There's always the one…
He's one person throughout life you think about every so often, the one
who leaves his unique indelible mark on you, the person with whom you
need closure. For Margaret Collins that person was Mike Taylor. After he
broke her heart seventeen years ago, she left everything she knew and
reinvented herself. With a new home, a new look and a new name, Riley
Williams is now an up and coming journalist given the assignment to
interview a Mike Taylor. She never suspected he would be her Mike
Taylor. With Mike having no hint of Riley's true identity, she must
decide if she will make him pay for sins he doesn't remember committing,
or if she can wipe away the past and be with the one man who she has
always wanted? Can she finally have closure?
Excerpt
There’s always that one guy. Riley watched her date and shook her
head.
"Stay there, I'll get the door." Mike got out of the car.
The cellophane on the roses Mike gave her when he arrived at her apartment
crinkled in complaint as she moved them to the back seat, but not before
she breathed in one more time. The floral perfume combined with his
cologne made her dizzy, or maybe it was the ride down Pacific Coat Highway
to Malibu.
Yes, there was always that one guy, the one that every other man is
measured against. Up until yesterday she hadn’t thought about Mike
in years, but he was always there. His imprint was all over her, a fingerprint
unique to only her. How many men had to live up to memories they couldn’t
compete with?
Part of her wished she possessed the strength to turn him down. Part
of her wished he hadn't shown, or cancelled. Part of her wanted this
date to reclaim what she lost so long ago she forgot she missed it.
The moment she got in the car with him, she became the seventeen-year-old
Margaret again. Only her former self never got this far. At the time
she convinced herself it was better, the date would have been terrible,
he was too goal oriented, and he only wanted what he perceived as an
easy lay.
He took long strides around the car, opened the door on her side and
held out his hand.
"Riley."
Now she was Riley. Margaret was gone. Riley had hidden her away with
a name change taken from her parents' middle names, a bottle of hair
dye, and a move to a new state.
She paused, studying him. Tonight he wore a pair of black pants and
matching blazer and dark blue button down. As always, he fit his situation
perfectly. She acquiesced and put her hand in his.
