If Ever I Fall: Book 3 of The Six Series

“I like him. He’s nice,” Airen said, moving to sit down on the couch.
“I think he likes you too. Or it could be your accent,” I said, sitting down beside her and pulling her against me.
“My accent? I don’t have an accent,” she said, playfully shoving her hand against my chest.
I caught her hand in mine. “Yes, you do. And it’s sexy as hell. Just remember something when he’s following you around, hanging onto your every word.”
“Aye, and what shall I remember then?” she said, trying to catch a yawn that came out of nowhere with her hand.
I chuckled. “Tired?”
“Am pure done in, aye. I’ve been awake since the night before my flight,” she answered, snuggling heavily against my side.
“Well, as soon as the bed is put together, I’ll be tucking you right in it,” I answered, brushing her hair behind her ear.
“That feels lovely. I like the way ye touch me, Aiden,” she said. Her voice hinted that she was drifting off to sleep. “What did ye want me to remember?” she asked, attempting to keep our conversation going, but failing miserably at it as her head lolled into my neck.
Her soft breathing told me she’d lost the fight of staying awake before I could tell her that even though Josh hung onto every damn word she said, I’d be the arms she’d fall into. The one whose heart and soul was connected to hers.
She didn’t need that reminder though, because deep down, I knew she understood it, just as much as I knew hers belonged to me. There weren’t words needed to acknowledge it. It was there plain as day with the way she held onto me even as she slept, and the way I’d never let her too far out of my thoughts. We were one.
My heart warmed as it expanded to the point of bursting. She was in my arms, right where I wanted her to be. Right where she belonged. And I’d never let her go.
To my husband, the other half of myself… better known as himself, I love you. Thank you for being the most amazing partner in life.
To my kids, out of everything a parent is supposed to teach their children, I hope you will always remember one thing… your dreams. Follow them and be happy.
To my parents, your excitement and support encourages me every day. Thank you for always being there for me.
To my awesome betas, Kendall, Meg, Tarnya, and Sabina. Thank you for everything. I love getting feedback from you.
A special thank you to Kendall McCubbin for answering all my questions and helping make sure the dialogue, setting, and overall tone of the book rang true. Although, she did bust me on the fact that my characters took on an Edinburgh accent instead of the intended Glasgow one. Oops. So for the readers that picked up on that, I’d like ye to ken that it’s no Kendall’s fault on that point, aye?
To Rebecca Gaskill, words cannot express the gratitude I have for you. Your willingness to be the last set of eyes before each book is published means so much. Much more than I can say, and that says a lot because I write books. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being so amazing.
To my bestest, Candace Knoebel…
**SQUISH**
Such a small word for the monumental meaning behind it.
To my readers, thank you for all of your support.
This book was especially fun for me to write.
I truly hope you enjoyed it!
Sonya Loveday, first and foremost is a reader, an avid one. It is of that love that brought her to
purchasing her first laptop in 2009, and publishing her first novel, Casted, in 2013.
In early 2014, Sonya expanded Casted and then went on to publish Spelled, the sequel to Casted in March, wrapping up the series, and her stint with Paranormal Romance. For now.
Not long after the completion to the Casted Series, Sonya tried her hand at New Adult/Coming of Age, a sub-genre of Contemporary Romance. Thusly, the Six were born with The Summer I Fell, which released at the end of July 2014. The demand from readers was instantaneously, which brought about End Note, the second book of the series in December 2014.
To date, Sonya lives in Central Florida with her husband, and two kids, and is currently working on the fourth book of the Six Series and a super secret project with fellow author Candace Knoebel. Be sure to keep an eye out for upcoming news on Sonya's website!
