Synopsis:
Not afraid to speak his
mind or make a scene, Nathaniel Kelly has made a name for himself as country
music’s ultimate bad boy.
Covered in tattoos, singing songs about drugs,
drinking and heartache, Nate acts more like an out of control rock star than the
grandson of one of the genres most influential and legendary stars. Every man
wants to be him. Every woman wants just one night with the hard-rocking country
rebel.
Except me. I just want to know that the boy I used to
love is happy and that I didn’t break his heart in vain. That’s why I buy every
magazine that even mentions his name; at least, that’s the story I tell myself.
When my friends gave me a birthday present any
fan would die for, I was suddenly face-to-face with the man I never thought I’d see
again. My body wasn’t supposed to react to him the way it did. And, Nate sure as hell
wasn’t supposed to look at me the way he used to.
Can someone you loved as a teenager really have a
hold on your heart twelve years later? Is it ever too late to say you’re sorry and
make up for past wrongs? I’m about to find out.

Excerpt:
I’d always planned to get the hell out of my
hometown as soon as high school was over. Hell, once I hit tenth grade, I couldn’t
pack my bags fast enough. I wanted nothing more than to see that shitty little town,
and all of its residents, shrinking in my rearview mirror as soon as possible.
What I hadn’t planned on was having someone in
my life who was so important that he made me question everything and wonder if I
should stay. Or, that someone giving up everything so he didn’t have to leave me. I
couldn’t let him do it, couldn’t let me be the thing that held him back, couldn’t let his
love for me destroy his dreams. So I did the only thing I could do; I wrecked it
all.
For me, there was no simplicity of burning bridges.
No, I strapped dynamite to every single one, blowing them into tiny smithereens.
Then, I bulldozed each surviving piece into a pile, doused it with kerosene, and
aimed a blowtorch toward the debris, just to make sure there would be nothing left.
As the flames roared to life, I danced around the blaze, drinking whiskey straight
from the bottle, toasting the life I’d had, acting like a crazed woman performing a
sacred ritual. As the last of the ashes drifted into the sky, fading from red hot into
cold black, I sobbed, knowing there was no way I could ever undo the damage I’d
just done.
It was stupid, dangerous, and devastating, but I
needed to make sure every single relationship I had was destroyed. The only way I
would be able to move on somewhere else was if there was no reason left for me to
go back, and no way I could ever show my face there again, even if I’d wanted to.
Unfortunately, I needed to hurt him, to decimate him, so he would hate me and
could let me go and build a stronger life without me.
The one thing I never thought about, the one thing I
hadn’t taken into consideration, was that most eighteen-year-old girls are idiots.
They run on pure emotion, thinking with their heart, not their head. I had thought I
was so mature, that somehow I had all the answers and knew what was best for
everyone, so I made their decisions for them. In reality, I was just a naïve, small-
town girl with more fashion sense than common sense – and looking back at the
pictures proves that I didn’t know fashion for shit. What seemed like the perfect idea
all those years ago was now my biggest regret.
