Twenty-three year old, Kamryn Cunningham has left all she’s ever known and moved to a small town where no one knows her name, who her parents are, or
her social status in the horseracing world. Months after opening her own bakery and evading attempts of being set up by her new best friend, she meets Brody. But Kamryn fights the instant pull between them because there’s a detail she can’t dismiss. Brody’s
married.
To say that twenty-six year old, Brody Saco has had a rough marriage would be an understatement. After marrying his pregnant girlfriend, he spends the
next six years in a relationship filled with hatred, manipulation, and guilt involving a tragedy that happened five years earlier. When he keeps running into his sister-in-law’s best friend, Kamryn, he can’t ignore that she makes him feel more with just one
look than his wife ever has; and soon he can’t continue fight his feelings for her.
When staying apart proves to be too difficult, Brody and Kamryn enter a relationship full of stolen moments and nights that end too soon while they
wait for Brody to file for divorce. But the guilt that comes with their relationship may prove to be too much for Kamryn, and Brody might not be strong enough to face the tragedy from his past in order to leave his conniving wife.
My
phone started ringing as I stepped out of the shower, and I hurried
to dry off before running to the nightstand. A wide smile crossed my
face when I saw his name on the screen.
“Hey!
I didn’t think you were going to call.”
Brody
had come over the last two nights as well, but we were both worried
about pushing our luck with a fourth. Even though I hated not knowing
when we would get to see each other, or even talk again, the surprise
of hearing from him almost made it worth it.
“Can
I come over?” he asked hurriedly.
I
frowned and glanced at my phone quickly before bringing it back to my
ear. “Of course, are you okay?”
“I
am, I just need to see you.”
My
smile came back and I took off for the door leading to the garage.
“Okay, I’ll have the garage door opened, and the other one
unlocked. Just come in.”
“Be
there soon.”
Running
back to my bathroom, I threw the towel on the floor and brushed my
teeth, cutting it short when I heard the door shut.
“Kam?”
his deep voice called from the front of my condo.
“Shit!”
I hissed, and rinsed out my mouth before running to my room. “Be
out in a sec!” Throwing on the first tank top and shorts my hands
touched, I took a few seconds to settle my breathing before walking
calmly out to meet him.
He
already had his shirt and vest off, and the way his dark eyes raked
over my body had my stomach heating. There was a determined look on
his face as he took long steps to meet me, and just before we got to
each other, he shook his head and said, “I can’t do ‘slow’
anymore.”
His
arms went around me, and he brought his mouth down to mine. The
minute our lips touched, something in me ignited, and a small groan
came from Brody when I opened my mouth to him and his tongue met
mine. His large hands slid down my sides, his thumbs barely grazing
the side of my breasts before continuing down to rest on my hips,
pulling me closer to him. I let the tips of my fingers trail down his
chest until I hit the bottom of his undershirt and lifted, letting
him finish taking it off and dropping it on the floor.
“If
you want to stop, you need to say it now.”
“I’m
not saying anything,” I whispered against his lips.
I
couldn’t. We’d agreed to go slow, but nothing about what we were
doing was normal. Even though we’d kept the last three nights
pretty chaste, the charge between us had been growing steadily, and
we’d been in some sort of unspoken agreement that it was getting
too hard to stay away from each other. Both silently moving away from
each other when the electricity between us grew, both pulling away
breathlessly from kisses that had our resolve quickly slipping.
Just
before his mouth slammed down on mine, he mumbled, “Thank God.”
Kamryn Cunningham
aka “The Other Woman”
What, oh what is there to say about
Kamryn? She’s a whole lot of everything compacted into one. Kamryn
grew up in a world that she hated—a world full of labels, money,
power-hungry people, and couples who are together only for status.
With the high status of her family, she didn’t have many options on
straying from this world. Things were expected of her, her life was
planned out pretty much from day one, and those she loved most were
used against her as a way of keeping her on her perfectly planned
path. So she did the only thing she could do, she disappeared. After
years of planning, she took off, changed her look, moved across the
country, and opened the bakery she’d always wanted.
Even with her new best friend
constantly trying to set her up, she stays away from men. She wants
to just be herself, enjoy this time where she’s doing what she
wants, and focus on baking. She isn’t the kind of girl who
needs a man, and after the train wreck of a forced relationship back
home, she’d prefer not to have one at all! But then she meets
Brody—her best friend’s brother-in-law.
Kamryn’s heard about Brody and the
horrible marriage he’s in. His entire family is constantly on him,
trying to get him to divorce the woman who has single-handedly ruined
his life—Olivia. And as the story goes deeper, Kamyrn finds out
more and more about Olivia, sees how she’s slowly taking away all
that is Brody, and learns why Brody has stayed with his manipulative
wife through the years. Despite what Kamryn has heard, she knows
better than anyone that there can be underlying reasons for staying
with someone you don’t want or love, and it doesn’t change the
fact that he’s married. Kamryn tries to stay away from him … she
tries not to think about him. But neither of those are as easy as
they should be, as they have been. Everything in her calls to
Brody. It was as if she’d been living in the dark until she met
him, and it’s hard going back to the dark when she’s craving the
one man who can put light in her life. Even more when the man seeks
her out, begging her to help him understand what this attraction
between the two of them means.
But loving someone who belongs to
another woman is painful—even if his marriage died five years ago.
And it’s in that pain that we see, for the first time, Kamryn’s
struggle. A struggle of a girl who knows she is the other woman
… a home wrecker. A girl who can’t forget about Olivia even with
the obvious hatred and issues between Brody and his wife. A girl who
has grown up hating people who do exactly what she is doing. A girl
who hates what she’s doing. And a girl who, despite everything, is
undeniably in love with a man who isn’t hers.
