I’ve always prided myself on being the best...I had to win. I collected prizes and awards because I saw them as a reflection of my self-worth, and I thought nothing tasted better than victory. Then I met you. And everything else…faded. We’ve been through some dark times, but you were always the brightest part of my life. Even when we broke up... Just knowing you existed somewhere in this world was enough.

I'd never fallen in love before her. Once I did, I did it the way I did everything else. Completely. Totally. Irrevocably.

His body heat was a living, breathing thing, clouding my mind and stealing my focus until my world consisted of nothing except dark eyes, soft wool, and the clean, expensive scent of citrus and wood.

But when I climbed into bed that night and fell into a fitful sleep, my dreams had nothing to do with work and everything to do with dark hair and stolen touches.

She’d touched down in my life like a tornado, gotten my drink wrong during her first shift at Valhalla, and hadn’t left my thoughts since.
