Title:
The Way We Fall
Author:
Cassia Leo
Genre:
Contemporary romance
Release
Day: February 20th
From
New York Times bestselling author Cassia Leo comes a
twisted and passionate love story that pushes the boundaries of
loyalty.
Maybe we shouldn’t have fallen so fast and so willingly.
Maybe we shouldn’t have moved in together before we went on our first date.
Maybe we should have given our wounds time to heal before we tore each other to shreds.
Maybe we should have never been together.
Houston has kept a devastating secret from Rory since the day he took her into his home. But the tragic circumstances that brought them together left wounds too deep to heal.
Five years after the breakup, Houston and Rory are thrust together by forces beyond their control. And all the resentments and passion return with more intensity than ever.
Once
again, Houston is left with a choice between the truth and the only
girl he’s ever loved.
The
Way We Fall is the first book in The Story of Us Series, which
follows the tumultuous love story of Rory and Houston. The sequel,
The Way We Break, will be released Spring 2015.
Available
for $0.99 only during preorder and for the first 48 hours after
release.
“I need to talk to you about the work situation,” he says as he follows me out. “I got the contract, but I want to make sure you’re okay with this before I sign it.”
“You
want to know if I’ll be okay working with you?”
I
slide the key into the doorknob and Houston places his hand over mine
to stop me from turning the knob. “I can’t go in there with you.
Please stay out here until we’re done talking.”
I
shake his hand off and turn around to face him. “There’s nothing
to talk about. You have to sign the contract. The way I feel about
working with you shouldn’t matter.”
“But
it does matter. I don’t want to upset you. You were there
first.”
I
can’t help but laugh. “So this is a territorial thing? You think
because I was there first that I have some sort of right to keep you
out?” His left eyebrow shoots up the way it always does when he’s
confused and it nearly renders me mute. “Houston, if I didn’t
work there you wouldn’t think twice about signing that contract. So
that’s what you should do. Just… please stop making this into
something it isn’t. We hardly know each other anymore, and that’s
the way it’s going to remain.”
He
swallows hard as he lets this sink in. “I guess you’re right. I’m
sorry I bothered you. I only wanted to… Never mind. I’ll get
going. I have to get up early to go sign that contract. Not that you
care.”
He
shakes his head in disappointment as he walks away and I’m glad I
don’t have anything solid in my hand other than Skippy’s leash or
I might throw it at the back of his head. So I’m the one who
doesn’t care? Ugh. Typical Houston and his endless
psychological games.
Maybe
I should have told him to walk away from the contract, but that would
have meant admitting that he still has a strong hold over me. It also
would have been the truth and the truth has never gotten me into
trouble. In fact, the truth is something my previous relationship
with Houston was sorely lacking.
Nevertheless,
I don’t need to right the wrongs we made while we were together. I
don’t need to tell Houston that the sight of him makes my throat
dry and my stomach flutter. He doesn’t need to know that I still go
to sleep with scenes from our life together playing on repeat in my
mind. Or that sometimes I wake up with his name tumbling from my
lips, the remnants of dreams where he never left and nightmares where
he hovers just out of reach.
Before
Wednesday, the last time I had seen Houston was the day after he met
me at the Planned Parenthood clinic. I didn’t ask him to come, and
I don’t know how he found the date and time of my appointment, but
he was there when we pulled into the parking lot. Lisa, a girl from
my Social Inequality class whom I’d had coffee with a couple of
times, had graciously agreed to take me to the clinic. The moment I
saw him leaning against his truck, I knew I had to send Lisa home.
Houston would insist on taking me back to the apartment after the
procedure, to watch over me.
It
was the last thing I wanted, to have Houston doting over me after
terminating the pregnancy. But it was also the only thing I wanted.
It was as if he was performing the last rites on our dead
relationship.
