Enduring Everything Anniversary Book
Blitz
Time
doesn't always heal old wounds. Often time makes them worse. Especially when
you push those wounds to the back of your mind and focus on the life you want
to lead. Then the day comes when you finally have everything.
It
is then, you realize that nothing ever goes away.
In order to put years
of heartache and abuse behind her, Ren learned to bury the past deep down
inside herself and focus on one thing; raising her daughter Sophia. As the
years passed, she found peace in the daily routine of her job and becomes
content with being a mom.
On the night of her
daughter's wedding, Ren takes a risk and strays from the predictable world she
has set up for herself when her longtime friend Jackson rekindles a loving promise
he made to her long ago.
Ren cannot keep her
past buried, and the two struggle when old problems start to creep back into
their lives. She cannot get her world back in order and her instinct is to shut
everyone out.
In the midst of it all
Ren is coerced into helping Charlotte, an adopted teenager of her close
friends the Roberts'. Reluctantly agreeing, Ren finds Charlotte is in dire need
of self-control and direction. Upon discovering they share a similar upbringing
Ren feels she can advise Charlotte and keep her from repeating her own
mistakes. Taking steps to ensure Charlotte's recovery, her new found purpose
causes a rift in the family she has come to know and love as her own.
Battling issues, both
new and old, will Ren & Jacks be able to endure everything life has thrown
at them or will Ren give up everything and isolate herself from the inevitable
pain that will follow when all her secrets are revealed?

Blitz exclusive alternate character POV -Proposal(Jacks)
Smiling,as I kissed the palm of her hand, I
had waited for this moment between us for so long. I wanted her to say it. I
needed to hear her say yes.
"Ren, you know what I want. Don't
you?"
With a confused look in her eyes she questioned,
"Then why did you stop kissing me?"
How could I not love this woman?
"I love you."
"I love you too, Jacks,"
I
couldn't stop myself from kissing her again, but the moment I did, I knew I
needed more from her.
"Marry me."
"Why don't we talk about it in the
morning?" she suggested, clearly putting off giving me a definite answer.
"You
don't want to get married?"
I watched her tense as she pretended the idea
of being married again didn't scare the hell out of her.
"I don't see the importance of it."
Nodding at her, I acknowledged her feelings,
but I had already spent too many years being in love with a woman that wasn't
mine. There was no way I was going a step further without her agreeing to be my
wife. Not because I wanted to own her, I wanted her to own me.
"I know how you feel about it but I don't
want anything from you. I love you and I want to give you everything I have. I
promised you I would give you all of me and that includes my name."
Noddingback
at me, she whispered, "Okay."
It
wasn't the 'yes' that I was after, but 'okay' was close enough.
Instantly pulling her into a kiss, I wanted her.
I wanted everything she had to give. Ren was never just another girl to me.
Even back when sex was the only thing on my mind, it never could have been just
sex. Not with Ren. She was my everything, and always had been.
When she pulled away, grabbing the edges of my
shirt, whispering, "Come with me,"I couldn't help myself.
Sliding
my hands into the back of her hair, I kissed her so hard she stumbled a little
as she stood up. The second I let go, she turned and headed towards her bedroom.Wrapping
my arms around her shoulders,I followed close behind.
The moment we stepped into her room, Ren
hesitated.
Leaning down, I gently kissed her, asking,
"Are you okay?"
"I
keep expecting someone to bust in and stop us."
"Let me go lock your front door, I'll be
right back," I said with a laugh, recalling the day
my dad walked in on us.
At
the time it wasn't funny for my dad to open the door and see Ren in her
underwear sitting on my lap.Now that nothing was going to stop us this time, I
was able to find humor in the situation.
When I walked back into her room and Ren was
sitting on the end of her bed wearing only a bra and panties, I had to mentally
talk myself out of leaping across the room onto her.This was supposed to be
slow, romantic and she was killing me.
"I
wanted to do that part," I shared, hoping she would let me set the pace.
Leaning
back slightly, she offered, "I can put my dress back on."
"Don't you dare," I swore, deciding right
then and there, I would die if that happened.
Pulling my undershirt off over my head, I
couldn't take my eyes off of her. Over the years, I had seen her in her
underwear twice before this moment.She was more beautiful than I remembered her
being. Her body was a contradiction to itself, just like her. She appeared
toned and firm but at the same time she had these soft curves that drew all of
my attention. I couldn't wait anymore. As I stepped to her, her eyes shot
straight to the wren marked on the left side of my chest.Reaching up,she smiled
andplaced her hand over my tattoo.
Looking into her eyes, I vowed, "My Wren,"knowing
she could feel my heart pound,in anticipation, under her hand.

He was
all the things she really wanted and never bothered to look for in a man. He

She
was an infuriating pain in the ass, and he'd be damned straight to hell if he
had to spend even one day without her by his side.
Charlotte
and Auggie never thought they would fall in love, and certainly not with each
other. Looking beyond themselves to see the worth in each other, they found a
love that is worth holding onto. But for two stubborn strong willed people like
C&A, falling in love is only half the battle. And their road to matrimony
is an uphill fight that will test them all the way to the altar.
