Excerpt:
“Well, then, what do you want from me, Olivia?” he asked loudly, watching her walk away.
She spun around abruptly and searched his eyes. “I don’t want you to always feel like you have to come and help me, Alex,” she whimpered, her throat beginning to close up again, thinking about the man who was no longer hers. “I just want you to stand by my side while I try to help myself.” Her eyes narrowed, staring at him as he remained silent on the busy Boston street. “Do you think you can do that?” She looked at him as snow continued to blanket the sidewalk, desperately wanting him to say that yes, he could do that. That he would stand by her side. That he would forget all about her running out on him. And that he would do anything he could to make sure she never did the same thing again.
But instead, Alexander just stood there and stared, not saying anything.
Several moments passed, the silence deafening. “That’s what I thought.” Her eyes fell as she turned and continued to walk, shivering from the snow and the last shattered pieces of her heart being stomped on.
Alexander tried to open his mouth to say something. Anything. Tell her to wait. Stop. He made a mistake. But nothing came out. He knew he had just let the only woman he would ever truly love walk out of his life. And he did nothing. He watched his entire world fall apart and he didn't do anything to stop it. All of a sudden, he felt more lonely than he had ever felt in all his thirty years.

Excerpt:
Olivia
eyed Alexander as she tasted the delicious wine. “So, Antonio seems
excited that you’re here with me. Any reason for that?”
Alexander placed his wine glass on the table and grabbed Olivia’s hand.
“To be honest, it seems we have a little something in common, Miss
Adler. I don’t really do the relationship thing either. I like to fuck
and leave all those emotional attachments out of it. I’ve certainly
never taken a woman out like this before, apart from the obligatory
charity functions I am expected to be at.”
Olivia looked down, not wanting to hear what he was going to say next.
She actually enjoyed spending time with Alexander and for once wanted
more than just an occasional hook-up, but it sounded as though that was
all he was interested in. But why the Red Sox game? Why the wine and
dine? And why didn’t he make his move at Beer Works when Olivia made it
rather clear that she wanted him to kiss her?
Alexander continued speaking, breaking her away from her growing
unsettled emotions. “But, there’s just something about you, Olivia. You
make me want to break all my rules. I can’t quite put my finger on it,
but I’m beginning to not care.”
Butterflies erupted in Olivia’s stomach at his words. She felt the same
way. Looking up, she smiled as she met Alexander’s eyes. “That doesn’t
mean that I still don’t want to fuck you senseless, Miss Adler,” he
winked as the waiter arrived to take their order, leaving Olivia
completely shocked.
