Excerpt

Struck dumb by a fear more terrifying than any imprisoning nightmare, Mason watched as Kirstin disappeared out the door. He was losing her. Really, truly losing Kirstin. And God help him, he didn’t know how to stop this out of control roller coaster.

Didn’t know if he could.

Or even should.

They were so mixed up and at odds. So removed from the closeness they’d shared for the five most important years of his life. Maybe she was right – love wasn’t enough anymore.

No. He couldn’t allow himself to believe that. He needed her too much to let her go without a fight.

Raking a hand through his hair, he found the ability to move and sagged into the recliner. He’d made things worse by telling her about Lisa. But while he might be clueless now and then, he wasn’t a complete Neanderthal. He heard loud and clear what she’d said, and Kirstin needed words from him.

It made sense now – the expectations, her claims she’d been alone. Logically, he didn’t necessarily agree. She could have asked him to come to bed with her if it bothered her so much. But logic and reason aside, her former innate ability to understand him had morphed into a hunger for affirmation. Reassurance his good intentions failed to deliver.

She believed him incapable. In many ways, she was right. He simply didn’t know how to tell her what resided in his heart. Showing through his actions had always been easier. But that approach wouldn’t cut it now.

If he intended to save the best five years of his life from imminent disaster, he had to step up and meet her halfway. And he’d better figure out how, damn quick. Before Steve Whitmore could seduce her with promises of career success. If that happened, she’d yank the project, and the only safety-net Mason could cling to would slip right through his fingers.
