Blurb/Synopsis:
At 24 years old, Holly Scallanger has the perfect life.
Everything a girl could want; a beautiful man, a stunning home, as well as
being in the midst of preparing for the wedding of her dreams. This all
vanishes the night she catches her fiancé, Brandon Morgan, in bed with her
worst nightmare, Donna Sinclair, just a week before Holly is set to walk down
the aisle.
Attempting to recover from his betrayal, Holly swears off
the affections of men in order to pick up the pieces of her crumbling life.
Unfortunately, meeting Jake 'Hooligan' Peters is not part of her plan. The
tall, dark-haired and handsome as hell med student, sweeps Holly away from the
pain of her past and reveals to her the bright future that lies ahead. That is,
until she falls pregnant just as Jake begins his internship at P&E; his
family's hospital.
Will this love at first sight lead her to the fairytale she
has always craved? Or, will she fall victim to a betrayal of the heart yet
again?
She knew the minute she spelled it out for him that he’d cottoned on to the fact that she knew he’d slept with Donna, and then the lies would start all over again. He would begin by telling her his soppy version, and ultimately manipulate her into staying by telling her that it would never happen again. Except, that this time, she had proof.
The dead line signal beeped in her ear before she could tell him not to bother.
If she wanted to be rid of his sorry ass, she had to move fast. Where he worked was only a twenty minute drive to her place, and in an emergency, ten.
Holly got up off the floor, grabbed the rest of her stuff, shoved it into her suitcase and hauled it to her pathetic little Beetle, unceremoniously chucking the suitcase into it. She didn’t own anything else, because he had everything. Another thing he’d manipulated her with throughout the years.
She backed out of the garage of the million dollar mansion her now-no-longer-to-be-daddy-in-law had bought them as a wedding present three months earlier. She knew she would never find that kind fortune again, but money couldn’t buy happiness, she knew that now.
Her phone was on the passenger seat.
She had no idea where to go, except to Bernice’s, her best friend. They’d had a falling out a month ago, and although Bernie had warned her to not go crying when he hurt her, she knew her friend hadn’t meant it in that way.
They had been friends since they’d been in diapers. Bernie would understand. She’d tried and failed to tell Holly, repeatedly, that Brandon was a dick, but Holly hadn’t listened. At that time, the reality of not being with him had been unbearable.
Now the only thing she saw whenever she closed her eyes, was Donna on top of Brandon in some classy hotel he’d never taken her to.
Holly resolutely dialed her friend’s number, thanking God she hadn’t deleted it when he’d asked her to. It wouldn’t have mattered anyway, as Holly knew Bernie’s number by heart. The phone rang three times before Bernice answered.
“Never thought I'd hear from you again,” Bernie huffed in an unimpressed tone.
“I did it,” Holly blurted without a greeting, and then promptly began to cry. She’d kept most of her tears back for way too long.
“What?” Bernie sounded surprised. “Where are you now? Shit, I hope you’re not driving.”
“I had to get away. I only have my suitcase and no idea what I’m going to do!” she bawled.
“Calm down, okay? Pull over, or better yet, go to the mall. I’ll meet you at Madley’s. Just don't drive, please,” Bernie begged.
“Okay,” Holly uttered, so softly it was barely audible. She disconnected the call, dropped her phone onto her lap and quickly wiped the tears from her eyes and face before she ended up causing an accident. Thankfully, the mall was a five minute drive from their home. She didn’t think Brandon would go looking for her there. At least, she hoped he wouldn’t.
Isabella White was born and raised in South
Africa, where she still lives with her husband and two beautiful little girls.
She always knew she was going to be a writer, but it only started to really
happen about four years ago. In her free time―if she gets any because moms
don’t really have free time―she loves to spend it with friends, whether it’s a
girl’s night out, or just watching a movie. She’s a very chilled person. Her
writing career started with Firebolt, book one in the Dragonian series under the
pen name of Adrienne Woods. Her other series, Dream Casters, will be released
mid-2015. She also writes in different genres, You and Me 4Ever has a total of
3 novels. More to come in the Pregnancy Diaries soon. And then, she has a
paranormal series by the name of the Aswang series, which will consist of about
ten novels. And if that wasn’t enough, there is another series, Guardians of
Monsters, which will be released in 2016. Both novels are written under another
pen name called Kristen Ping.
