Agonizing Desire (The Upper Hand #1)

Melanie

I had it all; family, friends, career and a man I thought I’d spend the rest of my life with. But that all changed, when he chose a new job in a city across the globe over me. He didn’t allow me the time to scrutinize the possibility of moving with him. He just took off as though I was an afterthought.

Months later, I realized that I was just an afterthought. I was readily available to him and I wasn’t an important enough aspect in his life to be a priority. He was up for anything that benefited him and when it didn’t, he was gone with the wind.

I deserved better.

Joel showed me as much until my past came back to haunt us and soil our relationship.

Joel

I’m not a stalker—I promise, but my infatuation with Melanie for years was agonizing. My desire for her was daunting. The timing was always off when it came to approaching her and making a go at it. Then I had my opportunity and I ran with it, full throttle.

The chance was revitalizing until her past reared its ugly head and tried to destroy what we were building.

We deserved more.
