    About this ebook

    “Value, worth – these are things I don’t have. College degree, great job – none of it matters if you look in the mirror and can’t find anything to love.” Candace Jones.

    Structure, dedication, and determination are the traits Candace Jones has survived on. Life is a school of hard knocks.

    Lance “Rush” Miller works hard and plays even harder. He lives his life from one adrenaline rush to the next. He has it made and he knows it.

    What happens when firm resolve crashes into wild abandon? Two complete opposites are thrown together when Candace finds herself in need of a quick escape that Lance is all too willing to give her.

      ~For Ace~

      Thank you for being along for the ‘rush’ and putting up with my kind of crazy.

      To everyone who has ever felt like you aren’t enough exactly as you are

      YOU ARE MORE THAN ENOUGH

      Candace

      Welcome to my every secret …

      Welcome to my every truth …

      Welcome to my every insecurity overcome.

      Prologue

      CANDACE

      Go to school, get good grades, stay out of the way, and stay quiet.

      Simple enough.

      Only nine hundred or so more days until I graduate from high school and move on to college.

      I once read an article that said, ‘a person can still feel alone even surrounded by a room full of people.’ That one phrase describes my existence perfectly.

      No one understands me. No one relates. And frankly, I don’t care to feel the burn of betrayal to try and have friendships or relationships again anyway. Once bitten, twice shy, that is me.

      Candace, dinner’s ready, my mom calls out, and dread automatically fills me.

      I trudge down the stairs one by one while the childhood pictures stare back at me, taunting me.

      Haunting me.

      The chubby baby cheeks that were once so cute now round out my face, hiding none of my shame from the world. At the bottom step, I close my eyes and inhale deeply. Exhaling, I push back the tears threatening to spill out.

      My daily torture is about to begin. Some kids dread being at school. I love school. For me, my pain and agony lies inside these four walls. I dread home life.

      As I round the corner and step into the kitchen, the aroma of garlic assaults my senses as my stomach growls loudly in hunger. Absently, I run my hands over my belly. Instantly, the smells trigger this part inside me that comes alive at the thought of food.

      Oh, Candy, don’t rub your tummy like a pet, my mother chastises.

      Silently, I move to wash my hands. There is nothing I can say to her that could make her understand. It’s beyond my control. The reaction I have to smells and even the sight of food is involuntary. I don’t want to be hungry, I just find that I am.

      No one sees
