It only took one letter to make every painful memory resurface. But it took Kyleigh Helton thirteen years to bury those memories. The question in that letter will force her to make a difficult decision. Forgive, or continue to let resentment and anger consume her fragile core.The simple life she craves seems miles away when she’s dealing with an ex who won’t let her go and a boyfriend whose problems mimic a past she’d rather forget.
She realizes it’s time for things to change. But every decision and change she makes has a consequence, and she begins to wonder if she’s strong enough to handle them.
David Madison has been struggling with guilt and grief since his brother’s death and finds comfort in the one thing Kyleigh despises. When a phone call pushes him over the edge and guilt consumes him even more, he breaks a promise to Kyleigh that threatens to tear them apart.
As quickly as things fall back into place, his world shatters again, pushing him to the breaking point, and he begins to wonder how much more he can take before he turns to the one addiction that started it all.
But he can’t. He promised. He needs to stay strong for Kyleigh. Because now she needs him more than ever, and he won’t let her down again.

Sliding the black helmet down on her head, she looked at David already
sitting on the bike, and watched as he readjusted the mirrors. The vibrations
of the black Harley reverberated against the garage, and she felt excitement
build up inside her. Adrenaline was ricocheting throughout her body, causing
her hands to tremble from the rush, and making her fingers fumble with the
straps of her helmet.
“Come here, let me
help,” David said, over the roar of the engine.
Leaning her head within
his reach, she smiled at him as he fastened her helmet, the gesture making her
feel like a little kid.
“All right, you’re
secured and ready,” he said, giving her helmet a smack and motioning for her to
hop on back.
She gripped his
shoulder as she threw her leg over and then wrapped her arms tightly around his
waist. Pressing her chest firmly against his back, she asked, “How’s this?”
Cocking his head to the
left, he gave her a sideways look, showing a dimple filled cheek as his grin
widened. “Perfect.”
Revving the engine,
David slowly took off down the driveway as she tightened her grip. After a
bumpy ride down the gravel drive, he turned right out of his place, taking them
farther into the country. As they picked up speed, the vibration of the bike
between her legs intensified, and she closed her eyes, enjoying the feel of the
wind whipping against her face. The feeling of flying down the open road was
indescribable and she had the urge to let go of David and hold both her arms
out. Her shirt ruffled up from the breeze and strands of her dark hair flew out
from under the helmet. She inhaled a deep breath, already feeling as though the
fresh air was cleansing her soul. This was exactly what she needed.
“Oh, my God, David,
this is unbelievable. I can’t believe you never took me out on this!” she
yelled, smacking the back of his shoulder.
“Hey!” he yelled,
laughing. “Sorry, you just never mentioned going, so I guess I never thought
you’d be interested.”
Resting her chin on his
shoulder, she said, “With the vibration between my legs and the feel of all my
stress flying away with the wind, it’s almost as wonderful as sex.”
“What? No way am I
letting my bike outperform me. I’ll give you the ride of your life later
tonight,” he said, casting a look over his shoulder at her as his hand reached
around and squeezed her thigh.
“Hmm, I’ll be sure to
take you up on that,” she said, pressing her lips against his neck.
