Reflections of You (Fallen Brook #4)

Prologue

ELIZABETH

Where do I even begin?

It’s funny how life plays out sometimes. I think the ancient Greeks had it right with their belief that the Fates controlled everyone’s destinies. Those fickle bitches. They’ve been pulling the strings of my life and tying them into twisted knots since the day I was born.

I was a woman destined to love more than one man.

Two of them were my childhood best friends.

Jayson Jameson and Ryder Cutton. My moonlight and my starshine.

Two boys who became my everything. Jayson was my first love.

The boy who would climb the tree next to my house and crawl through my window.

He was my first kiss. My first time. Our love was one of youth.

Exciting, reckless, and doomed to shatter into a million jagged pieces.

Ryder was my forever love. The man I chose to spend the rest of my life with.

The man who loved me so much, he was willing to let me go in order to find my happiness.

As fate would have it, my happiness was with him.

Ryder and I were soulmates in the truest sense of the word.

Soulmates recognize their other half. It’s an internal instinct that surpasses logic or reasoning because it just is.

From the day I met him when I was nine years old, my heart knew Ryder was mine, but my soul knew he would be my forever.

And then there was Fallon Montgomery. The cerulean-eyed villain in my love story. Or so I thought. Our destiny would become another trick of fate. The villain turned hero. The beautifully damaged man whose darkness somehow saved me and destroyed me in equal measure.

My life has been shaped by these three men, their love the most magnificent watercolor painted upon the canvas of my soul. A love with the ability to turn the ordinary into the extraordinary and the broken into beautiful.

I just never knew the road to love would be paved in so much heartbreak.
