About My True Love:
Can a man who resents the hand he’s been dealt and a woman who spends her days grateful for every little thing find true love in each other’s arms—or are their differences stronger than both of them? Find out in this funny, sexy, heartfelt romance, and fall in love with Grant and Jules on the sandy shores of Silver Island, home to coffee shops, boat races, and midnight rendezvous. Even war heroes need a little help sometimes... After spending years fighting for his country and too damn long learning to navigate life with a prosthetic leg, Grant Silver returns to Silver Island to figure out a future he couldn’t fathom without fatigues and a gun in his hand. He’d almost forgotten how a man could suffocate from the warmth and caring community in which he’d grown up, and if that weren’t bad enough, his buddies’ beautiful and far-too-chipper younger sister won’t stop flitting into his life, trying to sprinkle happy dust everywhere she goes. As a cancer survivor, Jules Steele knows better than to count on seeing tomorrow. She doesn't take a single moment for granted, and she isn’t about to let a man who used to be charming and full of life waste the future he’s been blessed with. She's determined to get through to him, even if it takes a few steamy kisses…

Jules wasn’t a
prude, but she was a virgin. She’d dated guys here and there, and she’d fooled
around, running the bases, before realizing that most guys were simply unremarkable. She’d never felt the type
of explosive chemistry and unstoppable lust their older sisters talked about to
make her want to go all the way. Until Grant came back to the island and set
her hormones on overdrive. What no one else knew, including Bellamy, was that
every time they were in close proximity, sparks flew and she had an unrelenting
desire to touch and be touched by him. It didn’t matter that the ex–covert
operations specialist was eight years her senior and one of her brothers’ best
friends, that he’d been injured last year, resulting in a below-the-knee
amputation of his left leg, or that he’d only begrudgingly returned to the
island over the summer. She’d known Grant all her life, she liked and trusted
him, and he was the only man who had
ever lit her body on fire and caused scorching-hot dreams like the ones that
had become her nightly companion.
In fact, sparks
had flown between them when he’d been home before leaving for his last mission,
and that attraction had been simmering inside Jules for almost two years. But while she still felt the
heat between them, he’d been gruff, distant, and reclusive since coming home,
which she completely understood after all he’d been through. That didn’t change
the fact that given the chance, she’d gladly crawl between the sheets with the
handsome beast and spend an entire weekend exploring every inch of his glorious
body, letting him make all of her
dirtiest fantasies come true.
But she kept
those steamy thoughts to herself, because she had bigger fish to fry and she
didn’t need to make things uncomfortable with Bellamy.
The first few
beats of “Thriller” came on, and the girls squealed excitedly. One of Jules’s
favorite movies was 13 Going on 30.
They’d watched it dozens of times and had practiced the “Thriller” dance for
weeks until they knew it by heart.
Tara put down
her camera and the candy she’d stolen from Jules, and they fell into line doing
the “Thriller” dance. They threw their arms up, swinging them in the same
direction as their hips, dancing across the patio. The crowd formed a circle
around them. Their family and friends clapped and sang as the girls danced.
Jules’s brother Levi, her sister Leni’s twin, took pictures, and her sisters
made fun of her for singing the wrong lyrics. It didn’t matter how hard Jules
tried; she never got the words to any songs right. But she didn’t care. She
loved music, and she loved times like these, when her family and friends were
together and happy.
When the song
came to an end, the crowd applauded. The girls bowed and hugged each other,
giggling as everyone else went back to partying.
“We nailed it!”
Jules exclaimed.
“It’s our
seventh-grade talent show all over again!” Tara agreed.
“And Grant
missed it again.” Bellamy rolled her
eyes.
Jules hated
that Grant’s unhappiness was tearing apart his family the way Jock and Archer’s
rift had torn apart hers.
“Remember how
he used to get right in the middle of us when we danced?” Tara asked. “He’d do
all the wrong moves and laugh the whole time.”
“I know he’s
gone through a lot, and I hate saying this, but it’s like when they amputated
his leg, they took the best parts of his personality, too,” Bellamy said sadly.
“They didn’t, Belly,” Jules said adamantly.
She knew Grant
would probably never be the life of the party again. Nobody could go through
what he had and not come out the other side a changed person. But she also knew
he wasn’t destined to be an outsider, either, which was why she’d been trying
to get him out of the house to spend time with friends and family. She knew how
quickly a life could be taken away, and she wasn’t about to let a man who used
to be charming and eager for everything that came at him throw away the future
he’d been blessed with. He just needed to find his new happy place, and she was the perfect person to help him.
“Everyone
thought Archer would be spiteful and angry forever. Remember?” Jules said. “And
look how happy he is now.”
They looked
across the courtyard at Archer laughing with his friends and eyeing their
sister Leni’s friend Indi.
“If Archer
could let go of his anger after all those years,” Jules said, “we can help
Grant deal with and move past his struggles, too.”
Tara and
Bellamy exchanged a disbelieving glance.
“I know you
mean well, and you’ve tried really hard to help Grant,” Bellamy said. “But you
know how he is, Jules. He grunts at me more than he talks to me these days. I
don’t think he’s going to let any of us help him with anything.”
“I know exactly how he is, keeping himself
locked away in the Remingtons’ run-down beach bungalow like a recluse. He’s
blocking everyone out of his life like we don’t exist, and you know what? I’m done letting him do that to us and to himself. He needs to see that we
care about him. He will be happy
again. He just doesn’t realize it yet.” Jules put her hand on her hip. “You
know what? I’m going to drag his surly butt to this party and remind him of all
the things he loves about this island and everyone on it. But first I need to
get Indi’s makeup case.” She headed for Indi, a professional makeup artist who
lived in New York like Jules’s sisters Leni and Sutton and had come to the
island with them to do their family’s makeup for the party. They were leaving
in the morning, as were Levi and his daughter, Joey.
“Makeup?” Bellamy called after her.
Jules spun
around. “It’s a Halloween party, and you know Grant won’t have a costume!”
“But you have
the haunted walk soon!” Bellamy hollered.
Jules gave
Bellamy a thumbs-up and made a beeline for Indi. She’d spent ten years holding
her family together when Jock and Archer weren’t getting along. She was not afraid of a challenge, and Grant
Silver just might be her biggest challenge yet. She was a woman on a mission,
and nobody was going to stop her until that broody bad boy was on his way to
being happy again—ideally with her.
