SYNOPSIS:
Courtney
Will always dreamed of finding her Prince Charming and living happily ever
after, like in the fairy tales she read as a child. Her dreams were shattered
one fateful night when her prince turned out to be her worst nightmare. Burying
herself in her job as an editor, Courtney tried to forget her past, and she
lost hope of ever finding true love.
Reed
Moore’s past filled his world with guilt and anger, and then a mistake in
college deepened these feelings. Fearing he will one day repeat his father’s
mistakes with the woman he loves, Reed has vowed to never give his heart to
anyone.
Reed
and Courtney have each spent years building walls to guard their hearts, so
when their feelings for one another explode into something unexpected, they
argue and throw hurtful words at each other in hopes of avoiding the truth.
Will
Reed end up being the Prince Charming Courtney has dreamed of her entire life?
Is Courtney the woman who will help Reed move past the guilt and anger, so he
can embrace love?
Can their broken dreams become their happily
ever after?
Just then, Reed came flying out the back door. “Motherfucking
son of a bitch. I’m going to kill him!” he yelled as he made his way to the
ranch truck.
I jumped up and wiped the tears away. “Whit, did Layton tell
Reed?” I asked as I saw Reed picking up the pace when he started jogging to the
ranch truck. I took off after him.
“Um…”
“Whit!”
“Okay, well, he called Reed and told him to go fire Mitch,”
Whitley said in a panicked voice.
“What? Oh my God! Okay…well, listen, sweetheart, everything
will be fine here! Enjoy your honeymoon.”
“Wait! What? You can’t just end a call like that, Courtney.”
After running and catching up, I stood in front of the ranch
truck. “Yeah, I can. I’ve got to go. Reed seems really pissed.”
I hung up the phone and ran around to the passenger side of
the truck. I jumped in, and Reed hit the gas, throwing me back into the seat.
“Jesus, Reed. Where in the hell are you going?” I asked as I
desperately tried to get the seat belt on.
I glanced at Reed while he was mumbling something about
killing Mitch for hurting me.
“Uh…Reed, can you put on your seat belt?” I asked.
He snapped his head over to me. “What?” He shook his head and
pushed down on the gas.
I sat back and closed my eyes. Shit, shit, shit! I shouldn’t have said anything. How stupid of me to
think that Layton wouldn’t tell Reed.
Layton had been looking for an excuse to get rid of Mitch
ever since he found out that Mitch had been in contact with Layton’s father all
those years and never told him.
By the time we pulled up to Mitch’s place, my heart was
beating a mile a minute. There was a Nissan parked next to Mitch’s truck.
That must be her car.
“Fucking son of a bitch,” Reed said.
I grabbed his arm. “Reed, please don’t do this.”
He turned to look at me, and his eyes were filled with
tears. I sucked in a breath of air and let go of his arm.
“He hurt you, Courtney. I really wish you had told me last
night. Now, stay in the truck, Court.”
He jumped out and took off. Before he made it onto the porch,
Mitch came out.
“Oh shit,” I whispered.
Mitch smiled at Reed and then looked at me in the truck. “You
get what you wished for last night?” Mitch asked.
Wait, what in the hell
does he mean by that?
“You motherfucker,” Reed said as he walked up to Mitch and
punched the hell out of him.
I screamed and jumped out of the truck. By the time I made
it to the porch, Reed was on top of Mitch, beating the shit out of him. Karen
came running out, yelling for Reed to stop. She came to a halt when she saw me.
She put her hand up to her mouth and then looked back at Reed on top of Mitch.
I couldn’t move. A part of me wanted Reed to beat the hell out of Mitch, and
the other part wanted him to stop.
