A Summer Without You Novels & Stories

“Isabella, you’re too tempting. I can’t control myself around you. If you think we can just be friends, forget it — that’s not happening. I want you the way you want me, and everything you did today proves you crave me too. Break off your engagement to Alex and be my woman. I promise you won’t regret it. We can be together, for as long as it lasts.” He whispered, his voice low and urgent. His last words shattered the fragile calm around Isabella. She stared at him, confusion and something harder warring on her face. “No. I can’t.” “Can’t or won’t, Isabella.” He cut her off and kissed her, fierce and demanding. Isabella turned down a proposal from her best friend, Alex Waltz — not because she didn’t care for him, but because their relationship had always been platonic. When Alex offered a pragmatic arrangement that suited both their needs, she accepted for reasons she kept to herself. Then Adam, Alex’s business partner, entered their orbit, and Isabella found herself drawn to him in ways she hadn’t expected. Adam, convinced at first that Isabella was after Alex’s money, tries to resist. Her charm proves irresistible, and his attraction deepens into obsession. Complicating matters, Alex’s ex, Gracie, returns claiming to be Adam’s girlfriend, throwing the triangle into chaos. Isabella falls for Adam, but before their feelings can settle, her past returns and she disappears. By the time Adam realizes the depth of his love, she is already gone.

My sister had struggled with severe depression for years, and the only thing that seemed to ease her pain was her dog, Toto, who had become her constant companion. But when her illness flared up again, Toto was nowhere to be found. Then, my husband, Lionel Cress's childhood sweetheart posted a picture of Toto on social media. [With her, it feels like you're here with me.] I lost it. I called Lionel in a frenzy, but despite being my sister's psychologist, he was completely indifferent. "Your sister has been sick for so long. How could she suddenly relapse just because Toto's gone for a few days?" When I rushed back home, I found my sister in the bathroom, her wrists cut. Later, Toto's body was discovered outside our building, with Lionel's gift to his childhood sweetheart—a ring—lying next to her. I buried both my sister and Toto, and left behind nothing but a divorce agreement. Lionel went crazy, desperately trying to find me.

Following a heartbreak from my betrothed and the man I have loved all of my life, I leave my home and family behind, seeking solace in the Realm of the Humans. Having no qualifications to live in a world bound by stupid rules has me jumping at an absurdly good offer to be the personal assistant to a top class business man. And my first assignment is delivering his forgotten wedding rings to the event. I found my mate. My boss, standing at the altar, exchanging vows with a puny human woman I could break in half if I wanted to. I flee, fingers clutching the damned ring boxes. He leaves his fiancée at the altar, chasing after me, but it makes no difference to me. I have had my fair share of rejections and I can't take anymore of it. So, I reject him, before he can do the same to me. But rather than cower in pain, he cracks a grin that makes my stony heart stumble, and leans forward, several feet taller than me. "And you're fired."

“You can call me when you’re lonely. I’ll be your temporary fix.” Those were the words that he said to me and it was plain simple, he wanted nothing but sex and I wanted nothing more than too. I was the kind of girl who was too scared of falling in love again because I feel like there is something more in life than being mournful over a guy who never actually gave a hell. I deserve something more than pain and misery over a stupid heartbreak. Since then, I got too scared of commitment that I no longer wanted to be in one. I wanted fun and I wanted to feel like I am alive again. He was the kind of guy who was too busy for permanent relationships. The superstar that all women wanted to bang with. The kind of guy who would have any girls kneel down in front of him because well, he is that kind of guy. He was a guy with a hectic schedule, sold out world tours, drinking champagne in private jets, holding a mic in one hand and conquering all over the world on the other. Maybe I needed someone to show me how to live again and he needed someone to show him how to love.
