Fighting For Our Forever

  “No more, Dani. I’m coming into these appointments with you. Maybe you’re ready to accept all this, but I’m not. I will fight for you!”

  “There’s nothing to fight for,” I argue, heading for the passenger side of the Jeep.

  Mr. H snags my arm as I walk past him and he pulls me into his chest, clasping my head against his ribcage. “Do you hear this sound?”

  His heart is racing. It’s pounding. “Yes.”

  “That’s because of you. It’s always been because of you and I won’t let anything come between us.”

  “This is why I’m with you, Mr. H. This is why I fell in love with you.” He has an uncontrollable need to love, and I’ve needed to be the recipient. It has saved me so many times, and I’ve wanted to believe it might be the one thing that always saves me.

  “Don’t call me Mr. H right now. It’s not funny anymore.”

  “It’s funny to me, so let me have my funny right now.”

  What isn’t funny … is that no amount of love in the world can save me from losing my mind.

  Acknowledgments

  Authors are always asked what our favorite book is or who are favorite characters are. For most, it’s like choosing you one child over the other, a near impossible task. However, when I created Ajay and Whiskey, I had no idea where they would end up, until I started writing Chasing My Forever. Ajay was perfect for the Beaumont Series, an addition edition for Katelyn and Harrison, and a much needed friend for Quinn… you know since Noah’s playing football (and hopefully trying to make Liam a grandfather). My heart ached for Ajay though. He was a lost boy, searching for a place to belong, and he found that with the James’ and Sinful Distraction. While the original group from Beaumont will always be my number one, Ajay and Whiskey rose pretty high in the ranks of favorites!

  I want to thank my agent, Marisa, for working tirelessly to make sure everyone across the globe has access to my novels. My team: Yvette, Traci, Ellie & Emma for making my words and thoughts more eloquent.

  And to the readers: Without you, I wouldn’t have anyone to tell stories to.

  Huge shout-out to all the Beaumont Babes – you’re pretty awesome!
