We've all been there... We fell in love with someone only to find that they turned to someone else. They might have just dated that person instead of us, or even married them. We believed they weren't ever going to be ours...but sometimes Fate has a way of changing things. This is what happens in Once and Again, Book 2 in The Once Series by MS. Kaye. Fate is a cruel mistress at times.... Excerpt “You’re studying to be a priest?” He made himself meet her eyes. “I am a priest.” She let go of his hand and stepped back. Her smiled was tight. “I’m glad you found your path.” Quiet. He couldn’t quite read her expression. The distance between them felt like a gorge chiseled into the earth. “Are you all right, Maylynn?” he asked. “I’m really happy for you.” Then she added, “Father Aiden.” For some reason, her words stabbed him in the gut. He usually liked when people used his title—it seemed to imply a certain amount of trust. “I’m sorry, Maylynn.” He wasn’t entirely sure why he was apologizing. He just didn’t like to see her uncomfortable. “I’m happy for you,” she repeated. Then he realized what the problem was. He hadn’t anticipated this. He moved closer. “I’m so sorry.” Her forced smile finally dropped. “Why didn’t you tell me sooner?” “It didn’t occur to me…” “That I might be attracted to you?” “Yes.” “Why aren’t you wearing your collar?” Anger prickled the edge of her voice. “My mother’s last wish was that I find my father. I’ve been following her notes. She was convinced he was somewhere in this area.” “Wait… Your mother’s name was Adalina?” He nodded. With the number of times the shelter was mentioned in the notes, he figured his mother and Maylynn had met. A pause. Anger flashed in her eyes. “You still should’ve told me.” “I’m sorry.” “Why’d you play with me like that?” “I swear that wasn’t my intent.” “You knew damn well what was going on. Was it a game—see if you still had it? If you could still get the chicks?” Under the anger in her eyes, he saw the hurt. He swore he could feel it exactly, as if it was his own. He shifted even closer, just in front of her. “I’m sorry,” he said again. His voice lowered, quieted. “I didn’t see what you were feeling because I was fighting so hard myself. I still am.” “Fighting what?” “What I felt the first time I saw you, what I’m still feeling.” She waited, glaring at him. “I’m attracted to you,” he said. “Intensely.” Aren't you just dying to find out more?? Here's the cover and blurb.... She was once his secret desire…will she be again? Father Aiden, an ex-marine and new priest, falls in love with Maylynn, but he struggles to stay away from her.
