The Trouble With Love (Forbidden Love, #1)

by Kat T. Masen

“Love isn’t easy, Amelia. And the stronger and deeper the love, the harder it will test you. How else will you know if that person is worth fighting for unless you put it to the test?”

No more mind games. Just forget she even exists because you have no choice. She’s everything you can’t have. And everything you want at the same time. A deadly combination that never ends well.

“Because it’s you, Amelia,” he whispers so delicately. “You’re the one I can’t stop thinking about.”

I pull her into me, tilting my head to whisper in her ear. “It’s almost midnight, and this is the busiest place in the world. Everyone can see us at this moment. No hiding, it’s just you and me, baby.”

Surrounding us, people hug and kiss, but all I can do is stare into the eyes of this beautiful woman I want to call mine.

Forever. And then, in front of thousands of people, and quite possibly the world via the lens, we passionately kiss for everyone to see. Our tongues roll softly, perfectly in sync, and as we both pull away, my heart is bursting with happiness to be able to share this moment with her.

“I’m in love with you, Amelia Edwards,” I admit, gazing into her eyes. “And no one will stop us from being together. I promise you this.”

“Amelia, for as long as you choose us, I’ll protect what we have,” he urges, running his thumb against my bottom lip. “Do you promise, Will? This will get harder before it gets better.” “I love you, Amelia. No one will stand in our way, and that includes your father.” His deep stare, full of promises, fills me with hope. For as long as he’ll protect what we have, I’ll choose to fight for him. The only man I want more than life itself.

Lex Edwards officially won the bet. Yet all the money in the world means nothing if I can’t have the woman I love. The beautiful woman still standing in front of me. Amelia Edwards.
