Blurb: Angry and jealous. That’s the perfect way to describe Jason Parker.
After feeling that way for so long Jason’s had enough. He’s starting to hate
who he's become and his perfect facade is cracking. Jason’s blaming everyone
but himself, he’s lashing out and the only thing that matters is numbing his
own pain, doubt, and guilt.
In the aftermath of betraying his step-brother, again, Jason slowly begins to see that no one is perfect and you can’t be alone. He’s pushed his family away and used people, mostly women, to make himself feel better. If people let him walk all over them, why shouldn’t he? That’s always been his attitude but maybe it’s not right.

That’s always been his attitude but maybe it’s not right.
When his step-brother’s ex-girlfriend shows up, Jason can't deny the
pull he feels toward her. His one steamy night with her as a teenager pushed
him toward the downward spiral he’s been on. He knows he should keep his
distance. But he can’t seem to stay away from the pretty brunette.
Corinne's changed since they were seventeen. She's no longer the spoiled brat out to be arm candy like her mother taught her. She sees something in Jason. Something he desperately wants to believe is real. When she pushes him to be better, he falls for her. His feelings for her are strong and he can’t ignore them forever. Once he gives in he gives it his all. He can only hope everyone is ready to see the real Jason Parker.
Anger, betrayal, jealousy, and love. Jason and Corinne are only letting one shine through.

Excerpt: “I doubt that’s true, honey. What
happened with the girl you were dating last year?”
A harsh laugh that
sounded a little more like a growl came from Blake’s spot across the table at
the same time Tess gasped. Jason finally dared to raise his eyes and take them
in. I should’ve stayed away. He was
ruining something without even trying.
Blake moved his arm
around Tess’ shoulders in a wholly possessive gesture. Tess just stared at him
with wide eyes while he scrambled to come up with something to say to his mom
that wouldn’t sound horrible and wouldn’t be a lie.
The tension around the
table didn’t go unnoticed by David, though. He looked back and forth between
the two sides of the table with narrowed eyes. He opened his mouth to speak as
his gaze landed on Jason. His heart sank and he swallowed thickly. Admitting
what an ass he’d been in front of his mom and one of the best men he knew but
had also ignored wasn’t on his list of things to do.
Jason jumped when the
doorbell rang.
“I’ll get it.” He stood
quickly from his seat at the table and practically ran from the dining room.
His quick steps echoed in the entry way and he heard murmurs behind him.
When he swung the door
open and saw a petite brunette, he’d never been happier or more relieved. He
breathed out harshly and gazed into Corinne’s hazel eyes. She smiled unsurely
at him.
“Thank God you’re here.”
The words slipped from his lips without thought but they were real. He felt his
cheeks warm. When her eyes widened and a startled look settled on her face, he
decided since he was making a complete ass of himself, he might as well do what
he’d wanted to do since seeing her on the porch.
Jason reached out and
pulled Corinne into his arms, wrapping her up tightly, pressing her against
him, and breathing her in. His body relaxed and he finally felt like he was
able to breathe normally. She laughed lightly and hugged him back.
“And I thought this would
be awkward,” she mumbled against his chest.
