EXCERPT
I jumped, shutting my computer, and
glanced up at Graham paused at the threshold to my room, loosening his red tie.
He always looked handsome in a suit and that red tie I gave him for his
birthday. I didn’t expect to see him. My assistant said he was at the
Governor’s Mansion. I rarely stayed there, but he used it as an occasional
“getaway.” Probably from me. So when she told me he was there, I made the
assumption (actually hoped) he’d decided to stay the night and get some work
done.
“It’s not even seven.” I tucked my
bare feet beneath me, still wearing my navy skirt suit and silk scarf—my long
hair in loose curls down my back and around my shoulders just like Graham liked
it.
He took calculated steps toward me,
completely untying his tie, letting it drop to the floor before working the
buttons to his starchy white shirt. I tried to forget my internet search, not
that it mattered because I couldn’t hide anything from my husband. He elicited
a warring of emotions from me. An icy tingle slithered along my spine, making
every muscle rigid, while the warmth in my heart fed on the way my pulse
reacted to his proximity, the way it always had done. That never changed. It
was how I knew we weren’t broken.
“Did you miss me?” He smirked,
shrugging off his shirt, revealing his defined torso—abs for days beneath a
thin smattering of dark hair on his chest.
I was the envy of so many women.
Every day I reminded myself of that.
“Nice scarf.” He knelt in front of
the chair.
I returned a nervous smile, hoping
the man before me was the man I loved. Graham untied the scarf, sliding it from
my neck as slowly as he’d slid off his tie just seconds earlier. The scarf
floated to the floor. Gentle fingers swept my hair off my shoulders, exposing
my neck.
With the same feather’s touch, he
traced the bruises. “It’s nothing …” His lips replaced his fingers, kissing my
neck. “You’re fine. Right?”
I wanted to believe him. Could denial
become truth if we just believed hard enough?
“I’m fine,” I murmured, closing my
eyes.
“Want me to show you how much I
missed you?” he whispered next to my ear.
Was he asking me for permission?
Governor Graham demanded me. Pre-marriage, pre-Governor Graham asked … begged
me to surrender to him.
REVIEW:
"We don't have to be perfect to be forever."
This final book in this duet pulled out MANY emotions within in and went in a direction that I did NOT expect. I was put through the ringer with my feelings! I typically don't read thrillers, so I had no frame of reference to feed off of when it came to predicting what could come of these four characters. BUT I do have a frame of reference when it comes to Jewel and with that knowledge, I knew I needed to expect the unexpected. So that was exactly what I did while reading.
There was jaw dropping, heart shattering, steamy, suspenseful, and mind blowing moments scattered throughout this book. Much more so than book one. This book was where everything blew up and was the catalyst to the story. Four friends, two lovers, one unimaginable tragedy. This was a story about lifelong friendships, unbreakable bonds and a love that isn't perfect, but is forever. This story is full of truths and lies and sometimes the truths are more painful than the lies. Sometimes hiding the truth from your loved ones can protect them. No one is innocent in this book. Everyone keeps things from their loved ones. Sometimes we loved with lies and protected with sins. Ultimately, these lies snowball and create a storm that these four can't manage without someone (or all of them) will break.
This duet proved to me yet again why Jewel is an instant one click author for me. Jewel excels at pulling me in and consuming my world with her stories (even when I'm on a vacation in Jamaica LOL). I highly recommend going on this journey. I know that this duet won't be for everyone (trigger warning), it's not easy to stomach some of the things that occur, but Jewel writes this story brilliantly and the creativity in which she does so, is genius. Pick up this duet today!
"You're my favorite."
"Your favorite what?"
"Everything."

About Jewel
Jewel is a free-spirited romance junkie with a quirky sense of humor.
With 10 years of flossing lectures under her belt, she took early retirement from her dental hygiene career to stay home with her three awesome boys and manage the family business.
After her best friend of nearly 30 years suggested a few books from the Contemporary Romance genre, Jewel was hooked. Devouring two and three books a week but still craving more, she decided to practice sustainable reading, AKA writing.
When she’s not donning her cape and saving the planet one tree at a time, she enjoys yoga with friends, good food with family, rock climbing with her kids, watching How I Met Your Mother reruns, and of course…heart-wrenching, tear-jerking, panty-scorching novels.
