The choice was clear.
Wasn’t it…?
Zach and his family made
it impossible for Tatum to be his girlfriend. Nigel made it oh-so-easy for Tate
to move on. But the shock of seeing Zach again, of finally meeting his mobster
family, and even coming face to face with his fiancé, convinced Tatum more than
ever that Nigel was the one for her.
Tatum knows Zach still
dreams of one day sharing his life with her, but Nigel offers her his life now
– no dreaming necessary. And while Zach spends a month entertaining the fiancé
that has been forced upon him by his family, why shouldn’t Tatum take her
relationship with Nigel to the next level?
When Nigel betrays Tatum
her heart is broken. What once was clear becomes dark. She finds herself by
Zach’s side yet again, needing him in a way she never imagined.
Zach or Nigel?
The decision isn’t easy
because Tatum has learned the hard way—
Choices last a moment.
Consequences last a lifetime.
Excerpt
:
We got out of the car and walked up
to the house. Di was more than a friend to me, she was a sister. She understood
me and supported like only a sister could. I loved her very much.
We walked into the front door. The
moment the door closed behind Di, my mom yelled, “Tatum, come here. Right now.”
I turned back to Di and whispered,
“And so it begins.”
Di stood frozen with bulging eyes. I
whipped around and a hand smacked me across the face. I went flying into the
coffee table.
“Oh my god, Tate.” Di dropped to the
floor behind me.
I took my hand to my forehead and rubbed
the dent where my head had collided with the table, then examined my fingertips
for blood. They were clear.
“What the hell is this?” my mom
yelled.
I turned back to her and she flashed
the pee stick. How did she get that? I put that in my nightstand. Ugh, my cheek
burned.
“Cindy, what the hell is going on?”
Dad came running up from the basement. “What fell?”
Toni stood in the hallway crying.
“Daddy, Mommy knocked Tatey down. Hewp her.”
Di grabbed under my armpits and
pulled me upright.
My mom became Mr. Hyde. Her pupils
were tiny and her eyebrows arched. “I found this pregnancy test in the bathroom
trash. You’re pregnant?”
Dad turned the corner into the
living room and noticed Di helping me to my feet and ran over to grab me. “What
the hell, Cindy. Did you knock her down?”
My mom shoved the pregnancy stick in
his face.
He took it. “Tate, is this yours?”
He looked at me, his faced drained of blood.
“Dad, please listen. It is—” I sat
down on the couch. My head hurt.
Dad shot a dirty look at my mom. “We
can be pissed, but don’t you lay a hand on my daughter again.”
Di hid in the front corner by the
door, whispering on her mobile. I couldn’t hear who she was talking to.
Poor Toni sat in the doorway crying.
“Tone, come here. I’m okay,” I waved
for her to come to me.
She ran and sat next to me. I patted
her back. Gizmo barked in the backyard and then ran through the doggie door
flap. He joined Toni.
