Captivate (Brooklet Dreams Book 2) Read online

  “That sounds perfect. I just don’t want you waking up one day and regretting that choice.”

  “I would never regret time with you or with our children.” And with that, she placed her hand over mine, where they rested on her stomach. The smile on her face told me all I needed to know. This was what she wanted, and I would give her anything to see that smile on her face.

  Book Three

  Chapter One

  Chloe

  My hands shook, and I gripped my arrangement of lilies that I held in my hand just a little tighter. Just to my left was Landon in his tux. In a few seconds, I would be forced to link my arm with his and walk down the aisle. All while trying not to trip, faint, or maybe even vomit on the guests or my cowboy boots.

  Each of the bridesmaids wore their favorite pair of boots and a pale purple dress that hit just above the knee. Maddison’s wedding dress bore the same color of purple in a sash across her stomach that formed a bow at her back.

  All the men wore suits, the very same purple in the form of a bow tie.

  Maddison loved purple.

  “You ready?” My body tensed when Landon spoke near my ear, that deep country boy drawl that made me want to do nothing more than listen to him talk for hours.

  I didn’t turn to look at him but instead nodded my head as I reached out and linked my arm in his. His warmth reminded me of the moment he held me close after I’d left Maddison’s hospital room for the first time.

  The music played, the guests smiled, and all I could do was concentrate on not falling on my face.

  “You’re trembling,” he whispered.

  “I’m nervous.” You make me nervous.

  “Why?” Because I’m touching you, you’re talking to me, and I threw myself at you only to be rejected. “I won’t let you fall, Chloe.”

  I looked at him. God damn it, why did I do that?

  It all happened so fast: he smiled, I stumbled, and then I was falling forward. I closed my eyes tight, bracing myself for impact, when I was hooked by the waist, spun around, and looked up into the sweetest brown eyes I’d ever seen.

  “I told you I wouldn’t let you fall, sweetheart.” And I was a mess. Didn’t he understand that it was too late? I’d already fallen.

  Acknowledgements

  THE CHARMED GIRLS, YOU ARE all amazing. The continued support you show me is something I will never be able to express just how much it means to me. Thank you all for sharing my work and for just being you. You are all the greatest bunch of ladies.

  To Eric Battershell & Quinn Biddle, the image you’ve created couldn’t have been better for Captivate. It fits my character to perfection.

  Thank you, Lydia, because you are a true friend and motivator, always making me laugh and smile. We are an amazing team, and your friendship means the world. Thank you for being one of my biggest cheerleaders.

  Beta Team, you know who you are. Thank you all so very much for tak-ing this journey with me. Your feedback and encouraging words along the way made this story mean so much. Without you all, it would be what it is now.

  To my husband and children, thank you for being the best part of my days. For tolerating me when I get lost in the world of fiction and under-standing that sometimes dinner may be a little late. Jayden and Tayler, no matter how many books I write, you two will always be my best crea-tions.

  My readers, I am always so humbled by your support. Those random messages I received after you read my books, whether it be something big or small, I truly love them. Hearing what you think, in my eyes, is one of the greatest things about releasing a new book. I am never too busy for you.
