Synopsis:
“I loved her and she left. Maybe I wasn’t
enough. Maybe I’ll never be enough.” I’ve been thinking these words since
before we even got together.
Everything is new. The old no longer has a
place here. Physical items are easy to replace. I'm constantly battling the
ones that aren't.
Every thought and memory I have is stained.
By you.
You weren't even there for half of them.
How is she still present even though she
left?
I can do this. I’m going to survive losing
her.
*** This is the second book of the His
Series, and it DOES end with a cliffhanger. The final book of the His Series,
Finding Me, will release June 1, 2015***

Excerpt:
“Dude, you’ve got to get up.” Jameson sighs
as I pull the pillow back over my head. I don’t even know what day it is
anymore. I don’t care.
What adds salt to my wounds is the fact
that the world keeps turning. People continue waking up and going about their
day. The sun rises and sets. I hear kids laugh and play, neighbors greet one
another, and birds sing, and all the while I wonder how? How does the entire
world appear to be surviving this nightmare of losing her?
****
Hank comes to visit in June. I still
haven’t heard from Ace, and yet I’m still staying at my mom’s. I can’t leave. I
can’t go back to that house. I’d moved rooms shortly after she left, and now
reside in the guest room on the main floor. It’s better this way. There aren’t
any pictures of her in here or random memories, like the one of her sitting on
my bean bag chair when I was sick last summer. I also don’t have to face the
window that looks out onto hers.
Hank knows that I know mom sent for him,
hoping that he’d be able to “help” me. She of all people should know that
having Hank around isn’t going to help me. He’s fucking married to the love of
his life; he doesn’t have a fucking clue about the shit that I’m going through.
Of all things, Hank wants to go camping.
I’m sure he thinks that getting away will help. He doesn’t understand that
moving rooms has helped me realize I could go to Antarctica, and things
wouldn’t change; the distance isn’t going to make the pain any less.
When we get camp set up, Hank opens a
cooler and passes me a beer with a giant, shit-eating grin, like we’ve just
overcome a huge hurdle. Deciding that I shouldn’t rain on his little douchebag
tea party quite yet, I accept the beer with merely a grimace before taking a
long swig. Before long, that single swig becomes a chug, and then a guzzle as I
consume more alcohol than what three people probably should.
I sit by the fire and close my eyes. My
mind automatically reaches back into that locked and forbidden drawer to pull
out the image of Ace, striving to recall the sound of her laugh, the feel of
her touch. It brings me back to our camping trip last September, when Jameson
announced that was what he wanted to do for his birthday.

The
His series by Mariah Dietz:
Becoming
His (#1) –
Sometimes life's unforeseen paths lead us
to discovering sides of ourselves we never knew existed.
Ace Bosse has always found solace at home,
but when she returns for the summer from college, she builds an unexpected
relationship with the Reckless Max Miller.
Three years ago, Max left for Alaska to
find what he thought he'd lost, but now realizes just how much he left behind.
Max teaches Ace that sometimes a little
crazy is exactly what life needs while learning that some chances are worth taking,
regardless of the risks.
But how do you know when you've met the
right person? And will they be prepared to experience one of life's biggest
obstacles?
Falling in love isn't easy--but holding on
to it is where the real challenge lies.
