Compromise
is a word Annabelle Macon knows well. Sacrifices at home, in college
and with her career, have all given her the tools to be the person
she is. Now it seems she must also make concessions for her long-time
love, Jackson Storme.
Six
months into their relationship, and he’s already making unrealistic
demands. With distance putting that much more of a strain on their
relationship, how are the two ever going to manage?
Old
insecurities have a way of resurfacing, making Anna feel less than
suitable for someone like Jackson. She’s worked hard to get to
where she is now. Her life and her work are clashing, making matters
worse. Bringing a whole new meaning to work/life balance. But Anna
knows that with a little give and take everything will fall into
place, regardless of the obstacles that may stand in her way.
Excerpt
My
insecurities try breaking through the glass wall I built to hold it
prisoner. I’m not going to let the past invade our future.
“I’m
no Angel sweetheart.” Jackson smirks patting the empty spot on the
bed next to him. I move without thought. I am so attuned to this man,
and it scares me sometimes. But I quickly squash the rising fear.
It’s Jackson, and he’d never do anything intentionally to hurt
me. I’m like a moth to his undying flame. I’m forever drawn to
him. The air he breathes is an attractant to me. The moment I hit the
bed he pulls me into his lap, making me straddle his thighs.
Face-to-face now, Jackson stares at me. His eyes search mine.
Callused hands cup my face; his golden-brown eyes are piercing as he
just stares. This close I can see there are flecks of yellow, green,
and gold with an overcast of amber that surround his pupil. He has
such an intense stare I almost look away. A rumble of a groan travels
up his throat and I can feel the vibration through his fingertips as
they touch my skin. He does hold me. Owns my heart, my soul. I’m a
shell of a woman when it comes to Jackson Storme, and as pathetic as
it sounds, I can’t let it overwhelm me. There is much more to me,
than the love struck girl I seem to be whenever he’s near. His
thumbs stroke over my cheeks, and his eyes penetrate the haze he’s
cast over me.
“Baby,
do you know what you do to me, how I ache for you?”
“Feelings
mutual sheriff.”
“Oh,
don’t I know it baby girl.” He whispers.
Warmth
surrounds me as his lips graze my forehead. Jackson moves to kiss me
softly against my lips.
“I
wonder if you know.” He whispers against my mouth.

Info
One
of Tigris’ fondest memories, was in the sixth grade, when her
teacher read her story, “The Case of The Missing Pepperoni”, out
loud to the class. It was then she decided she wanted to be a writer
when she grew up. But like all childhood dreams, reality has a way of
crashing in and disrupting plans. But her imagination and the voices
inside her head never stopped talking. Every dream she could remember
was jotted down in her dream journals.
When
she’s not writing Tigris marvel’s at life’s gifts. She likes to
take pictures of beautiful things. She openly admits that what she
may find beautiful another person might not, and she’s perfectly
okay with that. She enjoys her music and doesn’t leave home without
it. Long pillow conversations with LL about nonsensical things, and
hanging out with her boys, when they deem her “cool enough.”
Tigris
is a military brat who’s done her fair share of travelling, thanks
to her Army father. She’s married to the infamous LL and has three
boys. She currently resides in Houston and is actively seeking a
book-buddy for the end of the world.

Sounds very realistic with the give and take in a relationship.
