Synopsis
 
The decision that tore them apart…
Former hopeless romantic, Mia Trent, is crushed when the love of her life, Nate McArthur, reveals that he doesn’t want to get married—or have children. But it’s too late. Mia is already pregnant and her dream of “happily ever after” is sharply put to an end when she decides to keep her pregnancy a secret, refusing to force him into a life he doesn’t want.
The compromise that made them a family…
Five years later, Mia must reach out to Nate for help or risk losing her home and shelter for their son. Stunned and outraged by the sudden news of his child, Nate proposes a compromise: give him the summer to get to know his son and he’ll save her home. Yet with Mia back in his life, Nate isn’t willing to lose her—or their son—again. What starts off as a temporary arrangement soon becomes a chance at rediscovery and becoming a family. Only Nate must convince his jaded dreamer that his love for her is true…and will last now and forever.

As she rinsed the last dish, Mia jumped when strong arms suddenly wrapped around her middle.
“Sorry,” Nate whispered into her ear. “I didn’t mean to scare you. I thought you heard me.”
She turned off the running water and leaned against him. “No, I was lost in my head. What did you say?”
Nate leaned down and kissed her on the back of her neck. Mia shivered. No matter where or how many, his kiss always left her lightheaded.
“I asked what’s for dessert,” he repeated, kissing her again.
Mia turned in his arms, laughing. “That’s so cliché, you know.”
“What do you mean?” he asked with mock disbelief.
She rolled her eyes. “Oh, please. You say ‘what’s for dessert’ then I say something ordinary and then you say something cheesy like wanting me for dessert.”
He looked down at her, thoughtful. “Hmm, that does sound like something I’d say. But this hungry man could actually still eat.”
“Oh,” Mia said, a little embarrassed by her rash assumption. He was serious. Nate wasn’t a small guy and could honestly still be hungry. “Well…” she began lamely, “I don’t have anything else to feed you.”
Nate’s eyes sparkled. “Yeah, you do,” he whispered. He placed his hands on the counter to either side of her, trapping her between his solid frame and the sink. “I said I could still eat.”
Mia paused, confused. Then she laughed, recognizing the heated suggestion in his eyes. “You’re bad,” she murmured, shoving at his hard chest.
He leaned in closer, his lips only a breath away from hers. “And you like it.”

Top 10 Songs That Inspired My Novel + GIVEAWAY

By Lena Hart

 

Music can be very therapeutic. The right song can move us to tears, stir us to dance, or simply open our minds and hearts to new feelings. For my debut novel, Because This Is Forever, there were such songs that held so much of my story within their lyrics. When I listened to them, I was transported right back into my story, experiencing what my characters felt.

 

Though there were many, I chose the top ten tracks that spoke to me most about Mia and Nate’s story. To me, these songs speak to the joys, sorrows, pain, and happiness they experienced throughout the story.

 

1. Payphone by Maroon 5

“If happy ever after did exist, I would still be holding you like this. And all these fairytales are full of it.”

 

2. Have You Ever by Brandy

“Have you finally found the one you given your heart to, only to find that one won’t give their heart to you.”

 

3. Unbreak My Heart by Toni Braxton

“Undo this hurt that you caused when you walked out the door and walked out of my life.”

 

4. Don’t You Remember by Adele

“You left with no goodbye. Not a single word was said.”

 

5. Where Do Broken Hearts Go by Whitney Houston

“I look in your eyes and I know that you still care for me.”

 

6. This Woman’s Work by Maxwell

“Now his part is over. Now starts the craft of the father.”

 

7. I Love You by Sarah McLachlan

“I grieve in my condition for I cannot find the words to say I need you so.”

 

8. Ready for Love by India Arie

“Tell me what is enough to prove I am ready for love.”

 

9. Don’t Let Go by En Vogue

“There will be some love-making, heart-breaking, soul-shaking love.”

 

10. A New Day Has Come by Celine Dion

“Let the rain come down and wash away my tears, let it fill my soul and drown my fears. Let it shatter the walls for a new sun.”

    Toni Braxton’s Un-break My Heart is one of my favorite songs of all time. Her soulful voice and the lyrical content were awesome.
