Synopsis:
Serena has learned to live with her past, locking her secrets and nightmares deep inside her. But when her boyfriend of six years abruptly leaves her, she’s catapulted back into pain, nursing a broken heart. When indulging in mountains of chocolate doesn’t work, Serena decides the best way to deal with her shattered heart is to indulge in something else. A rebound . . .
The night she swaps her usual Sprite for tequila, she meets James. The encounter is breathtaking.
Electrifying.
And best not repeated.
James is a successful entrepreneur in Silicon Valley. A man who has amassed a fortune by taking risks. A man who has shunned commitment completely, and still does. He’s the exact opposite of Serena. But sometimes opposites attract. Sometimes they give in to burning passion. Sometimes opposites are perfect for each other.
James is everything her damaged soul could want. His kisses are intoxicating, his touch out of this world. He makes her forget. He grants her peace from her pain. But as they grow closer, Serena discovers she isn’t the only one with a past. James carries the scars of a past much darker than hers. One that has left him damaged, hurt, and wary of love. A past that gives him the power to shatter her.
Now James and Serena must find a way to mend one another. Or risk losing each other forever.

Review
James has been spiraling out of control, with a tragic incident always fresh in his mind, he is on a fast track of derailment. Serena harbors her own guilt and can’t seem to let it go. When James sees Serena for the first time he recognizes that haunting look and for the first time in years he wants to be the one who heals her.
Short little prequel but it packed a powerful punch. James is the bad boy who has straightened up his act in some ways, but in others he still is the same. Serena is an intriguing woman she has a friend who is a bit wild, but Serena is more introverted but you sense there are layers to this woman. Can’t wait to read Lost In Us.
