Moment in Time

MOMENT IN TIME

This summer is all about living. Nothing else! Jenna Traynor has been given her life back. After two years of being in limbo, missing out on college life, she has a second chance. Spending the summer working on Nantucket Island is a good place to start life again. Hot guys everywhere, fun times at the clubs, long walks on the beach and beautiful sunrises and sunsets over the ocean from her back porch. She has a lot of living to make up for. And then she met Bobby...

On leave from the military, Bobby Callahan needs one thing: a quiet beach to run and train so his leg will get strong enough for him to return to his post. For the past three years the only thing that made him get out of bed was the military. He'd joined the service to get away from sympathetic eyes and worried faces. He didn't count on meeting a girl like Jenna whose thirst for life made him break out of the walls he'd so carefully constructed around himself. And once he realized she had his heart, he knew he never wanted to let her go. And then fate stepped in...

This series is a New Adult College Romance series that contains sexual situations that are graphic and explicit and not intended for readers under 18 years old.

Excerpt:

"If I leave you, it'll kill me. If I lose you... It's not going to matter anymore. I can't go through that again. So it's not happening."

I realize he's not talking about just leaving me to deal with this illness all by myself like Jared did. He's talking about my death, something I have tried for two years to pretend wasn't going to happen. And the pain he feels isn't just for me. It's for Donna and Wyatt.

"You know, Bobby, it's inevitable."

"I don't want to hear - "

"We're going to end," I say, drowning out his protest. "You're going back into the military and I'm going to college. And if not college, then... whatever life has in store for me if this lump isn't anything to worry about. But the ending... we sort of knew that, didn't we?"

The flash of hurt that crosses his face levels me. Then his jaw tightens and I'm confused by the hard look he gives me.

"Don't do that."

"What?"

"Don't pretend that what's been between us is just some freaking summer fling. It's not. It may have started that way, but it's not that. Do you hear me?"

I can feel the emotion I've held back rise in my chest and bubble up my throat until it's choking me and I can't breathe. When I open my mouth to speak, a small sob escapes and my lips tremble. "I can't do this to you."

"I can't do this without you," he says. "I want this moment, even if it's awful, Jenna. No matter how much time we have together, I want it. Even if it kills us both in the end. I'm not running away from you. Not now. Not ever." He chuckles though I can hear the emotion he's fighting back. "I just dare you to try to keep me away."
