Luke turns back to me, giving me a quick, teasing once-over. “You’re sweaty.”
“Yeah, I burned some calories.”
He smirks, his hand brushing up and down my waist. “Would you like to burn some more?”
I laugh, shoving him playfully. “Oh, please.”

Julie’s life is finally falling into place. She’s found Luke—a man who makes her laugh, refreshes her, and makes her believe that she deserve everything better.
But, just when she’s beginning to believe in love again…
The universe must truly hate me.
It’s like every time I find joy, Ryan’s always there to ruin it.
“You both will pay,” he says. “You’ve started a war with me.”
Julie doesn’t flinch. “You think you can win a war against me? Well, game on, Ryan.”
She wants a divorce and let Ryan get out of her house with his mistress and their baby!
Wait, is the baby even Ryan’s?

Julie stands strong, determined to put her past behind her, but Luke reveals a secret that shakes her to the core.
“It’s… the fifth anniversary of my son’s death.”
I freeze. Luke had a son. And he died.
How did I not know this?
