Stone West.

Not a lot can be said that isn’t already common knowledge.

Lucas Stone is arrogant, egotistical, and an overall smartass. One could say I know him well. Or,

I used to anyway.

He was the boy next door before his life changed overnight.

Now, he’s a movie star who got his start with an underwear ad on a bus. His face is everywhere—in magazines and newspapers, on TV and the big screen.

Imagine my surprise when I’m told he’s coming back, and I’m tasked with helping him remember where he came from.

Old habits die hard, and Luke is one I’m still trying to get rid of.

The thing is… back home, he’s still just the guy next door.

RELEASE ALERT

Leaona (Lee-aw-na) Luxx is a wife and mother of three young men. She was inspired to write at a young age, drawing from real life situations, she depicts a world where love, life, and redemption can be found.

While loving all genres, Lea writes contemporary romance. Her books are true to life and are not your average love stories. Drawing from everyday life, she writes about what she’s lived, to create her characters and their worlds helping to make them personable from the beginning to end.

Leaona’s debut, Cherry Grove released on June 22, 2016. Her books follow a family and their friends through life’s ups and downs in Leaona’s Redeeming Romance World. Although the stories are all standalone, you’ll love finding old and new characters with every book.

“O.M.G., O.M.G.! Just finished U-Turn. Holy freaking sh*t, I don’t have words at the moment… or breath!!! So I’m pretty sure Leaona Luxx is getting to insert an evil laugh or two at this very moment…”

“I told Lea I wasn’t sure about this book. I wasn’t sure I could read a story about someone I hated sooo much. I should have had faith, she said it was going to be worth it. It was… And more so. I had tears just waterfalling down at the end.”

TROUBLE.

That’s all she is and all she’ll ever be.

What in the hell was I thinking getting involved with her?

Everyone knows her reputation precedes her.

But I’ll be damned if I don’t like it.

Hurricane Ava crashes to shore wreaking havoc, the beautiful disaster she is.

And I love it.

What’s worse, she does too.

So, why am I in love with her? Because, she loves me.

She just doesn’t know it yet.

I park at the airport entrance, racing through every checkpoint I can before actually yelling, “He’s leaving. I have to tell him I love him.” The airport officials have mercy on me when I explain he’s a soldier and I’m crazy for him. “He may not make it back, he’s deploying.”

Pointed in the right direction, I sprint to his departure gate. His family standing close by the window, I know then he’s already boarded. I push past several onlookers to the wide expanse of glass standing between us.

I search, switching between his family and the plane, to gauge where he will be. My chest constricts as I get a glimpse of him for the first time in fatigues. He’s breathtaking. As my pride swells, I lay my hand on the window, reaching for him.

I begin to lose hope when his eyes suddenly dart to me. A smile growing on his face as I fight to dry mine. The plane begins to roll, and I follow it, never moving my hand from the clear barrier. When Riley raises his hand, pressing it against the glass, I fall to my knees.

My eyes never leave his face nor does my hand break our connection. I stay there as he taxi’s down the runway and lifts off. Leaving me. I push against the glass with both hands, hoping beyond all things I could break it and run after him.

I sit against the window, clutching my chest as if my heart has fallen from it until Walker picks me up from the floor. He carries me from the building, my life in ashes. Walker sits with me until I regain some semblance of composure. I’m not ever far from plummeting over the edge again.

“I just want to say WOW. Just WOW. I seriously hated Ava. No redeeming qualities whatsoever in Changing Lanes and now she is one of my favorite people and i was rooting for her. I DID NOT see that U-turn (brillliant). I love your writing. And i love how when I read your books I get to know all characters. Not just one or two. Bravo!!! Great great job!!”

“This book! Goodness woman! Your characters are so real. You managed to make me hate Ava in Changing Lanes and love her…even at her worst…in U-Turn. And Riley! There were times I wanted to rip his heart out. Thank you for giving me this privilege! You are one damn good storyteller!”

She just doesn’t know it yet.

I find myself halfway home when I do a U-turn. I hit the gas, speeding toward Myrtle Beach. My tears fall once again as I think of him leaving and I’m not the last person he sees. I need to be the last thing he sees. The fissure my heart has suffered begins to quake as I pray I make it back to him.

I park at the airport entrance, racing through every checkpoint I can before actually yelling, “He’s leaving. I have to tell him I love him.” The airport officials have mercy on me when I explain he’s a soldier and I’m crazy for him. “He may not make it back, he’s deploying.”

Change. It’s change and how well you handle it which defines a person.

Three times in my life, I have been faced with such changes. Once when I was fourteen. Again, at eighteen. And now again at twenty-eight.

Twice, she was there.

Ten years ago, I gave up everything, including her. At the time, it was the right thing to do, for both our sakes. Walking away from her isn’t what I wanted, it’s what had to be done.

Now, she’s here. People like me don’t always get second chances, this happens to be mine. That’s if she’ll have me. If she’ll accept why I left and the fact, she’ll always be second.

You see, I have a secret. It could change everything when she learns the truth. She may be the one walking away this time.

We’re about to find out.

“Don’t you understand? I can’t love you.”Turning to her, tears fall from her eyes unrestrained.

“Of course, I understand. I see it every time she’s around. When you say her name. Hear her voice. I see it in your eyes when you think of her. But I can’t stop my heart from wanting what it wants. It wants you, Brannon. Always has. Always will.” With her fists to her side, she walks away and I let her.
