Karley's Surrender

I was just a small-town bookstore employee with no degree. I didn't have a fancy wardrobe, nor did I have a figure that fit into anything below a double-digit size starting with a 2. My past was ugly, as were the scars it left me with. I had given up hope of getting even a chance at a happily-ever-after.

But then it happened. The unexpected presented itself, but it presented with obstacles I wasn't prepared for, including ones that I created on my own. No one tells you what you'll have to go through, the layers of insecurities you'll have to shed, the emotional baggage you'll have to sift through, nor the sheer terror of lending trust to someone when everyone you've ever known has broken it.

And no one, I mean no one, will ever tell you what it takes when you're given not one, but two, shifters…I mean soul mates…I mean men…who want forever with you. There was no preparing for that, especially when those men were opposites in many ways.

Shane Walker was wild and impulsive compared to Cole Riviera's calm and dominant. Shane was a free spirit, whereas Cole was controlled. They both required something different of me. And that was scary when we were all capable of making mistakes. It meant I had to surrender every logical fear and inhibition without any guarantees. It meant for the first time in my life, I had to stop running.

They say that it's worth it. In the books and movies, it always seems to be worth it. But we all know there is only one way to know for sure.

This book was previously published in 2012 but has been completely re-written to the point that very few similarities between the two remains, and it feels like an entirely new story.
