Undeniably Asher — K.L. Kreig

Memories. When does our past stop picking at our scars and start letting them heal? Scars. Can we see beyond our wounds to the possibilities the future holds? Possibilities. How do we let ourselves become vulnerable enough to trust the love that's right in front of us? Fate. She's a fickle, wily bitch that slaps us in the face every opportunity she gets. Sometimes it's a taunt, but sometimes it's a goddamn wake-up call to pay attention. Take what's rightfully yours without shame or apology. So when destiny put me straight in Alyse Kingsley's path once again, I knew this was one slap I wasn't ignoring. I'd let her get away once. I wouldn't again. She was mine and I was takin' her, kicking and screaming if need be. Alyse ~ Deceit and betrayal. Every single person who was supposed to love me committed one of these. My mother. My father. My sister. My lover. Incapable of letting people see the real me, I hold them at arm's length. But Asher Colloway is relentless and it doesn't take long before I cave to his pursuits. The big question is: can I let him in where it counts most? Before ghosts from my past come back to haunt me in ways I can't possibly fathom? Before it's too late? Asher ~ Trust. Forgiveness. Impossible concepts, having been fucked over by a woman I'd loved before. But those aren't my only personality flaws. I'm possessive. I'm jealous. I'm dominant. I have a secret kink. I want Alyse. All of her. She shows people the shiny, untainted surface. I want the murky, damaged depth. The shadows. I want in all the way. Just when I think I've made it, fate cruelly bitch-slaps me again. And this time I don't see it coming. The question now is: what am I willing to do to keep the woman I love by my side? And can Alyse accept me the way I am, faults and all?
