TODAY. TOMORROW. FOREVER.

A love that was never meant to be broken.

A pledge that bonded two souls.

A vow that was meant to last a thousand lifetimes.

A lie that destroyed everything in its wake.

A lie that shattered our love.

A lie that ruined our souls.

A lie that broke our vows.

Or so we thought.

Broken promises were never our thing, but how do we overcome a lie that has been our reality for the past ten years?

How do we see, Beneath the Lies?

EXCERPT

I swear I had just closed my eyes when there was a loud pounding at my front door. “What the fuck?” I mumble as I rub my eyes from sleep and check the time, four in the god damn morning. When the pounding intensifies, I quickly get out of bed, grab my baseball bat by my bedroom door and make my way to my front door.

I look through the peephole, but it’s too damn dark to make out who it could be. I shake my head at what I’m about to do. “This is how the stupid blond always dies in the damn movies,” I whisper as the pounding starts up again, only louder.

I’m surprised the neighbors haven’t come out yelling yet. I grip the bat firmly in my left hand and turn the doorknob with my right. I fling it open as quickly as I can, and then with both hands, I take my swing.

“Fuck!”

“Hunter?

BLURB

I'm a car accident waiting to happen and it's only a matter of time before I crash.

Every day that passes, every second I blink, the need to drink grows.

Meetings aren’t enough.

My will power isn’t enough.

Sunnie…

The second I see her, I want to crash into her instead

But she may not be enough to kill the need

I’m trying…but I can’t try anymore.

And when Sunnie tells me something that I can’t handle?

I break.

I run away.

I sprint to the nearest watering hole.

Away from life, from responsibilities, from fear…

I’ve never been good with change. Everything is safe right now.

I’m in a bubble and I’ve kept Sunnie there too.

She wants more than that kind of life.

I don’t know how to give it to her.

Her words play on repeat in my head.

“Maybe isn’t fair for us to sacrifice the things we want if it means being together?”

If I don’t have her, I have nothing.

But you know what I do have? Addiction.

And I’m staring at the bottle.

She’s beautiful.

Just. One. Taste.

And everything will be okay.

EXCERPT

No one knows where I am. I have my phone off. I didn’t tell anyone where I was going, and I didn’t speak a word to Sunnie about it. I’m too afraid to. After all the progress I’ve made and all the steps I’ve taken, I’m starting to relapse.

I want rum.

I want it so fucking desperately it keeps me up at night. I dream about it. When I drink coffee, I find myself wishing rum were in the cup instead. I’ll settle for anything at this point. Vodka. Whiskey. Gin. I don’t care. My mouth is watering for it.

My body aches for it. My muscles hurt and spasm, and there is this constant throb in the base of my skull.

Slamming.

Pounding.

Screaming at me to give in.

I rub my temples and exhale a shaky breath. My fingers tremble around my sobriety chip as I fumble with it, twisting and flipping it in my palm.

The room fills with people, and the cheap metal chairs scrape against the floor, echoing in the wide-open space. To the left is a table topped with coffee, tea, water, and soda. To the left of the coffee maker are packets of sugar in a container and a bottle of coffee creamer.

Maybe I just need to drink something, and the craving will stop. I stand, rubbing my sweaty palms against my jeans. There are a few new faces here tonight, and they’re hovering around the beverage table, away from the regulars. Ah, I remember standing in the back, hoping to not be seen. It’ll get easier. It helps being surrounded by people with the same struggle.

I grab a Styrofoam cup and fill it halfway, adding a dash of creamer. I don’t bother stirring in it. It isn’t to wake up. It’s just to do something other than think about alcohol. I take a sip and let the hot java sear my throat, hoping like hell it burns the addiction right out of me.

A younger woman, possibly no more than eighteen, is stirring her tea next to the table. She looks like she’s seen better days. She has bright blue hair, which I think is so cool. I’ve never seen anyone pull off a color like that. She seems sad and is a bit too thin. By the track marks on her arms, I’ll say that has something to do with it.

Maybe I can introduce her to Sunnie.

“Hi, I’m Patrick.” I introduce myself to try and break the ice, showing her that we aren’t a scary bunch.

“Poppy.” Her hand meets mine in a firm shake.

I thought it would be limper, considering how she looks.

“So, what’s your vice, Poppy?” I lean against the pillar and sip the bitter coffee.

It sure the fuck doesn’t go down as smooth as rum.

“Heroin and Vodka. You?” She lifts her eyes to mine, and the dark circles take me back to the early days of recovery.

“Rum, but I drank just about anything.”

She nods as if she understands. Her eyes dart around the room. I can tell she’s feeling overwhelmed. “I don’t know if I can do this,” she admits.

“I get it, but don’t put so much pressure on yourself. You don’t have to speak, but it helps.”

“Is this your first meeting?” she stares at me, hopeful.

I snort, bringing the cup to my lips. “Try my thousandth, maybe? I don’t know. It’s up there. I don’t come much anymore because I’ve been doing better.”

She cocks her head and analyzes me. “Why are you here today?”

“Because right now, I wish this coffee was rum, and I’m this close,” I hold my finger and thumb barely apart, “this fucking close, to saying fuck everything just to get a drink.”

AUTHOR BIO

K.L. Savage decided they were tired of looking for the kind of books they wanted to read. They had an itch that needed to be scratched, and as every girl knows, nothing scratches better than an alpha.

They write about gritty, alpha males, sometimes their dark sides, and the women they love.

If you have the same itch, their alpha males should fix that.

BLURB

Just when you think you have it all, everything changes...

I had everything a kid could want.

A home. Food. Toys. Friends. Loving parents.

And it all equaled happiness.

Then my life went up in smoke.

Happiness no longer existed.

I trusted the wrong person.

And in a blink of an eye, the cruelty of the world reared its ugly head.

Four walls. Darkness.

Memory loss.

Chains.

Sex.

My first love.

And people watching in the corners.

Now, I'm conditioned.

I need to watch.

I need to be watched.

No one understands the turmoil inside me.

And the one person who seems to calm it?

Ruby Raine.

A little spitfire of a woman who released the strife I've been swallowing for eighteen years.

She made me realize how weak I was and how strong I needed to be.

To tackle my demons, I have to admit everything.

I have to trust and that's one thing that doesn't come easy for me.

Ruby shows me it's okay to let go, to let someone steer for a bit, to give up a little control.

So I let go. I let her have the reins.

The road is bumpy, a minefield of explosives with her debt and my pain.

Every chance she takes on me is a step I take to better myself.

Love is a surprise.

A dart that Ruby tossed, and it hit me in the middle of my chest.

Unleashing… everything.

I'm my own target. If there's one thing I can do, it's aim.

Everyone’s room has a little history.

Where is his?

I tiptoe to the dresser. Pause. I cut a glance back to the door as if I’m about to get caught, but nothing’s there. After a minute, I continue. I open one drawer and roll my eyes.

Socks.

All mismatched.

“Of course,” I mumble.

I close that drawer and open the next.

Oh. Underwear.

Sexy underwear. None of that saggy Fruit of the Loom shit, but Grade-A nut hugging undies. I hold one up, and it feels like spandex. It has to be some type of stretchy material. Damn, I bet he looks so good in these as they cling to every curve.

Imagining them stretched over his tree trunk thighs, suctioning over his cock, and pulled taut over his plump ass like a second skin.

“God bless the woman who made this man,” I say silently to God, or whoever’s idea it was to make such a fine specimen.

I keep the drawer open because I’m nowhere near done with it. I want to see what else he has in the goody forbidden drawer. “I’ll be back,” I whisper to the sexy spandex briefs. “I’ll miss you.”

My knees pop as I squat to open the last drawer, and what I find surprises me.

It’s empty.

I tap my hand around the drawer, and the back end pops. I freeze. Oh, shit. I’m about to find something I’m not supposed to see. That was the point. This was what I wanted. I take a deep breath. Here it is. Here is Bullseye’s history that he keeps hidden away. Part of me feels terrible for just snooping around like this, but he left me in here, so…

With a slow, careful hand, I take out the board, ready for whatever surprises might be waiting for me. My imagination runs wild—maybe it’s photos of him and his lovers. Maybe it’s a secret stash of mementos. Maybe it’s… oh.

It’s nothing.

Just a bunch of cash and darts. That’s disappointing. I frown and dig around, even more, trying to find a dirty secret, but that’s all I see. Just stacks of cash and some of his darts. Nothing that tells me about Bullseye’s history. I’m coming up empty-handed.

“What are you doing?”

I scream, then hold my hand to my chest when I hear Bullseye’s voice. I look up to see him standing in the doorway, arms crossed and staring at me. “Uh, I’m snooping,” I answer honestly.

His eyes drop to my chest, and that’s when I remember I’m still holding a pair of sexy undies. I’m holding them close since he scared me.

“Need some underwear, Spitfire?” he tsks, walking into the room and shutting the door. “Cash? Both?”

“No.” I toss the underwear in the drawer they belong in and close it, then close the secret cash drawer. “I wanted to find something personal, I guess.”

“Disappointed that you didn’t?” He takes a seat on the bed, and the springs groan from his weight.

“A little bit.” I take the spot next to him and evaluate his face. His eyes are red, as if he’s been crying. A few things start to click together. He doesn’t have anything personal in his room because everything he deems personal, he keeps close to his heart.

So if I want him, if I want to get to know him, I have to earn him.

This is the eleventh book in this series. They are better read in order. These guys pull at my heart strings. Every time I think they couldn’t have been through anything worse than the guy before him, I am proved wrong. Bullseye went through something horrible. He can’t remember his early life before age 8. Now his diagnosis of diabetes is causing him to feel more out of control. Ruby Raine finds herself in debt and needs to find a way to pay it off. Mateo has a proposition for Ruby to help with her debt. Ruby and Bullseye have been dancing around each other for months. Now they are going to take a chance and see where things go. Bullseye has his own deal with Mateo. He isn’t crazy about Ruby’s deal with Mateo. This book was an awesome read. I loved it so much. I can’t say enough about how much I feel for Bullseye. Ruby is an amazing woman. She helps him ways he didn’t think possible. These guys are there for each other no matter what. They will be there for Bullseye when he finally tells them about his past. There are some fantastic twists and turns in this book. I can’t recommend it enough. I can’t wait for the next book in this series. Fantastic job KL Savage.

Runa Brandon is naïve and uncertain, and she has been taken advantage of more than once. After disentangling herself from an abusive relationship, Runa begins a new life in Departure Cove, Oregon. Her mother, Asta, believes Departure Cove holds too many secrets that are better left buried, including the identity of Runa’s father.

What Runa doesn’t know is that she is part of a long line of women, blessed with inexplicable gifts, and drawn to the power of the sea. As Runa uncovers the astounding secrets of her family tree, she also comes to realize there is more to her husband than meets the eye.

“I will not leave you, Mother. I must stay.” Helga cried as she gripped her mother’s hand. “Take this. It is your legacy. It will keep you safe.” Else removed the Ansuz rune necklace from her own neck and placed it around Helga’s. “I can’t leave you,” Helga sobbed as she fondled the pendant with her fingers. “I’m not long for this world. You must go.” Else’s beautiful blue eyes were wild with determination. “Do you have it?” “The book?” “Yes. That book is all we have left. Guard it with your life.” “Why is the book so important, Mother?” “It tells our story. You will add yours to its pages. Continue our legacy.” “Yes, Mother,” Helga nodded as she sobbed. “My blessed daughter, I am at peace because you will survive.” “How can you be sure? Have you seen it in a vision?” “I have seen it clearly,” Else answered with a smile. “Where will I go?” “That I have not seen. But one thing I know for certain— no matter where you go, you will always be min datter av havet.” “Your daughter of the sea,” Helga repeated.
