To the Stars (Thatch #2)by Molly McAdams
Publisher: William Morrow Paperbacks
Release Date: February 9th 2016
Synopsis:
In the second book in New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Molly McAdams’ Thatch series, Knox Alexander must convince his long-time love Harlow Evans that they’re meant to be together.
He promised to wait for her.
She told him he was wasting his time.
Not waiting for him ended up being the biggest mistake of her life.
When they were younger, Knox Alexander swore to Harlow Evans that he would wait for her to turn eighteen so they could be together. But that was three and a half years away, and Harlow couldn’t ask him to give up all the fun and thrills of going away to college for her. As the years passed, Knox remained a constant in her life—whether she liked it or not—but when her eighteenth birthday came around, Harlow’s heart belonged to someone else.
Every day for the last four years, Harlow has been haunted by that fateful choice. And though he may appear unaffected by what happened in their past, Knox has always tried to fill the void Harlow left. But when he comes stumbling back into her life and refuses to leave, will Harlow finally let him into her heart…?
Despite the
glimpse of the Collin I’d once loved, it only ended up being that—a glimpse.
Over the next forty minutes I messed up too many times, and Collin’s anger with
me continued to grow. I knew I could have done a better job at being the wife
Collin thought I should be; I just couldn’t concentrate.
I could feel
Knox’s eyes on me, and it was too easy to turn and find him. But I was
terrified that if I looked at him, Collin would notice. Forcing myself to look
away from what my soul reached for was draining and taking every ounce of focus
I had. I knew I needed to get it together, I needed to start impressing Collin
even; but Knox was there. There. As
was Collin. And both were incredibly pissed-off. The only good part of the
night was that Ren had already left with a girl my age.
“You know what
I’m finding hilarious?” Collin asked as he pulled me away from the latest
couple we’d been speaking with, his lips brushing my ear. “It seems like for
the past hour I’ve had to convince people you love me. You’re holding yourself
stiff and away from me, you seem distracted and your responses are delayed, and
you’ve barely made eye contact with me. Now tell me, Harlow, why would I have
to convince all these people that my wife loves me? Better yet, why would I
have to try to convince myself that she still does?”
I froze. In the
years of going through all this, in the years of him having sex with someone
who couldn’t bear to look at him or take part in it, Collin had never
questioned my love for him. Dread filled me, making it feel like there were
hands gripping and twisting my stomach. His questioning something like this
would end horribly. “Collin, don’t be ridi—”
“Do not speak.”
His fingers dug into the inside of my forearm, and my mouth immediately popped
open, a harsh breath blowing past my lips. “Don’t show your pain, Harlow,” he
warned.
I snapped my
mouth shut and tried to control my expression, but I knew I wasn’t succeeding
when his fingers pressed in harder.
“Do not show
your pain,” he gritted out—his smile never wavered.
I clenched my
jaw and somehow managed to plaster a tight-lipped smile on my face.
Collin’s lips
ghosted along my neck. “Do you love me, Harlow?” His grip loosened enough to
allow me to answer.
I loathe you with every fiber of my being.
Molly grew up in California but now lives in the oh-so-amazing state of Texas with her husband and furry four-legged daughters. When she's not diving into the world of her characters, some of her hobbies include hiking, snowboarding, traveling, and long walks on the beach … which roughly translates to being a homebody with her hubby and dishing out movie quotes. She has a weakness for crude-humored movies and fried pickles, and loves curling up in a fluffy comforter during a thunderstorm ... or under one in a bathtub if there are tornados. That way she can pretend they aren't really happening.
