Awakened — T.C. Matson

Kelsie I was just getting my life under control -- new job, new friends, less past. Until I met him -- this persistent and insanely sexy man who spoke few words. He stormed into my world with one rule -- leave your heart out of it. I knew I had to walk away, but his grip was tighter than I ever expected. I had no idea my past intertwined with his present, yet it almost stood in the way of our future. Adam My life was exactly the way I wanted it -- nothing of importance tying me down and endless strings of nameless and faceless women. That all changed when I met her. I gave her one rule, yet I couldn't follow it. Her presence caused something inside me to snap and she awakened feelings and thoughts I had tucked away long ago -- ones I knew caused pain. I had no control over what was happening. My only choice was to watch, unable to stop our worlds colliding. As both our pasts haunted us, everything around me shattered.
