About The Clover Chapel:
She took a dare and fell in love. Truth would have been the
smarter choice.
After years of living under her father’s thumb, Emmeline is
ready to break free. She’s abandoned her life as a New York socialite to follow
her dream of becoming a kindergarten teacher in a small, wholesome town. Seeing
the man that nearly broke her was absolutely not what she had hoped to find in
Prescott, Montana.
Nick hasn’t seen his Emmy in nine years, but that doesn’t
mean he’s forgotten a thing about the woman he loves. After just one blissful
night as man and wife, he gave her up, sacrificing his own happiness to keep
her safe—far away from him. But the moment she walks back into his lonely life
is the moment he decides never to let her go again. He won’t waste his second
chance. All he has to do is win back Emmeline’s heart, keep her safe from the
shadows in his past and prove to her that taking a wager on him is a sure bet.
Excerpt:
“I want a chance,” Nick said.
“A chance for what?” I asked.
“A chance to start again.”
My mouth fell open. Was he serious? “What? Why?”
“You asked me back then if I believed in fate. I didn’t until I met
you. And I’ve spent nine years thinking I’d never see your face again. But fate
brought you back into my life and I’m not going to mess it up again.”
I struggled to swallow the lump in my throat and speak. “You left me.”
“Please believe I did it for a good reason. And not a day has gone by
when I haven’t regretted it.” He stroked the side of my trapped hand with his
thumb.
“Why?” My eyes filled with tears the second the word passed my lips.
“I promise I’ll explain. Just not tonight,” he said.
My heart sank and I sagged into the heavily padded bench seat. This
was his test and he had failed miserably. I didn’t want a deflection, a promise
to explain later. He could disappear tomorrow for another nine years for all I
knew.
“No,” I said. “No chances. You could have found me. You could have
explained. You’ve lost your chance.”
His jaw clenched and the muscle on his forehead twitched. If he
actually thought a couple of sweet sentences—which lacked an apology, I might add—would
have me falling all over him again, he was sorely mistaken.
“I stayed away from you because I figured you would have moved on. But
you’re not happy. I can see it plain as day. Give me a chance?”
I looked to the table. “No. I want a divorce.”
“You won’t get one.”
“What?” I gasped, my eyes snapping up to his.
“No divorce. I’ll contest it.”
“Do you really think challenging me and my legal team is a good idea,
Nick? You’ll be wasting both our time and money.”
“I don’t care. I’ll do whatever it takes.”
“Is this about my money? Is that what you want? Then fine. Name your
price. Just let me go.”
“It’s not about your fucking money. It never was. But I’m not letting
you go until I get my chance.”
