“It’s green.” My eyes darted around as I took in the pale green walls. They were the color of the ocean, our first loves.
“I wanted to give you your green room.” He shrugged and tears pooled in my eyes. “I wanted to make love in OUR green room.” He turned, forgetting about the cereal, and strode back to me. I’d sat up at this point, letting the sheet pool at my waist.
“Our green room?” I whispered as he knelt before me. My voice trembled as I tried to make sense of it all.
“If you want to.” He swallowed. “I love you, Jess. I’d love for you to move in… if that’s something you’re ready for.”
“You made it green.” I still couldn’t believe it.
“You said that already.” He chuckled.
“Yes,” I smiled at him, “but you know if I move in, I’m not calling you god.”
“We’ll see.” He smirked as he pressed a quick kiss to my lips. Right at that moment my stomach decided to growl again. “Food. I’m on it.” He turned and rushed toward the kitchen, leaving me there stunned.
I was here…in the green room. I’d finally found my place, and it was with Ryan.

Acknowledgements
I feel like the I say the same things over and over every time I write one of these. I mean how many ways can you tell the awesome people in your life, thank you? Words just never seem like enough, but I still try to do them justice when I write these.
The Indie book world has changed so much over the last 4 years, and my stories wouldn’t be what they are without the awesome team that I have. Between betas, an editor, proofer, and PR the list goes on. Ryan and Jess were a hard couple to write. They challenged me in a way I haven’t been challenged before. Ryan’s douchbag ways were hard to stomach at times, but I knew there was a good guy somewhere deep inside him. Just like Jess, I couldn’t give up on him.
Thank you, Angie and Melinda, for not giving up on him either. I think I leaned on you more for this book then I ever have. The rewrites were painful at times. My delete key got a workout, but this story is better for it.
Thank you, Kellie, for the notes and ninja editing skills.
Thank you to Cassy at Pink Ink for the beautiful cover.
And finally… thank you readers!!! When I first wrote The Shattered Series, I never dreamed it would have enough of a following to support a spinoff series. The love you continue to show towards Nick and Leah and their crazy family humbles me. I hope you enjoyed Ryan’s book, and stick around for Cayden’s story in the future. Please take the time to write a review at the retailer you purchased your book from. Reviews help spread the word about my books to other readers.
