Crossroads (Haven River Ranch, #1)

by Devney Perry

I’d loved West Haven so much I couldn’t see straight. So much I would have given up anything and everything to be at his side.

For Indya. I’d wanted that cabin to be nice in case one day she came back.

Collisions on crossroads. West and I were nothing but collisions on crossroads.

“I heard she’s a real bitch.” “Watch your fucking mouth,” I snapped, pointing at his nose. “Only warning I’ll give you. You do not talk about her like that.”

Kissing Indya was as natural as breathing. It should be. I’d been kissing her since I was a kid.

When Indya Keller was in Montana, she was mine. Even when she wasn’t.

I’d loved West Haven for what felt like my entire life.

Even though I’d never said the words. Even though I’d never made him a promise. Even though I’d married another man. West was mine. Even though he wasn’t.

“I liked this shirt,” he said. “It will look better on my floor.”

“It bothers me that I didn’t know you wear nightgowns. It bothers me that I don’t know if you like red wine or white. Waffles or pancakes. Summer or winter.”

I might rename the place someday.” “Really? What would you call it?” “Haven Ranch. Haven River.

I loved her. I fucking loved that woman. I’d loved her my whole damn life.

“I want everyone to know you’re mine. Employees. Guests. Anyone who sets foot on this ranch. We were a secret for too long, baby. I’m not hiding this anymore.”

“Will you still want me if I’m a crying girl?” I sniffled. West ran his thumb across my bottom lip. “My girl can cry whenever the fuck she wants.”

“I bought it for you. I came for you. I have loved you since I was eight years old.”

I loved him. I loved him enough to sacrifice a year and give up fifty million dollars.

“Never again. I never want to see you walk away from me again.”

I wanted to stay. For once, I just wanted to stay.”

“I have loved you since I was ten. Since you left a paper airplane and flowers in my fort. I love you. I have always loved you.”
