Wellingtons.
Can be read as a
standalone
Branson Wellington? The name, my name, is usually followed
by arrogant prick or self-serving
bastard, and I can't say I haven't earned those titles. It's true.
I'm not the good guy. I'm not the boy next door. I'm definitely not your Prince
fucking Charming. Not even close.
And I never wanted to be. Until her. The
day I pulled her from the wreckage was the day that my life
changed.
Who would have thought
that one little lie had the power to throw two lives
off course?
Love has never been in the cards for me, but now that she’s
here, I have no idea how I’m ever going to let her go. Even if I don’t deserve
her.
Because like I said, I’m a self-serving bastard and some
things never change.
“There are some questions I
need to ask you, but we can do that in a little bit. Until then, is there
anyone you want us to call? Someone on scene was able to find your purse, which
fortunately hadn’t been destroyed in the blast. There was no emergency contact
information in your purse, however, and you’ve only been out of surgery for a
couple of hours. We haven’t been able to track anyone down as of
yet.”
The last thing I want is
Victoria and William showing up here, especially with Benjamin in tow. Not
wanting to worry anyone, I decide I’ll call Alyssa once things calm down. “No,
I’m not from around here, and the last thing I want to do is worry my family.
When I’m feeling a little more rested, I’ll give them a call.”
The nurse gives me an
understanding smile, and I sigh with relief that she’s not going to push me on
this. At least not yet. “Okay, Ms. Covington. I understand completely. I’ll
just set your purse here, and if you feel up to it, your cell is still inside.
Now, I need to answer this page, but if you need anything in the meantime,
don’t hesitate to hit the nurses’ call button. You may feel a little drowsy
from the pain medication, so for now, try to get some rest.”
I watch as she leaves the room
before I rest my head on my pillow, replaying the events of the past
twenty-four hours. What should’ve been the prelude to one of the best days of
my life has turned into a nightmare. Instead of wearing a white wedding dress,
I’m stuck in a hospital gown. And even now, my fiancé—or, well, former
fiancé—is the last man on my mind. No, instead, I’m thinking about the
beautiful man who saved my life. Who once told me that he was beyond
saving.
The night I met Branson Wellington, he was a mess. A drunken, pitiful, angry
mess. This evening, I saw no signs of that man. I saw confidence. I saw
arrogance. I saw determination. But I also saw the pain, the anger, the
frustration. That broken man is still in there no matter what strides he’s made
since that night eight months ago. Tonight, he saved me. And even though he
once said that it’s impossible, I’m making it my mission to save him,
too.

I'm a twenty something book junkie
who is also obsessed with sports. Bengals, Buckeyes, Reds are my teams! I work
for the government during the day, hang out with Air National Guard on the
weekends, and have been married to my own book boyfriend for over seven years.
We currently live right outside of Dayton, OH with our two cats.
If I’m not writing or looking
through tons of photos of hot men, all in the name of research, then you can
probably find me curled up with my Kindle, ignoring the rest of the world. I
love my sports almost as much as I love my books. My other obsessions include
red wine, hot men, country music, and all things Grace Potter.
