🖤Synopsis:
Be careful what you wish for.
You love her. But she loves him. You just can’t win. It’s as if the lyrics to the ‘80s rock hit were written just for me. I’ve been in love with one of my best friends for over a decade, but I’m stuck in a loveless marriage, and she’s happily in love with her high school sweetheart. Something needs to happen to shake things up around here. Something big. Something that forces our lives to change. But I never expected the horrible tragedy that turned our world upside down nor the secrets that were revealed in its aftermath.
This story follows a group of lifelong friends as they navigate life’s pitfalls and support one another as they fight for love and endure the unthinkable.
🖤Excerpt:
Exasperated, Russell looked down at the floor and wanted to cry. Just cry and let out the years of pent-up frustration and never-ending pain in his heart because it was too much to bear. “I’m so fucking tired of not being able to say how I feel. Pretending I’m happy when I’m really miserable.” He slowly met Ryan’s eyes, clutched his chest and scrunched up his face from the internal pain that had a hold on him. “Did you ever want something so bad that your heart aches? Real physical pain for something that you know you can’t have? Something you’ll probably never have? And it just devours you.” He took a long drink of his Jack Daniels and leaned back on the couch, trying to read the invisible writing on the ceiling. “I married the wrong person.”
🖤Character Descriptions:
🖤Russell – The sensitive guy. Sometimes broody. Always romantic. He’s been secretly in love with Layla for a decade but cares more about her happiness than his own. He’d rather suffer and love her from afar than ruin her relationship with her longtime boyfriend.
🖤Layla – The sweet and funny girl. Computer nerd. A daydreamer. She’s happy living life with her high school sweetheart but yearns for something more, like marriage and a family.
🖤Xander – The carefree playboy. Charismatic and soft-hearted. He’s a famous fashion photographer who’s surrounded by beautiful ladies on a daily basis, and he wouldn’t have it any other way.
🖤Ryan – The nice guy. Thoughtful, charming, and good-natured. He appears to have it all, but hidden secrets plague him every day.
🖤 Suzanne and Dan – The old married couple. They’re the heart of their group of friends. Suzanne, bold, take-charge, and outspoken, is the glue that holds them all together. Dan, blunt and curt, tells it like it is. He’s the loveable a-hole.
🖤Arianna – The model. Independent and hard working. She just wants to make a name for herself as a fashion model and overcome the constant pressures placed on her every day. She shows up much later in the book, but she’s a pivotal character!
