~FEVER~
I danced my fingers under the hot spray and sighed.
Heaven.
I stepped into the hot oasis and stretched my neck back, letting the water run down my front, heating me, soaking into my skin. I closed my eyes.
“Heaven,” I sang the word in a whisper. “I’m in heaven.”
My voice grew stronger as I sang through the first verse of “Cheek to Cheek.” Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald sang my favorite version of the song. I was so in love with those two, probably because my mother was a jazz/swing freak. Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Louis Armstrong...they were always filling our house with music. But Ella, she was my mom’s favorite, and she’d quickly become mine. The woman had a voice like an angel...the supreme songbird, Mom used to say.
I ended the verse strong on the high note and was about to dip low for the last line when a deep, masculine voice joined me from the other side of the wall.
“When we’re out together dancing cheek to cheek.”
My breath hitched, my heart rate tripling. Man, that was a sexy voice. Low and warm with just a touch of roughness around the edges. My insides flooded with heat, and it wasn’t because of the shower. I bit my lip, wondering how to respond. My mind flashed with images of a naked man beneath his own shower head. What did he look like? If the person matched the voice, he must be built like a Greek god.
And there go the tingles.
My mind raced with images of taut muscles, a broad chest, water cascading down a ripped torso… trickling down that triangle to a—
Snapping my eyes shut, I forced my brain to behave as I touched the tiles in front of me.
I’d never had such a physical reaction to someone’s voice before. I mean, yeah, David was sexy in his own way, but whoever was on the other side of the wall was making my knees weak.
The man chuckled, a low, gruff sound from his throat...at least I thought it was a chuckle. It was kind of hard to hear through the wall, but then he started singing again and I heard the smooth sound with crystal clarity. “Oh, I’d love to climb a mountain and to reach the highest peak.”
He paused.
Waiting.
For me.
Pressing my lips together, I blinked a couple of times and then grinned…

~ROUGH WATER~
I skimmed her cheek with my thumb and gazed at her. “You’re home early.”
She shied away from my touch and looked to the floor. “I caught an earlier flight. Jules and the others were gambling and I just… I didn’t feel like it.” Dropping her keys on the table, she shrugged out of her denim jacket and hung it on the hook. Her hands were shaking.
I reached for her quivering fingers and gave them a tender squeeze. “Are you sure you’re okay?”
“I’m just not feeling very well,” she whispered. Her eyes glassed over and she blinked rapidly before stepping past me. Jerking to a stop, she scanned the open-plan living area, from the spotless kitchen counter to the clutter-free floor and plumped pillows on the sofa.
“Wow.” She said it like a sigh. “This place looks amazing.”
“I know it doesn’t make up for me bailing on you, but I really wanted to do something to apologize. Work keeps getting the better of me. I know I can’t keep doing this to us, and I—”
“It’s okay.” She shook her head, staring at our enlarged wedding photo on the wall. It’d been a gift from her mother and was hanging there when we got back from our honeymoon. Neither of us had the heart to take it down, but I didn’t think either of us loved it. We probably would have, if the memory hadn’t been bathed in tragedy. Funny how Blake’s death could extend so far, killing one of the most memorable days of our lives in the process.
Sarah caught me gazing at her and forced a tight smile. “I get that work’s busy. It’s the same for me, too.”
I winced, unable to hide my regret. “I know, but I still wanted to make it up to you. I’m going to cook you dinner and maybe we can…” My voice trailed off, trepidation working like a hand around my throat. I swallowed and made myself smile. “This is our night, Sparks.” Heading for the stereo, I selected the playlist I’d created earlier.
“Where I Belong” was the first song I chose. A Lindsey Ray concert had been our first date. She’d performed an acoustic set in an open field—her, a guitar, and lovesick couples dancing on the grass. Sarah and I had shuffled beneath the stars and fallen in love.
Tears lined Sarah’s lashes as she stared at the stereo then dragged her gaze to my face.
“What is it?” My concern spiked again, and I rushed to her side.
“I love this song,” she whispered.
My worries eased, and I gave her a relaxed smile. Taking her wrist, I led her to an open space in the living room then drew her against me. She fitted into my arms so perfectly. Her small fingers threaded behind my neck, and she pressed her head against my chest.
I started swaying, leading her in a slow dance.
And she started crying.
Her tears were soft at first, soaking into my T-shirt like slow raindrops sliding down a pane of glass. I didn’t understand them. I hoped they were happy tears.
Her husband was finally giving her the attention she deserved. Maybe she’d been bottling everything up like I had, and she couldn’t contain it anymore. My long-awaited kindness was working like a corkscrew, freeing her pent-up emotions so they overflowed like bubbling champagne.
My guilt was thick and metallic. I tried not to let it swallow me whole, but I couldn’t deny the truth. I’d waited too long to get my act together. I’d failed her, and now she was whimpering against me. It hurt my heart to listen to her.
Blinking, I pressed my lips to Sarah’s head and kept swaying. “I love you, Sparks.”
My whispered words made her shudder. A fresh wave of tears took her, but these weren’t the soft, gentle kind. They were ugly sobs. She wriggled free of my arms and covered her mouth, turning away from me and stumbling into the dining room.
“Sarah?” I lurched after her.
Her hands slapped onto the back of the wooden chair, and she gripped it until her knuckles turned white.
I didn’t know what the hell was going on, but I hated seeing my wife distressed. Gently running my hand up her back, I squeezed the nape of her neck and whispered, “Baby, what is it?”

CHAPTER ONE: ELLA
This was a mistake.
I was such an idiot!
Why did I agree to this?
My hands gripped the sides of my narrow airplane seat as the aircraft descended into O’Hare International Airport.
Morgan sat beside me, agitated and tutting; she hated being late. The flight from LAX had been delayed by over an hour, and it was pure torture for her. She looked at her watch again, clicking her tongue and holding in another sigh; I could tell by the way her cheeks were puffing.
“We should have left a week ago.” She shook her head. “We've put so much pressure on ourselves now. Classes start tomorrow. You've completely missed orientation, you'll only just make registration, and you still have to get your stuff sorted out.” Her bottom lip protruded in an uncharacteristic pout. “Plus, I wanted to see Brad this afternoon.”
She pressed her lips together, trying to hold back her myriad of complaints. I knew she felt bad, and I didn't want to rub her nose in it, but she was my friend and I had to say something.
“Staying for your little sister's eighteenth birthday party was the right thing to do. Jody's my best friend; I wasn't going to miss it.”
Morgan conceded with an eye roll, her cheeks heating with color. “I know. I just wish the timing could have been better, that's all. Did she really have to celebrate on her actual birthday?”
I chuckled. “It's Jody, of course she did.”
Morgan flicked me a dry look, her lips twitching.
I turned to peek out the window. My new home lay beneath me; the vast, sprawling city of Chicago. A city I'd never set foot in. Most people would probably have been giddy with excitement, but I just felt scared. Not that I'd ever admit it to Morgan or David, but I saw absolutely nothing wrong with a degree from Pasadena Community College, and I didn’t know why I'd caved and agreed to apply to the University of Chicago! My boyfriend could be too persuasive sometimes. It was no surprise to anyone that he had his sights set on law school; he'd be an amazing lawyer.
I never expected to get into UChicago…and I certainly never expected to get awarded a partial scholarship. It was impossible to say no after that. So, after only one contented year at my little community college, I was shipping myself across the country to start a new life.
“It's only three years,” I mumbled to myself.
It was an attempt at comfort, but it fell flat. It wasn't just three years. If David got his way, which he always seemed to, I might never make it back to L.A.. The idea should have been liberating. L.A. held a lot of bad memories for me, but it also held Jody and a life that brought with it a certain sense of security.
“Why am I doing this?” My head whipped back to Morgan.
Her tense face relaxed as she squeezed my arm. “Because you're an intelligent woman who deserves this chance. Just think of your parents.”
That was the clincher. That's how they'd persuaded me to finally make the move. I hated them for bringing my parents into this, but David and Morgan were probably right.
“Besides, aren't you just so relieved to be out of your psychotic aunt's house? No more cats. No more anal reminders about how the towels should be hung just so. No more random rampages.”
I cringed, picturing my aunt as she rained a flurry of words over me, telling me how useless I was and how I never seemed to pull my weight around the house.
“I never asked to have you, Ella. The girls and I have had to sacrifice a lot to fit you into our lives. You should be grateful.”
The girls! Ugh. She was more in love with those damn cats than any human beings. I still couldn't believe that woman was related to my mother; it didn't seem possible.
I squeezed my eyes shut, pressing my head against the seat back. “Come on, Morgan. You know I practically moved into your place when you left. I spent more nights sleeping in your old bed than my own. I only went back on the nights Aunt Fiona had a sudden surge of guilt and dragged me home, because I was her responsibility.”
Morgan chuckled at the fake voice I was using. “I know you're not going to miss that.”
“I'll miss Jo-Jo, though.”
Morgan squeezed my arm, making me look at her. “I know. It's just been the two of you—no David, no me—and you guys had a blast, but it's gonna be okay. You need to spread your wings, Ella. It's time for you to fly.”
“I never asked to fly.”
“Oh stop it.” Morgan turned back to face the front, rubbing her ear as the plane drew closer to the ground.
Twenty minutes later, we landed with a soft bump and taxied toward the terminal. As soon as the wheels hit the tarmac, Morgan went into mother-mode. She'd been doing it since she was fourteen and had the whole deal down pat.
“Okay, so David said he'd pick us up. He better be there on time.”
“You know he will.”
“As soon as we get to the dorm, we'll drop our stuff and I'll quickly show you around the floor, but then I need to go find Brad. I hope that's okay. You don't mind unpacking on your own, do you?”
“I'll be okay. David said he'd give me a tour.”
“Make sure he takes you past registration. You need to be sure of where all your classes are. I don't want you getting lost on the first day.”
“I know. He'll definitely have to show me where my Monday classes are. I'm a bit nervous about that actually.”
“You'll be fine.” She brushed her hand through the air. “This is a big adventure, I know, but you can do this, sweets. You're gonna be awesome.”
I forced a tight smile, my cheek muscles straining.
Morgan chuckled then broke into a grin. It was her big beaming one, so I knew she wasn't thinking about David as she leaned toward me with a little squeal. “I can't believe we're gonna be roomies! Having spent my first two years with Boring Doreen and then a hideous year with Slutbag Susanna, I am so excited that my senior year will be with my kick-ass bestie. I've missed you so much. Jody's had you all to herself, and now it's my turn.”
I grinned; I couldn't help it. In spite of my trepidation, it was going to be cool living with Morgan again. We'd met when I was fifteen years old. Moving from Bellevue, Washington to Pasadena had been terrifying. As if my parents dying so suddenly hadn't been enough of a shock, I was then shipped off to live with Aunt Fiona. I wanted to die, literally, until I spotted a set of curious eyes watching me from her living room window. Without hesitation, she'd bounded out of the house and introduced herself.
Morgan Pritchett. She was two years my senior and her little sister was two years beneath me, but it didn't matter. By the end of my first month in Pasadena we'd become best friends and that status would never change. Mr. Pritchett called us the Terrible Trio, but it was always in jest. I could see tears glistening in his eyes as he hugged Morgan and me goodbye at the airport.
My eyes stung as I pictured him wrapping his arm around a sniffling Jody and waving us off at the gate.
Why did I leave them again?
The seatbelt sign dinged and the plane erupted with movement. Morgan was up and out of her seat in a second, her long body stretching high to lift our bags down. I stood awkwardly from my seat, trying not to stumble as I inched my way into the aisle. She passed my bag down to me, and I hefted it onto my shoulder, nearly getting pushed to the floor by the man in front of me. My face smashed into Morgan's chest.
“Sorry,” I mumbled, pushing back and righting myself.
She chuckled and then put on her indignant face as she nudged the guy in front of me. “Watch it.”
He turned to give her some snide remark, but his features changed when he took her in. Yes, Morgan was tall, like nearly five-foot-ten tall. Her sharp, brown gaze could pierce iron, and she had a way about her that screamed, “Don't mess with me. I will ruin you.”
The guy backed off, finally having enough space to maneuver himself down the aisle. I grinned up at my friend before turning and shuffling after him.
