Love's
Deception
by
DC Renee
Genre:
Contemporary Romance
For
someone who wasn’t the “dating kind,” he had certainly done a
bang-up job of wooing me. Dating, marriage … the whole nine yards.
I’d fallen hard. I couldn’t help it. Nolan Corrington was
gorgeous, charming, sweet, and he loved me with a passion I’d never
felt before. It was inevitable on my end.
He
tried to fight his love for me. I was the first girl he ever let in
because he’d vowed never to love. He didn’t want the fallout a
heartbreak would create. But he said dating me, marrying me, loving
me … the whole nine yards was inevitable for him too.
With
a love like that, there could be no room for heartbreak,
right?
Well,
see … that’s the thing about loving someone so hard. You don’t
always share everything about yourself, at least not until it’s too
late … until the person is so deep inside you that you hope they
won’t want to
leave. That’s what I like to call love’s deception.
And
that’s what Nolan counted on.
What
could go wrong? Oh, only everything … only the one thing he feared
in the first place … heartbreak.
Too bad it wasn’t just a matter of walking away … it was more, a
lot more.
It was life, death, and everything in between. It was love, and it
was deception.

Curiosity won. “What were you denying?”
“That I love you,” he said point-blank, his heart on his sleeve, his
words sincere, his eyes penetrating. “I love you,” he repeated, a little
louder and a little clearer.
“I-I …” I stuttered, caught completely off guard.
“I’m not telling you because I expect you to love me in return. I
just … all my life, I knew I’d never love anyone. Not because I wasn’t
capable, but because I saw what the pain of losing my mom did to
my dad. I told you before what he said to me—to never love—and I
took that to heart. I never dated, so I couldn’t get close enough to
anyone to fall in love. But you obliterated all that. You came into my
life, and it was inevitable that I was going to fall for you. I knew it was
a possibility when I pursued you, when we started dating, and I told
myself I was okay with that. But when faced with the actual feelings …
it’s hard to disassociate from a belief you’ve had all your life. I realized
I loved you, and I wasn’t even sure when it happened. But I knew that
if I lost you like my father lost my mom, I’d be shattered. So I tried
to run away while it was still fresh, thinking that it would somehow
lessen the blow. That maybe if I lost you now, it wouldn’t hurt as badly
as losing you later in life. I was wrong. I. Was. Wrong,” he repeated,
telling me without telling me the depth of his love for me.
If his actions were the hammer to my heart, his words were the
glue that could put the jagged pieces back together.

This sounds like an interesting romance.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like Nolan has some skeletons in his closet! It makes me want to read more to find out what they are.
