About this ebook

Emma Baker’s husband, Jonathan, has just divorced her, shattered her heart and left her and her young son, Christopher, to fend for themselves. Bitterly lonely, she accepts a girlfriend’s suggestion to go out on her first night as a newly free woman. She vows not to let a man turn her head, vows not to let love make a fool of her again. But she never counted on meeting a charismatic and sexy nightclub bouncer like Ben Lauery, who takes her for an exciting ride on his Harley, sweeps her off her feet and steals her heart. She never counted on the fireworks that explode in the bedroom and the sweetness of his burning kisses when he gently seduces her and makes her love him forever and always. All she knows is that, in the end, she can’t resist the passion, devotion and the forever love he’s offering and she has to give love a second chance.

About Kathryn Meyer Griffith...Since childhood I’ve been an artist and worked as a graphic designer in the corporate world and for newspapers for twenty-three years before I quit to write full time. But I’d already begun writing novels at 21, almost fifty years ago now, and have had thirty-one (romantic horror, horror novels, romantic SF horror, romantic suspense, romantic time travel, historical romance, thrillers, non-fiction short story collection, and murder mysteries) previous novels and thirteen short stories published from various traditional publishers since 1984. But, I’ve gone into self-publishing in a big way since 2012; and upon getting all my previous books’ full rights back for the first time have self-published all of them. My five Dinosaur Lake novels and Spookie Town Murder Mysteries (Scraps of Paper, All Things Slip Away, Ghosts Beneath Us, Witches Among Us, What Lies Beneath the Graves, All Those Who Came Before, When the Fireflies Returned) are my best-sellers.I’ve been married to Russell for over forty-three years; have a son, two grandchildren and a great-granddaughter and I live in a small quaint town in Illinois. We have a quirky cat, Sasha, and the three of us live happily in an old house in the heart of town. Though I’ve been an artist, and a folk/classic rock singer in my youth with my late brother Jim, writing has always been my greatest passion, my butterfly stage, and I’ll probably write stories until the day I die...or until my memory goes.2012 EPIC EBOOK AWARDS *Finalist* for her horror novel The Last Vampire ~ 2014 EPIC EBOOK AWARDS * Finalist * for her thriller novel Dinosaur Lake.*All Kathryn Meyer Griffith’s 31 novels and 13 short storiesare available everywhere in eBooks, paperbacks and audio books.Novels and short stories from Kathryn Meyer Griffith:Evil Stalks the Night, The Heart of the Rose, Blood Forged, Vampire Blood, The Last Vampire (2012 EPIC EBOOK AWARDS*Finalist* in their Horror category), Witches, Witches II: Apocalypse, Witches plus Witches II: Apocalypse, The Nameless One erotic horror short story, The Calling, Scraps of Paper (The First Spookie Town Murder Mystery), All Things Slip Away (The Second Spookie Town Murder Mystery), Ghosts Beneath Us (The Third Spookie Town Murder Mystery), Witches Among Us (The Fourth Spookie Town Murder Mystery), What Lies Beneath the Graves (The Fifth Spookie Town Murder Mystery), All Those Who Came Before (The Sixth Spookie Town Murder Mystery), When the Fireflies Returned (The Seventh Spookie Town Murder Mystery), Egyptian Heart, Winter’s Journey, The Ice Bridge, Don’t Look Back, Agnes, A Time of Demons and Angels, The Woman in Crimson, Human No Longer, Six Spooky Short Stories Collection, Haunted Tales, Forever and Always Romantic Novella, Night Carnival Short Story, Dinosaur Lake (2014 EPIC EBOOK AWARDS*Finalist* in their Thriller/Adventure category), Dinosaur Lake II: Dinosaurs Arising, Dinosaur Lake III: Infestation and Dinosaur Lake IV: Dinosaur Wars, Dinosaur Lake V: Survivors, Dinosaur Lake VI: The Alien Connection, Memories of My Childhood and Christmas Magic 1959.Her Websites:Twitter: https://twitter.com/KathrynG64My Blog: https://kathrynmeyergriffith.wordpress.com/My Facebook author page: https://www.facebook.com/KathrynMeyerGriffith67/Facebook Author Page: https://www.facebook.com/kathryn.meyergriffith.7http://www.authorsden.com/kathrynmeyergriffithhttps://www.goodreads.com/author/show/889499.Kathryn_Meyer_Griffithhttp://en.gravatar.com/kathrynmeyergriffithhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/kathryn-meyer-griffith-99a83216/https://www.pinterest.com/kathryn5139/You Tube REVIEW of Dinosaur Lake: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDtsOHnIiXQ&pbjreload=101

    Forever and Always

    A romantic short story

    By Kathryn Meyer Griffith

    The music was loud but the band, three young men with dyed spiked hair and blue jeans, was good. They played the usual contemporary cover songs but threw in a few of their own to spice things up. Not bad. Sweet harmonies. The lead singer had a killer voice. Cute, too. It was a shame I wasn’t in a better mood.

    People were dancing and laughing and drinking. But I wasn’t. I was frozen like a frightened deer on the edge of the bar crowd watching the couples gyrate on the floor.

    Meat market. That’s all this is. What am I doing here? Alone? I’ve been divorced all of four days and somehow still feel as if I’m cheating on my husband—my ex-husband now—Jonathan. Oh, well, as Jackie, my best friend, keeps telling me: You can’t be a wallflower the rest of your life. So the jerk, first guy you ever loved and the father of your child, dumped you for another woman? So what? He never loved you like he should have. Selfish SOB. His loss. You’re free to go on with your new life. Find that love you’ve been so hungry for for so long. Jump in there. Find him.

    Easier said than done. How many men would want a discarded woman with a child? Not many. Even my job, an assistant biller for a trucking company; just begun this week, was lousy. The graphic arts dream job I wanted would have to wait. I needed money now. Jonathan hadn’t given me much time. Six weeks ago he’d announced he was in love with someone else and was leaving. I’d never seen it coming, not even a glimmer. Stupid me.

    Being a local cop, he’d had a judge friend who’d pushed the paperwork through so quickly I was divorced, abandoned, and alone before I knew it. With rent and bills due within a month, I’d had no choice but to take the first offer of employment given. A paycheck first and a better job later. Oh, well. Like my mother said, take baby steps towards where you want to be and sooner or later you’ll get there.

    As if I could do anything else.

    Still in shock over Jonathan’s leaving, even now I cringed at my response when he’d told me what was bothering him in bed that night after making love. There’d been more passion than we’d had in years. But afterwards, pushing away from me, he was sadly distraught. Sensing something wrong, I’d pressed until the whole ugly truth came out.

    He’d met someone a year ago. Debbie. The sweetest, kindest most self-sufficient beautiful woman he’d ever met and he’d fallen deeply in love with her.
