New Leaf

New Leaf

<b>I thought he was out of my life for good. </b><br /><br />I always hoped I'd run into Jackson again. I didn't think it was ever going to happen, but I always hoped. So the day I found his lost kitten felt like fate. I didn't even know he was in town, and now I was going to be seeing him again so that I could return his adorable cat.<br /><br />But it's been years since we last spoke and things didn't exactly end well. I used to be in love with him, and I still have so many feelings, but can I forgive him? He's been wonderful to me in the past but he also hurt me deeply. I can't deny, though, that the bond between us is still strong. At least, it is for me. I can't be sure how he feels. Especially considering how he left...<br /><br /><b>I was such a fool to ever let him go.</b><br /><br />I haven't been the best person, I will fully admit to that. I've made a lot of mistakes in my life, but leaving Grant behind was by far the biggest. He was my best friend, I've never been closer to anyone else. <br /><br />And that's the scary part for me. My biggest fear about returning to my hometown to help out my family was that I'd run into him again. I don't want to get close to him again because it might mean losing him. And I already feel crushed from losing him the first time. <br /><br /><b>This standalone 30,000 word novella comes complete with HEA ending and bonus material from two of my other books!</b>
