Inked duet

Love is never easy. Especially when three hearts are involved. JonasMy heart shattered the day my best friend married her soulmate. A man I will always envy.Cora was never meant to be mine. But I never understood the reason why. Until now.Until Autumn. When I enter the tattoo shop, Autumn is the last person I expect. A woman who garners my attention.A beaming star in my dark sky. A woman who soothes my soul and glues my broken pieces back together. For the first time in years, I picture no one except Autumn in my arms. And I plan to make it a reality. AutumnMy heart learned envy on my friend's wedding day. She married her soulmate, but also enraptured another man.Not getting romantically involved with anyone is my fate. The hand life dealt me. A notion I came to terms with years ago. But all that gets thrown to the wayside the day I meet him.Jonas. The night Jonas sits in my chair, I forget how to breathe. Forget how to do anything except smile.He kickstarts my heart and teaches it a new rhythm. A rhythm I memorize and play on repeat. For the first time in years, I throw all my reasons for staying single out the window. For once, I trust life has given me another chance at love. …until the past comes knocking on my door.

Love is most glorious. Love also rips you apart. JonasWhen I woke this morning, I didn't expect this. For Autumn's past to step in and rip away everything I love. Autumn asks for patience, but with each passing day, she slips farther from my grasp. I refuse to lose Autumn or Clementine. Not to him. Not to anyone.They are my girls. Always. As the picture perfect life I envision with them slowly fades, the pain beneath my sternum grows more powerful.Each passing day, my chest tightens at the loss of them. I never imagined I would discover the love of my life, only to lose her. AutumnWhen I woke this morning, I never saw this coming. My ex storming back into my life and threatening to steal everything I hold precious. Not just my daughter, but also my livelihood. And I refuse to let him do either. Until this ends, I must let go of my newfound selfishness and focus solely on Clementine.Until this ends, I must forget about love. Temporarily. When I memorized Jonas's heartbeat, I had no idea I would need to recall it in my lonely bed so soon.I had no idea my heart would ache so profusely in his absence. I have never known pain like this. And I have never been so torn. …hopefully, our love will survive the storm. USA Today Bestselling Author Persephone Autumn lives in Florida with her wife, crazy dog, and two lover-boy cats.
