Disgrace, an all-new romantic and emotional standalone from Brittainy C. Cherry is available NOW!
Each day I prayed for my husband to love me again.
After fifteen years together, he walked away from me, and into the arms of another.
I didn’t know how to cope. I didn’t know my worth. I didn’t know how to exist without him by my side.
All I wanted was for him to come back to me.
Then, Jackson Emery appeared.
He was supposed to be a distraction for my mind. A summer fling. A confidence boost to my bruised heart.
We were perfect for one another, because we both knew we wouldn’t last. Jackson didn’t believe in commitment, and I no longer believed in love. He was too closed-off for me, and I was too damaged for him.
Everything was fine, until one night my heart skipped a beat.
I didn’t expect him to make me laugh. To make me think. To make my sadness somewhat disappear.
When our time was up, my heart didn’t know how to walk away.
Each day I prayed for my husband to love me again, yet slowly my prayers began to shift toward the man who wasn’t right for me.
I prayed for one more smile, one more kiss, one more laugh, one more touch…
I prayed for him to be mine.
Even though I knew his heart wasn’t destined to love.

EXCERPT:
Jackson
“I’ve read about boys like you in books, ya know,” she whispered, her fingers slowly spinning spirals on my chest.
“Oh, yeah? What did those books teach you about boys like me?”
“Well…” She bit her bottom lip, and with a small inhalation, she whispered, “They taught me to stay away.”
“Then why are you so close?”
She tilted her head up, looking me straight in the eyes. “Because in those stories, the heroine never ever listens.”
"And then there’s trouble?” I asked.
“Yes, and then there’s trouble.”
From the way she said those words, I knew trouble was exactly what she was in search of. We were the classic cliché. She was the good girl next door, I the monster from around the block. We were perfect opposites for the perfect storm, and she was asking me to be her next flaw, her greatest mistake.
And, well, who was I not to live up to her request?
“I could destroy you,” I warned.
“Or save me.”
“Is it worth the risk?”
“Isn’t it always worth the risk?”
The more she touched me, the more I wanted to touch her back. I wrapped my hands around her wrists flipping us around so she was now against the wall with her hands above her head. “I have rules.” I leaned in closer, lightly brushing my lips against her neck. God, she smelled good, like peaches and my next sin. “You can’t break these rules, either.” My tongue rolled from my mouth and circled against her neck before I gently sucked her skin.
She shivered at my touch. “What are they?”
“Rule one,” I whispered, my mouth moving across her collarbone. “You never stay the night.”
“Check.”
“Rule number two,” I said, dropping her left arm to the side. Taking my hand to the bottom of her blouse, I slowly raised it up and massaged her skin. “You never develop feelings.”
“That’s easy enough,” she replied, her breaths uneven as I teased at the top button on her jeans. “I don’t believe in feelings anymore.”
I didn’t know why, but that made me sad for her. I, too, didn’t believe in falling for people, but that was my norm. Grace seemed the type to believe in something bigger than love, so the fact that her belief was completely gone was a bit surprising.
Maybe we had more in common than I thought.
“Rule number three…we don’t talk about my life.”
“Like ever?”
“Never.”
“Okay.”
“And lastly, rule number four…” My mouth brushed against hers, and I slid my tongue slowly across her bottom lip. “If your favorite pair of panties get ripped, don’t expect me to replace them.”
This book has my emotions all over the place. The to main characters Grace and Jackson have been or going through so much. Grace Harris is dealing with her husband leaving her and finding out he cheated on her as well. So Things weren't going so well for her. Then she was moving home back home for the summer. People in Chester weren't the easiest people to be around. They gossip about everyone even if you are part of what Chester call there Royal's. Which Grace was part of her mother who was was the Pasters wife but was high on society knew everything about everyone. So find out her daughter was back in town and not with her husband was just not goinh to work. This woman have me a massive headache throughout the book. She is so horrible at times my heart breaks for Grace. The only person she has is her sister Judy. Until she gets to know Jackson Emery.
Jackson Emery is the black sheep in Chester. Him and his dad are just not good enough to be there. The people are just so mean to them. Jackson hasn't had it easy living in Chester even at a young age he has to deal with crap. Know he is running his dad garage and dealing with a drunk father. I did feeling so sorry for him and understand why he is cold. People don't want him to fit in there lil town people judge him and they have no right. They don't even know him they just listen to gossip and rumours. So Jackson gives them what they want. He is cold horrible and he takes what woman offer him. But when he has to help Grace Harris out things start to change from him. Well feelings anyway. He has hated Harris's nearly all his life and Grace being part of that family wasn't good. But he judged Grace just like people did him. Grace and her sister aren't like there mother and he soon found out she wasn't.
This story was so good. I read it in a day I couldn't put it down. I needed to know how things were going to go for Grace and Jackson. When things started to go well for one of them something then would go wrong, they didn't get a break. I did really like how Grace didn't let Jackson go even when he was being his worst she stuck by him and didn't care what people said about him or her for being is friend or more. Seeing Jackson become more open was great cause he was so closed of did know how to talk or open up to people. He never let anyone in it was his dad and uncle Alex. But Grace worked her way into his life and once she was in she wouldn't move. I did love how protective they were of each other. They were so cute together when Jackson finally let his walls down. It's not something up would call him but together they were people. They mite come across very different but deep down they were the same.
I would highly recommend this book. Like I said I couldn't put it down and I was on an emotional rollercoaster from the start, but I loved it. The twists in the story were so good and it just made the story even better. The characters were so good. I loved some but hated others. I just loved Jackson and Grace they were perfect. I m a big fan of this author I love her writing she always get a few tears out of me with her heart breaking stories. Her books just keep getting better and better.
