The One Who Got Away

Gus Murdock: The Loyal
She was my best friend. She was also way too good for me.

Eloise Cross was valedictorian, voted most likely to succeed, and had all the plans to get out of Indigo Valley.
I wasn’t going to be the guy to hold her back.
I was her cheerleader and her safe friend. Before I said something stupid like: DON’T GO.
I was the one who left.
I lost myself in foreign lands and learned everything there was to help build houses and structures. I worked my a$$ off to give other people a place to call home.
Until that one night on a beach in Costa Rica.
I thought a bottle of rum would numb all the pain. Because it was her birthday and I was missing her.
And the riptide almost killed me.
Now I have a second chance at life and I’m going after her. No matter where I have to go to find her.
Only to find out she was the one who never left.
Now it was time to show her that I’ve always been the man for her. And I’ll never leave again.

Falling for his best friend was the easiest thing Gus ever did, but making Eloise believe it would be the real work. Indigo Valley is full of hope and new starts. The Murdock Brothers fall hard and fast, but a scorching HOT happily ever after is guaranteed.

These are quick stories served best with a glass of wine or a cup of tea before bed. Or if you’re feeling extra spicy, you can read one of these books on your lunch break!
