The countdown is almost over. Has everyone gone over to my website to read the excerpt?
For those who haven't, I'll post it right here.
“I love you, Peter.”
“I’m sorry, babe. It’s over. I’m in love with someone else.”
The familiar softness of his fingertips as they glided along her tear-soaked cheek, sent shivers of want for him through her even as he broke her heart.
She didn’t run after the man she’d always loved and knew she’d love forever when he walked out the door for the last time that rainy night six months ago. She dried her tears and buried the pain. There wasn’t time to fall apart. She needed to remain strong to care for her bedridden grandmother. She had no other family left to look after her. Even if she had, she’d be at Gram’s side. The only other person in the world she loved and cherished as much as Peter was her grandmother.

Gram went to live with the angels earlier today. Now she’s alone in the world. There are friends she can turn to for moral support, but it’s not the same. It never will be again.
The tears began spilling from her eyes at ten o’clock this morning and continued the entire time she threw clothes into a suitcase, then climbed behind the wheel of her car and left town. Destination unknown.
She drove for hours in a drizzly rain, without direction, without purpose, and crying her eyes out. When darkness came she continued on, even as blinding rain slashed against the windshield. Then he appeared. Walked from the patch of woods right into the beam of her headlights.
She slammed both feet against the brake pedal, locking the tires and throwing the car into a spin on the wet road. Her fingers kept a death grip on the steering wheel once the whirl ended and she faced the direction she’d just traveled.
She jumped in surprise when he tapped on the window. When the passenger’s side door opened, she slowly tilted her head toward it and gazed into the most hypnotizing pair of blue eyes she’d ever seen.
