Do
Over: A Free Will novel
Allie
Kincheloe
I screwed up. Bad.
On a spring break trip to the beach, I met Kara--the girl of my dreams. I bared my soul to her, but left out one tiny little detail. Of course, Kara saw it differently. Now Kara's long gone and that girl back home I forgot to mention is dating my brother. When Kara reappears in my life, I'm determined to get a second chance with her. I know she's what I want, but can I convince her that a do over is worth the risk?
He broke my heart.
I met the most amazing guy. Unfortunately, another girl got him first. So, I picked up the shattered pieces of my heart and planned to spend the summer hiding out while I patch my battered soul. Just as I settle in to the microscopic town my mom moved to, my new equilibrium is destroyed. Austin saunters in the door of the clinic where I work. My body wants him as much as ever, but can I trust him with my still-mending heart?

“We’re sorry. The number you
have reached is no longer in service. If you feel you’ve reached this message
in error, please hang up and try again.”
How the hell could her
number no longer be in service? I had just freaking called her a few hours ago
and it worked. I tried again, only to get the same monotone recording.
What the fuck?
Flinging the damn phone, I
cussed. “Son of a bitch.” I scrubbed my hand over my eyes, fighting a tension
headache. This day could not get any worse. Everything I’d done was falling
apart and I couldn’t stop the avalanche of shit piling up around me.
“Austin, seriously?” Randy
caught the phone seconds before it hit him in the face. “Why are you throwing
shit at me?”
“I wasn’t throwing it at
you. I just…” I balled up my fists, barely resisting the urge to slam one into
the wall. Forcing a deep breath into my lungs only helped briefly. “Kara’s
number is no longer in service.”

Her two weeks of freedom...
My comfortable existence is shaken by a simple picture. A single cell phone snap delivered photographic proof of the years I wasted on a guy who couldn't keep his dick in his pants over spring break. I'm done. But then Austin blurts out this ridiculous idea to even the score. Two weeks with any guy I choose? After a few brief fantasies, I hardly give his plan a thought ... until I stumble into the path of a guy most definitely not on my list. Now Jake's the only possibility I can bring myself to consider and the one man Austin has forbidden.
His only chance...
For three years now, I've been in love with a girl who's off limits. Some lines a man just can't cross. Going after your brother's girl is one of them. But when Austin screws up, I finally get my shot. Getting Laney to pick me for the short-term was the easy part. Convincing her that I'm the right brother for the long-term? Not so simple.

Excerpt:
Granny's eyes were
sharp as razors when she looked Jake over. "Why are you here?"
Well, that was blunt.
Granny never beat around the bush when she could jump right in.
"Jimmy and Susie
said you wanted to meet me." Jake gestured for me to take the only chair,
but I sat on the bed next to Granny and let him have the seat.
"No shit. I meant
why are you at the hospital. You just started fooling around with my
granddaughter a few days ago, a bit soon to be hanging around the hospital with
her family."
He sighed and ran his
hands through his hair. "She needed me."
"Did she
now?" Her piercing glare never left Jake. He shifted a bit, looking
uncomfortable with the scrutiny, but didn't bolt.
"She did." He
smiled at me, adding, "And I'm not just fooling around with your
granddaughter."
"Uh huh... Why
should I believe that? You hardly know her. "
Shit.
Granny didn't like him.
She'd kicked such a fuss with my cousins that she'd made them break up with
boyfriends and girlfriends she didn't like before. I didn't want to lose Jake
before I even knew what we really had.
Jake threw his head
back and laughed. The idiot freaking laughed. "I'm crazy about Laney. And
you can believe that, or not." His eyes met mine, and my heart skipped a
beat at his intensity.
"Why?"
With confusion
crinkling his eyes, he turned back to Granny. "Why what? Why do I like
Laney? Or why should you believe me?"
Granny's eyes narrowed.
She glared at him until he spoke. He didn't look at her when he answered. He
looked right into my eyes, his hand holding mine.
"I'm crazy about
Laney because she's everything I've ever wanted. She's funny. She looks like an
angel, but kisses like the devil. She makes my heart race just by smiling at
me."
I couldn't breathe.
He turned his gaze back
to her then. "And I don't care if you believe me or not. As long as Laney
does, that's what matters."
Lord, she was going to
kill him. No one ever spoke to Granny
like that. Ever. A cackling laugh rang out and I hunted for the source. No one
was there but us and Granny...
Wait. What
just happened?
My jaw dropped and I
gaped at them both. Maybe aliens abducted my Granny, and this was just a Granny
look-alike. Yeah, that had to be it. There's no way he told her off and she
laughed about it. Jake smiled at her and brought my hand up to his lips. I
pulled my hand away from him and pinched myself. Hard. This had to be a dream.
No other explanation made sense.
"Would I be
correct in saying that you do not
find my granddaughter defective in any way then, young man?" Granny
questioned him again. Like a dog with a bone, she wouldn't give up until she's
gnawed it beyond recognition.
"Defective?"
His eyes searched mine. "Why would I find Laney defective?"
My eyes filled with
tears. "Because Austin did. I wasn't enough. My boobs weren't enough. Our
sex life wasn't enough."
"Oh, honey."
He reached for me. Pulling me into his lap in that lone chair, he kissed me.
Soft warm lips met mine. His tongue coaxed my mouth open so that he could
deepen the kiss.
"My brother is a
damn fool."

The last five years have been tough. At times, near impossible.
Cleaning up his life and making something of his club takes all of Sean’s
time and attention. There is absolutely no room in his plans for relationships.
Even if he were looking for someone to share his life with, it wouldn’t be a
sweet, naïve woman he could almost be arrested for looking at. No matter how
good she feels in his arms.
When Talia finds herself in a desperate situation with an abusive
guy, she definitely doesn’t expect the handsome owner of Garden to be her
savior. Sean is older, covered in tattoos, and the furthest thing from
acceptable to her straight-laced parents. After so many years of doing what
everyone else says, Talia steps up and goes for what she wants--despite Sean's hang
up over her age.
No matter how hard he's tried to keep his distance, Sean can’t
ignore the primal urge to protect Talia when her life is in danger. He learns
just how far he will go to save the woman who has come to mean everything to
him—even if it means facing his past head on.
Can their love survive when the past resurfaces?
Excerpt
:
Sean
tried to call Talia for the sixth time that week.
"This
is Talia, you know what to do." But
obviously she didn't or she'd answer her damn phone!
He
hung up without leaving a message. He'd left messages earlier in the week. Sent
a couple texts. No response. She was still pissed. But damn it, she'd kissed
him. He wanted to explain himself. Explain his reasons for pushing her away.
But she wouldn't answer his call.
Again.
Sean
pulled his arm back to sling the damn phone at the wall, but he'd just have to
replace it. His hand itched for a handset to slam down. Jabbing at the
touchscreen would never satisfy like slamming a receiver down so hard the phone
rang.
Sean
tossed his phone on the table and sank down onto his couch with a sigh. One
kiss and he acted like a lovesick puppy. Frustrated the hell out of him. He was
a grown-ass man who should have better control over himself than that. Maybe it was a side effect of two years of
self-imposed celibacy, you idiot.
Not
dating for five years while he got the club going seemed like a good plan.
Until a beautiful, soft woman pressed her lips to his. He never should have
kissed her back. He should've shoved her away the moment she stepped between
his legs.
Should
have, but didn't.
Oh,
no, he pulled her tight to his chest and kissed her until they both gasped for
air and he thought his lungs might collapse from lack of oxygen. Then he'd
moved to that delectable throat, savoring the feel of her pulse beneath his
lips. He'd marked her, leaving evidence of their passion on her pale skin. He'd
thoroughly enjoyed her soft curves pressed against—
He had
to get out of this apartment.
He
hardened just thinking about that one little kiss. Okay, not so little, but he
had to find something to occupy his time before he lost what was left of his
mind. Sean grabbed his keys, snatched up his phone, and hurried out the door
before he put his fist through the wall. He had no plan beyond finding
something—anything—to keep his mind off Talia.
He had
no business imagining kissing her. No business remembering the feel of her
against his chest. He'd done time. Ex-cons like him did not date fresh-faced
twenty-year-old college girls like Talia. Regardless of how fucking good she
felt. Or how perfectly she fit in his arms.
He got
in his car and drove. It wasn't until he'd crossed over the bridge at the lake
that he realized where his subconscious was trying to send him—Talia's house.
He pulled into the marina parking lot and cursed his stupid self. Banging his
head on the steering wheel, he tried to knock some sense into his stubborn
head. The sooner he convinced himself Talia was off-limits, the better off he'd
be.
He
walked down the beach and came to that rock they'd cuddled on that night that
seemed so long ago. Losing himself on a sandy beach would be a hell of a lot
better than falling in love with a girl he couldn't have. A girl he'd shared
only a single kiss with. A girl he could see himself growing old with. Fuck.
This wasn't helping.
He
jogged back to his car. The beach used to be a good distraction, but now held
memories of Talia. He didn't need to be somewhere that gave him more reason to
think of her.
Pulling
back onto the road, Sean headed to the gym. Several rounds with a punching bag
exhausted his body, but did little to quiet the stream of memories. He went
home and showered, but the loneliness of his apartment ate at him.
He
headed back out. Maybe he could find a new book. A new distraction to keep him
from the thoughts that threatened to devour him. He couldn't keep doing this.
Talia deserved better than him, and he wasn't sure he had the willpower to keep
resisting her. Getting her off his mind became his top priority.
He
deleted her number from his phone. But it didn't matter. He'd memorized it the
day she gave it to him. A tiny slip of a woman had him tied in knots.
As a busy mother of five,
Allie sneaks time to write between breakfast and tickles. Always a Kentucky
girl at heart, she currently makes her home near Nashville.
