Ava Thompson left her one true
love, Jasper White, to unearth her destiny. It was the only way for Ava to grow
into the woman she’s always wanted to become.
Sadly, that destiny has led her
back to the place that broke her … Singapore.
And more importantly, it has led
her back to the man who broke her … Harper.
Ava is no longer the scared, lost
girl she once was. She is stronger and determined to accomplish her dreams in
order to find happiness. Hopefully, at the end of it all, she will return into
the loving arms of Jasper White.
Six months later, Ava travels back
to Los Angeles for an event that embraces the true meaning of love. Sadly for
Ava, her meaning of true love has been lost.
Los Angeles is not how Ava left
it. Things have changed. People have changed. She has changed. However, what
has remained untouched is her passionate love for Jasper White.
But does Jasper feel the same?
EXCERPT
He inches his face towards mine, and I too edge forward, so not in control of my actions right now, because kissing him is the only thing I can think of. But then I remember he’s drunk, and this kiss will be meaningless in the morning.
Pulling back and shaking my head, in hopes of knocking some sense into my lust-filled brain, I whisper, “You’re drunk, Jasper.”
Jasper smiles, but it’s a sad smile.
His eyes focus on mine as he confesses, “I’m drunk on you. You’re my poison, Ava, and I don’t know how to stop consuming you.”
A breath catches in my throat as words that should be interpreted harshly, aren’t at all perceived that way. I don’t know how to reply, so I don’t. I close my eyes and take five steadying breaths.
One.
Two.
Three.
Four.
Five.
Reopening my eyes, I see that I’m alone.
Peering up at Jasper’s house, I witness him turning back towards my car from his front door. The porch light reflects off his beautiful face, and his expression is mirroring mine. And that expression is one I have been trying so hard to keep at bay, but sadly have been failing at.
That expression is one of submission and surrender.
We both surrender.
And that fact scares the living shit out of me.

Surrender (I surrender Book 1)
Synopsis:
Singapore has stolen a piece of
Ava Thompson.
It took one life shattering moment
for her to realize her ex-boyfriend is not the man she believed him to be.
Returning home to Los Angeles was never going to be easy for Ava, as her heart
has been shattered to smithereens and she’s convinced it’ll never heal. Or, so
she thought.
Enter Jasper White.
Unbeknown to Ava, he will change
her life forever.
The attraction is instantaneous,
which troubles Ava, who has sworn off men indefinitely. Yet, she is finding
resisting Jasper—with his tousled bedroom hair and piercing cerulean
eyes—harder than she ever imagined. That’s because Jasper knows what he wants …
and he wants her.
Can Ava surrender to her feelings
for the one man who compels her to love again? What happens if love isn’t
enough?
