Thankful For Usby Ajme Williams

When I say that he broke my heart, what I really mean is that he did something that I wouldn’t do to my worst enemy.

I hate Sam Clarke.
I hate him for leaving me, and now for trying to enter back into my life.

Yes, he left me for another woman.
A woman he thought was pregnant with his baby.
He didn’t just leave me, he also decided to marry that liar.

Well, his life is ruined… and I won’t let him do the same to mine.
Being born in a wealthy family doesn’t give him the green light to come and go as he pleases.

I’ve built a new life for myself since our breakup.
I cannot allow him to waltz back into my reality and screw everything up… especially as my competitor in business.

Holiday season is the best time to show Sam that I’ve moved on.
And I’ll prove to myself that I don’t love him anymore.
I don’t… right?

Get ready for a smoking hot second chance, secret pregnancy romance with an abundance of holiday cheer. ‘Thankful for Us’ is everything you want in a Christmas book and more. It is a part of the Heart of Hope series but stands alone. Books do not have to be read in order.
