Prologue
Dear Diary,
My friends and family have started calling me Elle. I was given my name Noelle, as I was born on December 22nd.
Being the daughter of a rockstar was sometimes tough. Especially when it was used against me in college. I thought he loved me but it was all a game to him, to get what he wanted. He broke my heart and my bank account. I vowed from that moment on that I’d never date anyone that didn’t have fame or money. Then I wouldn’t get used again.
I’d find my one true love, one day…

Author Bio
An English teacher, an author, and a fan of anything pink and/or glittery, Lindsay's the English teacher cliché; she loves cats, reading, Shakespeare, and Poe.
She currently lives in her hometown with her husband, Chad (her junior high sweetheart); their cats, Arya, Amelia, Alice, Marjorie, and Bob; and their mastiff, Henry. Lindsay's goal with her writing is to show the power of love and the beauty of life while also instilling a true sense of realism in her work. Some reviewers have noted that her books are not the âtypical romance.â With her novels coming from a place of honesty, Lindsay examines the difficult questions, looks at the tough emotions, and paints the pictures that are sometimes difficult to look at. She wants her fiction to resonate with readers as realistic, poetic, and powerful. Lindsay wants women readers to be able to say, âI see myself in that novel.â She wants to speak to the modern womanâs experience while also bringing a twist of something new and exciting. Her aim is for readers to say, âThat could happen,â or âI feel like the characters are real.â Thatâs how she knows she's done her job. Lindsay's hope is that by becoming a published author, she can inspire some of her students and other aspiring writers to pursue their own passions. She wants them to see that any dream can be attained and publishing a novel isnât out of the realm of possibility.

Blurb
Heâd protect her from any threatâ¦
But what if the biggest threat is him?
Doctor Anne Nichols is back in Oak Creek, Wyoming, only because she has no other options. Here, she was always the shy, stuttering girl, invisible to everyone.
Except Zac Mackay. The very reason she left in the first place.
Zacâs years in Special Forces taught him survival skills, and heâs created a companyâLinear Tacticalâto teach those skills to others, so they never have to live in fear.
Then why is Annie, the last person heâd ever want to hurt, afraid of him?
Zacâs determined to wipe the fear from the eyes of the woman who has never been far from his mind. And fix the mistakesâhis mistakesâthat put that look there in the first place.
But a predator has set his sights on Annie. And now survival skills will become much more than lessonsâ¦

Excerpt
âI was here a couple of years ago, but only for a day or two,â Anne told Zac, looking away. She had booked a room out of Oak Creek both times sheâd dared come back. The thought of staying at The Mayorâs Inn had been too painful. She couldnât even look at that hotel without feeling sick to her stomach.
And sheâd avoided everyoneâparticularly Zacâas much as possible. Just in case his words about not coming back were still true. She tried to swallow the panic that threatened to overwhelm her. Maybe he still felt that way now, even though he hadnât said anything at the hospital.
âThere.â He pointed at her. âThat look that just came into your eyes. I saw it at the hospital. Itâs like youâre afraid of me, Annie.â He took a step closer and she instinctively one back. One of his eyebrows shot up, letting her know sheâd proved his point. âDo you think Iâm going to hurt you?â
âNo.â Not physically. Sheâd never worried that heâd hurt her that way, despite having five inches and probably fifty poundsâall muscleâon her.
But he was right. She couldnât continue living in Oak Creek with them ignoring everything that had happened that night. What had been said. What had been done. Maybe she wouldâve tried to, and to avoid Zac forever, if he hadnât ended up in her ER.
But the truth was, there werenât enough bushes in this town for her to jump into. She was going to run into Zac. A lot.
Sometimes all you could do was face the past.
She pulled a breath in. âIâm not scared of you. I mean, I know you would never hurt me physically. For crying out loud, you wrecked your motorcycle rather than hit a dog.â Sheâd meant for her laugh to seem breezy, but it just sounded stilted. âBut yeah, I mean, we canât pretend like that night never happened. The stuff we did. Stuff you...we said.â
His eyes narrowed. âThat night we spent together after Becky died.â
âYeah. That night.â As if theyâd had another. âThe bottom line is, I canât leave here, Zac. No matter what you said then, or even if you feel the same way now.â
He shook his head, brows furrowing. âI donât expect you to leave. Youâre obviously a respected doctor, more than competent. Why would you think I wanted you to leave?â
Some of the tension sheâd been carrying since his arrival in the ER began to ease. He was right. Something said in grief and anger six years ago didnât necessarily hold true all this time later. She was silly for thinking it did. âOkay, well, itâs good to know you donât feel the same as you did back then.â
He took a single predatory step closer, and she tensed again. âI said something that night to make you think you needed to leave?â
She stared at him, her mouth flopping open like some sort of fish. âYou donât remember what you said?â
Those words would be engrained in her memory forever.
Get out and donât come back.
He rubbed his forehead. âThat whole night is fuzzy for me.â
I canât even bear to look at you. You just betrayed the only person in this town who ever wanted you here.
Tossing her naked into the hallway before flinging her clothes at her.
âWhat do you remember?â She forced the words past a throat that seemed to have dried up.
His hand moved to the back of his neck. âHonestly, not much at all. Itâs sort of a blur.â
She retreated a step from him again. That night had been the most important night of her life. The best. The worst. It had changed the very fabric of her being.
And it was sort of a blur for him.

Excerpt
âWhy are you being like this?â I ask softly.
His voice is even more flat when he says, âNot sure what you mean. This is me.â
âYouâre acting so detached and strange. This isnât like you.â
âWell, you donât know me anymore.â
That response brings fury and betrayal roaring to the surface again. âAnd whose fault is that, Zeke?â I grab a nearby mug with the intention of throwing it at his head. Heâs giving me worse mood swings than Aunt Flo.
âWe both know the answer. Letâs not play guessing games.â
âYouâre ridiculous. I donât understand you at all,â I say.
âA lot happens in five years. Youâre not the only one whoâs changed.â He gestures around the store.
âWhat is that supposed to mean? Are you upset about my career choice?â
âNah, that isnât it.â
âWhat then? Letâs stop dancing around. You came here for a reason,â I point out.
A flush races up his neck, painting the stubbled skin an angry red. âAll of this is proof you never needed me. Not like I fucking depend on you.â

Pregnant with her sisterâs baby, her love-life isnât even on the radar.
Just when Alexa Walker has given up on finding her happy-ever-after to focus on her career as the Bad Girl of Sweets, in walks Dylan James, steaming cup of coffee in his outstretched hand. Alex has never been the nice sister.
Sheâs the snarky one. The skeptic. Unapproachable.

Upper crust, old Boston money, and part of the infamous Boston Billionaires Club, Dylan doesnât have a lot of free time and he definitely doesnât have time to hang around a coffee shop thatâs not even in his neighborhood, waiting for the Bad Girl of Sweets to deliver her weekly confections. He doesnât have time until he sees her and knows he needs to make the time. Sheâs fiery and fierce, witty and bright, and that was only their first introduction. Suddenly, chocolate croissants arenât all Dylanâs craving.
Dylan isnât exactly sure what heâs getting into with Lexi Walker, his Bad Girl of Sweets, but he knows heâll take her any way he can get her. Pregnant with someone elseâs baby or not.

Excerpt
âBetter get this in while you can. In a few months, Iâll be like a keg with legs.â
Lexi was not a big woman to begin with. Not much more than five feet tall, he wasnât sure how sheâd carry a baby without looking like a keg with legs.
He liked her enough that he wanted to be around to see it.
âWhen it comes time, Iâll just roll you down the hall,â he joked.
She nipped his jaw, catching a bit of flesh, making him hiss. âWomen donât like jokes about their weight.â
âYou did.â
âThatâs different.â
Noted, he thought dryly.
âMy apologies,â he offered. âBut the fact remains. Iâll take you any way I can get you, Lex. Pregnant, not pregnant, doesnât matter. I just want you.â He settled her on the bed, laying her down and working on the buckle of her heels. âIâll still want to slide these shoes off your feet.â He dropped one to the floor and then the other. âIâll still want to peel these pants, that do amazing things for your ass, by the way, off to see whatâs underneath.â He did just that, revealing her short, toned legs, and discarded them with her shoes. âIâll still want to take this off,â he whispered, tugging her sweater until she let him pull it over her head, âand spread your hair out behind you on the bed.â
God, when he looked down at her, all spread out like that, he knew he was a goner. She was smiling up at him, her black hair spread out like an ink puddle underneath her head. Even her bra and panties were black, the bra having no straps, just a band across her chest.
The underwear were no more than a scrap of fabric.
âYou just going to stand there looking at me all night?â she asked, lifting her foot to run a toe across his chest.
âI could,â he admitted, his eyes glued to her stomach. There was a deep, red mark across her middle, where her pants had dug into her skin, too tight for the tiny, burgeoning baby bump she sported. It nearly took his breath away, the significance of what her body was doing. He spread his fingers across her belly, the little protrusion hard under his hand. âDonât wear those pants anymore,â he said quietly. âTheyâre hurting you.â
âFashion is pain,â she joked.
âIâm serious, Lex.â He crawled over her, placing a kiss on the soft skin of her stomach. She even smelled sweet there, like sugar and comfort. âNo more of this.â He ran his fingers along the indent and then met her eyes. âNo more.â
She wrapped a leg around him, the silky skin of her thigh against his side.
âI canât go home without pants on, Dylan,â she reasoned. âBut yeah, I wonât wear those ones anymore. Too fat for that.â
âNot fat,â he argued, his hand splayed across the bump. Too amazing, he thought.
