About EVERMORE:
From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Corinne Michaels comes a new story in her Salvation series…
I was poised to become partner at my law firm even before I became secretly engaged to my boss. After being humiliated by him on my wedding day, I can’t face working for him any longer. So I quit, waving my middle finger on my way out.
Now the only things I’m poised for are unemployment and loneliness.
When an opportunity with Cole Security arises, it seems like the perfect way to run, all the way to Virginia Beach. I wasn’t expecting my childhood sweetheart to be there. I definitely wasn’t prepared that when we saw each other again, Benjamin Pryce would be so grown-up. So gorgeous. So Navy SEAL-ish.
And still the same guy who broke my heart when I was fifteen–and could do it again.
They say if you’re fooled once, shame on them. The second time, it’s on you. The third time, it’s going to be me that runs… unless he can convince me to stay forevermore.

Excerpt:
“Didn’t the dipshit you were going
to marry make you laugh?”
“Harold? No. Not even a little.”
His eyes harden a bit and then
sadness fills them. “So you didn’t laugh, didn’t say you were happy, what else
didn’t you do?”
The question stuns me. He looks at
me, his eyes probing for answers that I’m not willing to give him. The truth
is, we didn’t do anything. I was his dirty little secret. I lived under a cloud
of lies and broken promises. He told me he loved me. He told me that all of it
was necessary and I was so stupidly tied to that damn life list that I wouldn’t
relinquish.
Tears fill my vision, blurring Ben,
who continues to stare down at me. “Gretchen?”
“Everything.”
“Everything?”
“I did nothing. We didn’t date or
laugh. There were no nights of him picking me up. In fact, I’ve never even been
on a date. I didn’t have time for that in college and then Harold was the first
guy I really dated.” I say the last word in air quotes. “Which is a far stretch
because it was meeting in secret, pretending we felt nothing, and sneaking
around. I was the shadow in the dark that needed to stay hidden. He never met
my family. He never did anything to be a part of my life until I demanded we
either get married or end things. Then, we were engaged, he promised me light
and then I was stood up on the most important date of my life. So when you ask
what I didn’t do...everything.”
The sadness that was in his gaze is
gone, now it’s replaced with anger. “You don’t deserve to ever be in the dark.
You should’ve been the one thing in the world he couldn’t wait to show off. He
should’ve picked you up, planned a night you wouldn’t forget, worried whether
he should kiss you or not.”
I hold my breath, waiting to wake
up because no one has ever said anything like that to me. It’s always been that
this was how it was. I should be grateful that he was taking a risk on his
career for me. God, I was so stupid.
But Ben looks at me like
I’m...special.
His eyes move to my lips, keeping
his gaze there. Is he going to kiss me? My belly fills with butterflies as I
now feel what he described before. Then he lifts his hand to graze my cheek.
He’s going to kiss me. He could
right now and I don’t know that I’d stop him.
“Ben.” I say his name, unsure of
what I want him to do.
The sound of my voice breaks the
trance we were both under. He leans back with a quick shake of his head.
I feel the loss of his touch in my
heart. I need a freaking therapist.
It was my wedding day a few days
ago and now I’m thinking about and wanting another man to kiss me? I feel no
sadness, no guilt. If anything, I feel like I want to crush my lips to his and
have my way with him. There’s something wrong with me.
