Chapter Six
I’d gotten used to being the subject of whispers at parties, but tonight it felt like they felt like shouts. I blamed Adam’s camp for letting this get out of hand. We’d all agreed that we wouldn’t give attention to our separation and impending divorce for a few months. He’d been elected mayor for a second term and everything had spun out of control, including our marriage, which had already been rocky. The newfound attention he got right after we said our vows made the strain ...

Chapter Five
5 years later . . .
“That was a strike! Come on ump,” Dad shouted beside me.
I glanced up from my phone and looked at the field in time to see the manager run up to the umpire, get in his face, and start a screaming match. I couldn’t even understand what they were saying, but sitting in the third row I was treated to a series of fuck you’s.
“Finally. Something to spice the game up.” I set my phone down and picked up my beer.
Dad scoffed, but didn’t take his eyes off ...

3 years later
It was supposed to be the happiest day of my life, so why did I have this gaping hole in my chest as if something was missing?

I’d already put my own aspirations into the backburner in order to work on his campaign and deep down I knew this was only the beginning. This was what it meant to be married to a someone in public ...

"Oh, hell no." I stood completely still in front of the driver. "This has to be some kind of joke."
I hadn't seen him since he'd brought me home that day years ago, but had since learned his name and a few things about him - Nathaniel Bradley, my father's favorite pet. He was currently putting himself through business school in NYU, which I'd admit was impressive. What wasn't impressive was hearing my father talk about him all the time. That was just ...

The Consequence of Falling – THE PREQUEL – Chapter One
A little background on this . . . if you read Paper Hearts by me, you know I wrote a prequel (Torn Hearts) and posted it on WattPad before I released the book. I do this more for myself, as an exercise, when I can't seem to connect with a specific part of the story. In this case, I know Presley and I know Nathaniel, but I couldn't connect with them together, so I figured I'd write their background story before delving into the *actual story* and that's where "The Prequel" comes in.
