Teaser Excerpt:
Sipping a glass of ice water
while I waited, I looked forward to seeing Chloe. We’d been co-workers and
friends for years.
When Chloe walks in, I watch as
all the men’s heads turn to stare as she approached our table. Her beauty
always drew gazes and left me feeling like a weed planted next to a stunning
flower.
After Chloe and I make a bit of
small talk and order, I ask the question I’ve been dying to ask since I ended
our phone call. “What is going on, Chloe? What can I do to help?”
“Mike’s quit his job at the
college and decided to open his own catering business and the stress of having
no money coming in is taking its toll on us. All we do is fight. I can’t stand
that I have no say in how our money is spent. Would you believe he bought a
delivery truck for his business but hasn’t even gotten the brakes fixed on my
car?”
“I’m sorry, Chloe. What does Mike
say when you talk to him about this?”
“He really doesn’t understand. He
has stars in his eyes about what the future holds and can’t see what’s
happening right in front of his face. My salary is the only thing paying the
bills. With the way Mike’s spending money, it’s going out as fast as it’s
coming in. You know, Lissa. You’re so lucky to have Alex. He’s a wonderful
provider. What I wouldn’t give to have him back in my life.”
Ouch. Chloe’s words hurt. I knew Alex was a wonderful husband, but
he was mine now. Was she really indicating she wanted him back?
“Alex is a fabulous husband,
father, and friend. I’m lucky to be his wife.”
Needing to establish my territory, I made sure to point out Alex was mine.
“Yes, he is. I’d give anything to
have him back. Just to make it clear, if you ever hurt him or let him go, I’m
going to be right there to pick up the pieces. After all, we have a child
together. We’ll always be in each other’s lives.”
“Well, Alex is very happy and
I’ll do anything to keep him that way.”
The rest of lunch passed in a
blur. I couldn’t keep my mind off her ultimatum. Maybe Chloe was just reacting
to all the problems in her own marriage by lashing out at me. I was willing to
give her the benefit of doubt. However, all I wanted to do was to escape the
original lunch from hell and get home to Alex to reassure myself of his love. For me.

Thank you for sharing my book with your readers. I'm so proud that people say that my story resonates with them, esp. if they are a part of a blended family. Family relationships can be messy, but more so when you are blending families.
Thank you again!
