 <\/p>\n

There are some paths in your life you\u2019re never meant to take.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Yet, by some twist of fate, you find yourself on the forbidden road all the same.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Those are the words I stumble upon when I unearth a hidden journal that once belonged to my grandmother.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A hidden journal that details a heartbreaking affair with her husband\u2019s brother. It\u2019s a family secret I\u2019m unprepared to deal with, especially when my own life begins to parallel hers.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sawyer Gallagher was never on my radar. The moment I met his younger brother, I was taken. Done for. Love-drunk.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

But, some things aren’t meant to last and at the age of thirty-three, I find myself divorced, penniless and living with my parents. When Sawyer stops by our family\u2019s antique store, asking for a job, I figure: Why the heck not? Life can\u2019t get much worse.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It doesn\u2019t take long to realize just how different the Gallagher brothers are. Sawyer is kind, supportive, and, oh, did I mention sexy as hell?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In a small town like ours, I can\u2019t help but ask myself\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

Can I fall for my former brother-in-law?<\/span><\/p>\n

Or is this just history repeating itself? <\/span><\/p>\n

EXCERPT\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

It had been ages since my feet graced the concrete of this street. <\/span><\/p>\n

A year ago, I used to walk this familiar path several times a day. I could count the steps between our front door and the antique store and the caf\u00e9. It was the perfect little house, right in the middle of town.<\/span><\/p>\n

My parents\u2019 house, on the other hand, was on the outskirts, and in order to get anywhere, you had to drive. I hated that, especially as a kid. When you were little, you wanted instant gratification, and being even ten minutes from friends and fun was too much. I hadn\u2019t lost that feeling when I got older, so being able to walk to the market for a head of lettuce or walk hand in hand with my husband to the caf\u00e9 for an impromptu brunch, that was my idea of bliss.<\/span><\/p>\n

Or at least, it had been.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, the little white house was a stark reminder of everything I\u2019d had. And lost. <\/span><\/p>\n

My heart began to race when I got within eyesight of it. I saw the mailbox first\u2014the royal blue I\u2019d chosen that first year of marriage. I\u2019d agonized for days over the perfect shade. Reed had laughed, not understanding the difference between any of them. <\/span><\/p>\n

My stomach turned as I thought of it now. <\/span><\/p>\n

Look straight ahead, Elle.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t think about the mailbox.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Or the young, blonde woman walking out of the house \u2026<\/span><\/i> wait, what?<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

My feet faltered, and I nearly tripped.<\/span><\/p>\n

There was a woman in my house.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s not your house anymore<\/span><\/i>, I reminded myself. <\/span><\/p>\n

I tried not to look, but I couldn\u2019t help but notice how familiar she seemed with it all. The way she stepped off the threshold and locked the door with ease, tucking the set of keys into her purse without thought. She waved to Mr. Flannigan next door, who was watering his award-winning roses. I watched in horror as he smiled and gave a friendly wave back.<\/span><\/p>\n

My throat burned, and my eyes stung. <\/span><\/p>\n

I thought back to that moment at the funeral when Reed\u2019s lips parted, and those unspoken words sat frozen in time. <\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019d always assumed he was waiting for the perfect time to say <\/span>I\u2019m sorry<\/span><\/i> or <\/span>I\u2019ll never stop loving you<\/span><\/i>, but in reality, perhaps he was just trying to muster the courage to tell me the truth.<\/span><\/p>\n

He\u2019d met someone.<\/span><\/p>\n

He\u2019d moved on. It seemed there\u2019d been a lot of that going on lately.<\/span><\/p>\n

Suddenly not in the mood for coffee, my stomach turning more sour by the second, I turned and bolted for the antique store. I didn\u2019t bother checking to see if the mystery woman saw me. <\/span><\/p>\n

There was a reason I never walked down this street.<\/span><\/p>\n

Too many memories.<\/span><\/p>\n

Too much pain.<\/span><\/p>\n

And right now, I\u2019d had enough of both. <\/span><\/p>\n
