Pucking Strong (Jacksonville Rays #4)

by Emily Rath

This is for everyone who has ever been told you’re too much. That you feel too much, talk too much, need too much. No, you don’t. You’re perfect just as you are.

That’s always the kicker, right? First, there’s the sadness that someone is gone. Then comes the resentment that you didn’t know the last time would be the last time.

As I stand here, heart racing, the truth settles over me: I don’t want Teddy out with another man tonight. I want him home, laughing with Karro on the couch, making banana splits, and teaching me to braid her hair. I want him home with me.

“You want my attention, Henrik? You always have it. And for your information, yes. From the moment I first saw you, I thought you were the most beautiful man I’d ever seen.

“What we have? How this feels? Do you know how fucking rare this is? Not to get too cheesy, but in the immortal words of Kiss, I was made for lovin’ you, baby.”
