Certainty is one of those elusive things that probably didn’t exist outside of fiction – or at least that’s what Price had been telling himself ever since he got into his car. Though it was time to own up to the way he’d left things, it would be nice to have some idea as to the way Skylar would react when she opened the door to find him standing there. If nothing else, Price hoped she would listen to him when he warned her about Eric. [Read more...]
Foresight is Flawless – Chapter 83
As soon as I heard the door click shut, I pulled away from Skylar and peered around the curtain. The coast was clear. Based on the ragged breathing at my back, I had some explaining to do.
I turned to face her. “Sorry about that. I thought I saw someone outside.” [Read more...]

Price’s call to Skylar had been futile. Actually, he’d tried to reach her several times over the course of the day to no avail. At first, he’d just thought she wasn’t picking up because he’d blocked the caller ID. He’d then tried to call her from his land line. When he still didn’t get a response, he found the cell phone he used when he was with her, charged it briefly and tried again.
Voicemail each and every time. [Read more...]
LWLU – Impaired Judgment
“I never knew the back seat was the warmest part of the car,” Sara mused once Sucre had closed the door behind them, blocking out the night’s howling winds.
He grinned at her. “I know all sorts of things most people don’t.” After a beat, “So, you and Kellerman?” [Read more...]

Skylar couldn’t stop thinking about the cell phone that was still sitting on her coffee table. Even after hours on the road her mind kept wondering who called. It hadn’t been Price; logically she knew that was true. In her heart, she hoped she was wrong.
At least Caldwell hadn’t made things worse by keeping up the pretense of a conversation with her. [Read more...]
LWLU – Rebound Guy
Sara hated parties where she made a total ass of herself. Without fail, something always happened to make her regret going the next day. She should really just stop going to parties.
And as parties wore on, it always got worse. [Read more...]
Foresight is Flawless – Chapter 80
Eric completed his survey of the property and returned to his car. It was perfect. Though the complete details of his plan were still sketchy, he knew this would be the perfect setting for the final moments of his brother’s life. It would be tricky to get Skylar out here, but it would be so worth it. That moment when the simple truth of what was going on was realized and reached her eyes would make all of his time in hiding worth the wait. [Read more...]
Foresight is Flawless – Chapter 79
I was in a foul mood by the time I got to Skylar’s townhouse. Jenna said she couldn’t marry me. Did that also mean it was over between us? Would I be coming home to find the locks changed and all my stuff in the lawn? This just couldn’t be the way things ended for us. I’d just have to hurry and wrap up my case so I could get back to Jenna and attempt to make her understand how much I needed her in my life.
Unfortunately, Skylar looked like she’d just gotten out of bed. [Read more...]
Foresight is Flawless – Chapter 78
Price gazed out across the lake as he walked along the shore, not noticing its beauty. That was something he did quite a bit these days. In the time he’d spent at his lake home, he’d walked this path practically every day. Each day he told himself he had a good life and he should be enjoying it. Though he was arguably the most eligible bachelor in town he still spent all of his evenings alone.
Thinking of Skylar. [Read more...]

Monday, July 5
Despite the fact we’d stayed up well into the night, I was still up at sunrise. Nerves. It had to be. After everything that had gone on the night before, I really should have been in bed until at least noon – probably sleeping. But sleep was out of the question. Today was a new day and I had things to do.
Unfortunately, I still hadn’t told Jenna about any of it. [Read more...]

Jackson gave her a blank stare. Jenna realized how he must have taken what she’d said and quickly added, “I mean eventually, not yet.”
He blinked a few times. “I don’t understand, honey.” [Read more...]

Sunday, July 4
My plan fell apart before it even got started. Everything had been in place. The restaurant confirmed my reservation, the ring was in my suit jacket in the car and I’d gone over what I was going to say to Jenna at least a thousand times since that morning. Every single angle was covered.
Except for Jenna getting out of the shower and telling me she didn’t feel like going out to eat. [Read more...]
Foresight is Flawless – Chapter 74
Skylar hated the Fourth of July and she especially hated the fact she had to wait until afterwards to start making some progress in her life. She knew it was wrong to be angry at Caldwell for wanting to spend the holiday with his family; she just didn’t care. Not everyone cried at the mere thought of fireworks, she reminded herself time and again.
It never helped. [Read more...]

Saturday, July 3
I had a plan. For the first time since deciding I wanted to marry Jenna, I actually had some idea how I was going to ask her. No more worrying about what to say. It was perfect in every way.
But it would be a miracle if I didn’t fuck things up before I put my plan into action. [Read more...]
LWLU – The Baby
“Let me make sure I understand what’s going on,” Jane began, clearly confused. “You dated back in high school, he cheated on you and now you’re talking about marrying him?”
Sara sighed. Of course it would look that way to someone on the outside of things. “There’s a little more to it than that.” [Read more...]
