Summary from
Goodreads:
Alexis doesn’t believe in fairytales. She knows
first hand that life can turn on a dime – that one stupid mistake can shatter
dreams and irrevocably shape the future. Even though her memory of that day is
hazy, she has spent the last ten years trying to put it behind her and focus on
the future.
Armed with the knowledge that her career will be her only legacy, Alexis works night and day to prove that she is more than just her last name. It’s not only that she doesn’t have time for love – she doesn’t have the heart for it. After all, there’s no point in starting something that you can’t finish.
However, when she meets Adam, she’s drawn to him in a way even she can’t deny. He is dark and brooding and strangely charming. He’s the perfect distraction from the mundane life she’s created for herself. And, as if fate is pushing them together, he seems to be around every corner. It’s enough to almost make her entirely forget about her past and take a chance.
Unfortunately, Adam’s memory isn’t hazy . . . not in the least. And, what she doesn’t remember, he can’t forget.
*Mature New Adult/Adult novel – contains adult situations and sexuality and is suited for ages 18 and up*

Excerpt 3:
Even though
my eyes were still focused on Ethan, I could see Adam in my periphery. Just as
he reached for the door, I forced a giggle. Miraculously, the sound that
bubbled out of me sounded more genuine than I thought possible, considering how
hollow and breakable I suddenly felt. Adam paused at the door and turned toward
us. Again, I forced myself not to look in his direction, but I could feel his
eyes on me. And then he pushed the door open, and the energy in the room was
gone.
“That was
fantastic. If your day job doesn’t work out, maybe you should try acting,”
Ethan said, squeezing my hands before he let them go.
“What was
that? What have I done?” I groaned at him. “Adam and I don’t play games with
each other.”
“If that’s
the guy you want, I think you’d better start,” he said. He raised his eyebrows
and cocked his head toward the window.
Adam shut
the passenger door for his stunning coffee date and walked around the front of
what had to be one of the sexiest cars I’d ever seen. It was some sort of vintage
muscle car that appeared to have been meticulously restored and maintained. It
was sleek and black with two grey stripes down the hood. It was bold and
eye-catching, and looked incredibly fast. It also had a toughness about it that
said ‘don’t mess with me.’ It was just like Adam.
As he opened
the driver’s side door, he looked up over the roof of the car, and his eyes met
mine through the window. The corners of his mouth turned up in the barest hint
of a smile. He nodded once at me and then ducked inside the car. It started up
with a roar, and he was gone.
With the girl.
In the car.
That I had never even seen before, let alone been in.
“No fucking
way, Alexis.” Ethan said, groaning. “You’re dating Batman.”
I finally
turned away from the window, but couldn’t return his smile.
The smile
fell from his face, and he threw his hands up in the air in frustration. “I
take that back. You’re in love with Batman.”
About the Author
Jenni Moen lives
in Oklahoma with her husband and three crazy, exuberant kids that have the
potential to burn the house down at any moment.
When she’s not chauffeuring kids around town, performing her mom duties as a
short order cook and maid, or vacuuming for her fastidious husband, she hammers
away at her keyboard at her big girl job as a patent attorney. While vodka and
exercise have provided some relief from the daily grind, it is reading … and
now writing … that are her true escapes.
