Surrender To Me by Monica James
Blurb:
Ava Thompson left her
one true love, Jasper White, to unearth her destiny. It was the only way for
Ava to grow into the woman she’s always wanted to become.
Sadly, that destiny has
led her back to the place that broke her … Singapore.
And more importantly,
it has led her back to the man who broke her … Harper.
Ava is no longer the
scared, lost girl she once was. She is stronger and determined to accomplish
her dreams in order to find happiness. Hopefully, at the end of it all, she
will return into the loving arms of Jasper White.
Six months later, Ava
travels back to Los Angeles for an event that embraces the true meaning of
love. Sadly for Ava, her meaning of true love has been lost.
Los Angeles is not how
Ava left it. Things have changed. People have changed. She has changed.
However, what has remained untouched is her passionate love for Jasper White.
But does Jasper feel
the same?

Pulling back and
shaking my head, in hopes of knocking some sense into my lust-filled brain, I
whisper, “You’re drunk, Jasper.”
Jasper smiles, but it’s a sad smile.
His eyes focus on mine as he confesses, “I’m drunk on you. You’re my poison, Ava, and I don’t know how to stop consuming you.”
A breath catches in my throat as words that should be interpreted harshly, aren’t at all perceived that way. I don’t know how to reply, so I don’t. I close my eyes and take five steadying breaths.
One.
Two.
Three.
Four.
Five.
Reopening my eyes, I see that I’m alone.
Peering up at Jasper’s house, I witness him turning back towards my car from his front door. The porch light reflects off his beautiful face, and his expression is mirroring mine. And that expression is one I have been trying so hard to keep at bay, but sadly have been failing at.
That expression is one of submission and surrender.
We both surrender.
And that fact scares the living shit out of me.
Excerpt
He inches his face towards mine, and I too edge forward,
so not in control of my actions right now, because kissing him is the only
thing I can think of. But then I remember he’s drunk, and this kiss will be
meaningless in the morning.
Jasper smiles, but it’s a sad smile.
His eyes focus on mine as he confesses, “I’m drunk on you. You’re my poison, Ava, and I don’t know how to stop consuming you.”

Enter Jasper White.
Unbeknown to Ava, he
will change her life forever.
The attraction is

is finding resisting Jasper—with his tousled bedroom hair and piercing cerulean
eyes—harder than she ever imagined. That’s because Jasper knows what he wants …
and he wants her.
Can Ava surrender to
her feelings for the one man who compels her to love again? What happens if
love isn’t enough?
