Ryker

My life is perfect.
I have it all—the woman of my fantasies and my shot at the championship.
It’s all right in front of me. In my grips. I can see it, taste it, feel it.
No chance in hell I’ll lose.
Until I fall at the mercy of another man’s hands.
I’m torn apart and forced to make difficult decisions while staring malicious hatred in the eyes.
Doors open and others close—ones I’m not ready to see go.
My course changes. My dreams begin evading me.
You think I fought hard to get where I’m at now?
You haven’t seen the depth of my perseverance yet.
This isn’t the end of me.
I AM NOT DONE.

Whitney

He has everything in his hands—his career, me, our future.
One costly mistake, a defiant decision, and everything vanishes.
As he holds my hand through the darkness, he loses it all.
I watch with anguish as he struggles to put the torn pieces back together.
It’s not as easy as he had hoped.
But his strength proves powerful. His determination unbreakable.
Together we’ll conquer.
Together we don’t accept defeat.
WE ARE NOT DONE.

Excerpt (Everyone loves Ryker and his niece, Gracie)

Whitney twists in her seat. “You should stay away from boys who are vindictive like that. They’re bad.”

“You need to stay away from all boys,” I grumble.

“I don’t like Tyler. I have a boyfriend. His name is Brandon.”

My eyes bulge. “Do what? Does your father know? How long have you been boyfriend and girlfriend? Has he tried to kiss you?” The questions spill from my mouth.

“Daddy knows, Unk.”

I eye her, testing to see if she’s lying, but she pays me no attention. “Pooh. I don’t like this.”

She drops her head back on the seat. “Daddy doesn’t either. But Momma says I’m growing up.” She looks to me in the mirror. “I’m growing up, Unk.”

“I refuse to think it. You’re nine. No boyfriends. Where does this Brandon live? I think me and your father need to pay him a visit. Maybe Uncle Kyce too.”

“Daddy’s met him,” she says.

I sigh and stew quietly. She’s a little girl and boys do boy things. I’m a boy. I know what we do. Granted I wasn’t thinking of sex at nine, but rumor is kids nowadays learn shit early.

“Pooh…” I inhale. “Just promise me if he tries to kiss you, you’ll punch him in the nose.”
