The only person left to announce the news to, is Kayden. He is flying back into Houston tonight, so I’m planning a romantic dinner for us. . I think moving permanently to Galveston is the best choice for me; Los Angeles is full of memories of Logan and I. Everyday that I spend there, I fall deeper into a depression. Just being here these last few days has made the weight that had been holding me down instantly disappear.
I was a nervous wreck as I prepared dinner. I had my iPod blasting throughout the house, trying to distract myself from worrying about how Kayden would take my news. His jet was expected to land at Houston Airport in two hours. I hadn’t seen him in three days and can’t wait to be wrapped in his arms again. Over the last few days we discussed being exclusive with each other, we both talked about our insecurities and how we would need to work on building trust in order for a relationship to work between us. We had both been hurt by people we trusted so it was going to be a lot of work…but it would be worth it.
I knew going back to Los Angeles would be a huge hurdle to try and overcome, being that far away from each other was too dangerous. I knew deep down that we would eventually self-destruct, we didn’t know each other well enough to be able to handle that much distance, and our relationship wouldn’t stand a chance. Walking away from him wasn’t an option for me anymore, so moving to Texas seemed like the best option and I was lucky enough to have such an amazing best friend to agree to move here too. I think we were both ready for a chance; Los Angeles was all we’d known since we were infants, it was time for a fresh start at life.
I’m just sliding the lasagna into the oven when I hear the doorbell ring. Brooklyn is already back in Los Angeles so I know it can’t be her, there was no one else here in town who would be at my door…beside Kayden! I would kill him if he landed two hours early and didn’t tell me. I still had to get dressed and finish setting up the house for our romantic reunion. I wipe my hands quickly on a dishrag and run to the door. Even though he was here before I got everything set up, it didn’t make my excitement to see him dwindle, even a little. I run to the door with excitement and nervousness bursting out of me. As soon as I open it however, my feet freeze in place and panic instantly takes over my body. The last person I would ever have expected to see was standing at my door, looking down at me, with the same crystal blue eyes that I’d stared into more times than I could count over the last four years.

Acknowledgments
First off I would like to thank all the amazing Authors, who, with their books, inspired me to want to be an Author myself. As a teenager I was obsessed with V.C. Andrews books, reading every series I could get my hands on thanks to my wonderful Grandmother who I could always count on to support my book addiction. My high school English teacher, Mrs. Heald for teaching the most kick ass creative writing class, she always encouraged me to write, and was always there with words of encouragement whenever I needed that extra push to go for nothing but excellence.
I would also love to thank my Husband and Children for dealing with me while I wrote this book. Between running a boutique and writing this book I have very little time each day to dedicate to household chores. I appreciate all the days you all spent helping out around the house. A special thank you to my oldest Madison who was my little helper chasing Finn all over the place while I was busy making this story come to life. A huge thank you to Sierra for running my boutique and fan page for me all days I was consumed with writing, in between juggling making my bows and tutus!
A special thank you to Heather, Stephanie, Victoria, and Laura for reading and editing my book, and also to Sarah Jones who did the final edit and proofread. I appreciate you all taking time out of your busy schedules to help me write this book, you will never understand just how much it meant to me! Thank you to Leah, who runs the Gideon and Eva fansite on face book for supporting me on this crazy journey and helping spread the word about Irresistible Desire. A big thank you to J.A. Redmerski who is an amazingly talented Author, who has been a great go to woman. Without her help I never would have figured out how to add my book to smash words, and set up a good reads account.
