Sometimes the one who broke your heart is the one who needs saving the most.
Piper Sandervale never thought she’d ever see Sasha Koval again, not since he'd taken her heart, ripped it out and obliterated it. Now six years have passed, and she has run into him once more at the local fairgrounds in Las Vegas. He desperately wants another chance, and he’s willing to do anything to get her back. She’s not willing to give him anything but a taste of his own medicine, and this may be her chance for payback. But is she only getting in way over her head?
Even as she plots her revenge, Piper discovers that something has changed with Sasha, and she finds herself struggling to justify holding on to past hurts as he continues his quest for atonement.
Who needs saving now?Excerpt
“I have tickets for a comedy show.
How about it?” He reached out, gripping my hand again. Glancing
down at his fingers as they laced through mine, a soft flutter in my
chest made me forget to breathe momentarily. He still had it, his
paralyzing charm, I mean.
“Um, yeah. Sounds great.” I forced
a smile as I sucked in a breath. I hoped and prayed I wasn’t making
a mistake. I had to remember to be the first to run this time.
Yep, I’ll reel him in and then run
out the door so fast, he won’t even know what hit him.
So my plan to break his heart was in
motion as he softly tugged at my hand, pulling me towards the front
doors of the Bellagio. Making it to the sidewalk, he led me to the
Taxi line and hailed one. I was curious where he was taking me to,
but my mouth was dry as a desert, which tasted of lemon cherry
sorbet. My self-doubt was already creeping into my mind before I’d
even had a chance to douse it.
“You alright?”
His voice pulled me back to the present
as we slipped into the back of the Taxi cab. He scooted in after me
and instructed to the cabbie our destination. Hugging my arms in the
cold of the AC blasting from the vents, Sasha slipped his arm around
my shoulders and pulled me closer. Frozen, I wasn’t sure what to
do. Relax, relax, I kept telling myself. The entire plan would be
ruined if I didn’t loosen up. He might even see through my ruse if
I wasn’t careful.
That wasn’t something I could afford
to let happen.
