Book Description:

Addison Caldwell has her future laid out before her. She has good friends, applications in the mail for PA school, and sweaty yoga to take the edge off of her lack of love life. Just when she finds herself right where she wants to be, Addison stumbles on a familiar stranger standing before her at a coffee shop. He’s beautiful and brilliant. She’s immediately drawn to him and can’t put her finger on how she could possibly have met him before. She finds herself tumbling head first toward a man that she knows is in a league composed solely of him and a bevy of Victoria Secret Supermodels.



Book Excerpt:




“Holden, I’m leaving…” She heard herself say before her heart could stop her brain from uttering the words. The words that she knew would bring the end.
I got into PA school in North Carolina,” she paused hearing her voice break. Addison, do not cry.
She couldn’t bring herself to look at him, knowing his gaze was still directed out of the front window. He spoke a few moments later, but if felt like eternity as she waited for his reaction.
“Wow,” he paused for a beat, “I’m so proud of you, Clementine,” he looked at her with a giant smile spread across his face. It was his eyes that Addison noticed though; the fact that the spark of his smile didn’t quite reach them.
“I knew you would get in, you’ll make a wonderful PA,” he spoke genuinely.
“I leave tomorrow Holden,” she spoke lifelessly, biting her lower lip to keep the tears from falling. There’s no reason to cry, she told herself, we aren’t even dating, we’re friends.
His dark eyes turned toward her quickly. “I’m sorry, what did you just say? You’re kidding right?” He spoke harshly, furrowing his eyebrows in confusion.
“The program starts after the holidays. I’m going to Houston to be with my family tomorrow and then I leave before the New Year,” she spoke, hearing how calm her words came out, as if her heart had already resigned to the fact that she and Holden were a distant hope, nothing more.
He didn’t speak for a few minutes and Addison pushed her door open, feeling alone and helpless. There’s nothing I can do.
“I don’t work tomorrow; I have some packing and stuff to get done before I leave so maybe we can get lunch or something.”
“I work all day tomorrow,” he answered, his tone distant and cold. Ouch.
She nodded and stepped out of the car closing the door behind her. She continued to bite down on her lip, hoping to make it inside of her apartment before the tears came. She wasn’t sure how she had expected him to react, but that definitely wasn’t it. She took slow, calculated breaths as she climbed her stairs. She knew she’d just said goodbye to her hopeless dream and it hadn’t quite sunk in yet.

 She'd turned the key in the lock when she heard the footsteps behind her. His scent enveloped her senses before she'd even turned to make sure it was him. It was a sensual mix of sweat and body-wash, and she loved it. Wait, what? He stopped directly behind her, placing one hand tenderly on her shoulder as he pushed her door open with the other one.
