Love is the best revenge
Devastated after an emotional break-up, Alexis decides to finish her fall semester and leave East Brook College and the town of East Brook forever, certain starting over in a new place will soothe her wounded heart. Her plans are derailed when her ex-lover returns wanting another chance. Despite the chemistry between them and their sensual history, should she risk her heart again for a man who told her she wasn’t good enough for him or his tribe?
Bowing to tribal pressure, Sean Yonah was forced to hurt his best friend and lover, the one woman he couldn’t get enough of. Now the Spirits say she may be his “other.” Sean knows what he did was deplorable, but if he doesn’t convince Alexis to forgive him, he’ll lose a lot more than the love of his life.
Excerpt
“I don’t want you anymore.”
Startled, Alexis caught the glass of iced tea before it fell out of her hand and hit the floor. Alexis couldn’t believe he was doing this now, on their date night, in the middle of Thursday’s, in front of everyone. This was the first date night they’d managed to fit in for weeks. Alexis suddenly realized that wasn’t a coincidence. The bastard had started dumping her weeks ago. Taking a deep breath, reaching for strength from an unfamiliar place, she looked up into blue eyes and watched the lips that had brought her so much pleasure repeat the words.
“We can’t be together.”
Licking her lips, she began to say something, anything that would help make sense of the craziness spewing from Sean’s mouth. The word why was forming on hers when he held his hand up, stopping Alexis before she could speak.
“It’s been fun while it lasted, but I need to be with someone like me.”
His cold words stabbed my withered heart. Someone like him. So she was a freaking loser because she wasn’t Native American?
“There’s no need to drag this out, Alexis,” Sean continued shooting more ice missiles in her heart. “I just can’t do this with you anymore. I shouldn’t have let it go on this long.”
Before she could lift her hand to slap the sense back into him, he got up and left. Sick with embarrassment and humiliation, Alexis glanced around to see if anyone else had witnessed her complete and utter humiliation. Her eyes met one of the waitresses, snickering as she walked by. A couple of guys had their heads turned toward the booth she was at and quickly turned around when her eyes met theirs. The waitress placed the food down and left as quickly as she had come.
Taking a deep breath, Alexis swallowed forcing back tears. She wouldn’t break down in front of these people. With shaking hands, she placed some bills on the table and stood up. Throwing her hood over her head, she turned and walked blindly toward the restaurant entrance.
Once outside, the enormity of the situation hit Alexis. She’d just been dumped because she of her race.
