center. His back is towards me,
his head turned as he scans the photographs lining the wall.
It doesn’t matter
how many times I blink or how many times I curse, he doesn’t
disappear. A battle blazes to life inside me. One of foolish hope and
familiar despair. My feet demand I leave as fast as possible. But my
traitorous fingers beg to get closer, to slip into that thick
mahogany hair, longer than it once was, and see if it’s as soft as
it used to be.
However fierce a
fight my body is waging, my mind is unhelpfully blank. A problem, I
realize, when Jude begins to turn towards me and I have only seconds
to decide if I’m going to flee. Or if I’m going to stay and face
the man who made me run away from home.
About
Katy Ames:
Katy Ames has spent
most of her life on the East Coast and hopes to spend more of it in
the UK, primarily so she can indulge in her serious plaid obsession.
There isn’t a teenage drama or a period British TV show she hasn’t
binge-watched at least twice. And she can be persuaded to do almost
anything with the promise of bourbon, chocolate, or a nap (not
necessarily in that order).
Katy is mom to a
small human who has an obscene amount of energy and a blissful
ability to ignore swear words, and wife to a man whose reading habits
are way too serious. Katy and her family reside in Washington, D.C.,
a city she where never intended to live and loves so much she’d be
happy to talk about it for hours. Just ask.
Katy
writes contemporary romances with heroines who aren’t afraid to be
kickass, heroes brave enough to love them, and stories that get a
little messy before they end happily ever after.
