Maybe I Lied

by K.C. Ale

I had my heart truly broken for the first time a year ago. The one person that held me in the black aftermath – that held the broken pieces of my life and patiently helped me mend them back together – was my platonic boyfriend Jake.

Now Jake wants more. He wants everything I have to give, and that’s just to start. His formidable, tyrannical father is demanding for his heir to have an heir, and Jake’s biological clock is ticking so loud I nearly ducked.

Wedding bells and baby giggles are already behind on Jake’s demanding schedule. Only he believes love is a concept, and the last thing I want is to fall for a man who doesn’t love me like I do him. He accuses me of being fueled by emotions, but logic has never applied to us. Between his dictatorial father and my overprotective, meddling family, both our strengths will be severely tested. I’m the treasure in his life, but do I really know the extremes my platonic boyfriend is capable of?

About the author

K.C. Ale lost the ferocious battle with sanity and began happily making up lovesick people in her mind. In her quick defense, these were people worth knowing. An avid reader of contemporary romance, some thrillers, food package labels, lawn signs, and that annoying banner at the bottom of the TV screen, she decided to introduce the starry-eyed characters through writing. She acquired the nickname “Dr. K.C.” during her teens when she wouldn’t shut-up with her relationship advises, and a decade later, the people-writing and unsolicited relationship-nurturing began marrying with romance.

Based in Los Angeles and raised PG (Pre-Google), K.C. is a caffeine-free survivor who’s known to space out without warning while a scene madly percolates in her head, especially when alt rock is blaring in her ears. She has a Dude Crew that she casually consults with on the peculiarities of the male psyche… another reason why she lost that battle with sanity.
