Excerpt:
Chapter 1
Three
Weeks Earlier
(Jaynee)
Jaynee’s alarm squawked its
annoying morning greeting as she awoke with the thought, I am thirty-nine and I love my life, I love my life, I love my life.
Crawling out of bed, she
repeated the mantra. What’s not to love? I
am married to a wonderful husband, I have four beautiful children, and I have
published six bestsellers. What’s not to love?
And yet, as she padded her way
to the master bath at five a.m., her heart felt heavy. She refused to accept
the word that best described her disposition. She couldn’t be the “D” word…she
couldn’t be depressed. Maybe depressed wasn’t the right word, melancholy, that
sounded better.
There was a time when she
didn’t wake before noon, years ago when she had to work until two in the morning.
Not that her previous life was better, it wasn’t. She’d made numerous terrible
decisions in her youth. Only one choice was an excellent decision: marrying her
husband. Her life had been a whirlwind of afflictions, tragedies, and
disappointments up to the point of him walking into her life.
Four days was all it had taken
her to fall head over heels in love. Jordan had said it was the Thunderbolt, and she’d felt it, too.
When he’d asked her to marry him in less than a week, she struggled with the
correct decision, certain he would hurt her as everyone else had done in her
life. But in the end, she’d made the right decision. Trusting in Jordan had
been the smartest thing she’d ever done; he had never hurt her. That had been almost
eighteen years ago, but now she was turning forty in less than a month.
