About The Way We Fall:
From New York Times bestselling author Cassia Leo comes a twisted and
passionate love story that pushes the boundaries of loyalty.
Maybe we shouldn’t have fallen so
fast and so willingly.
Maybe we shouldn’t have moved in
together before we went on our first date.
Maybe we should have given our
wounds time to heal before we tore each other to shreds.
Maybe we should have never been
together.
Houston has kept a devastating
secret from Rory since the day he took her into his home. But the tragic
circumstances that brought them together left wounds too deep to heal.
Five years after the breakup,
Houston and Rory are thrust together by forces beyond their control. And all
the resentments and passion return with more intensity than ever.
Once again, Houston is left with a choice
between the truth and the only girl he’s ever loved.
The
Way We Fall is
the first book in The Story of Us Series, which follows the tumultuous love
story of Rory and Houston. The sequel, The Way We Break, will be
released Spring 2015.
Available for $0.99 only during preorder and for the first
48 hours after release.
Exclusive Excerpt:
“I need to talk to you about the work
situation,” he says as he follows me out. “I got the contract, but I want to
make sure you’re okay with this before I sign it.”
“You want to know if I’ll be okay working with
you?”
I slide the key into the doorknob and Houston
places his hand over mine to stop me from turning the knob. “I can’t go in
there with you. Please stay out here until we’re done talking.”
I shake his hand off and turn around to face
him. “There’s nothing to talk about. You have to sign the contract. The way I
feel about working with you shouldn’t matter.”
“But it does matter. I don’t want to
upset you. You were there first.”
I can’t help but laugh. “So this is a
territorial thing? You think because I was there first that I have some sort of
right to keep you out?” His left eyebrow shoots up the way it always does when
he’s confused and it nearly renders me mute. “Houston, if I didn’t work there
you wouldn’t think twice about signing that contract. So that’s what you should
do. Just… please stop making this into something it isn’t. We hardly know each
other anymore, and that’s the way it’s going to remain.”
He swallows hard as he lets this sink in. “I
guess you’re right. I’m sorry I bothered you. I only wanted to… Never mind.
I’ll get going. I have to get up early to go sign that contract. Not that you
care.”
He shakes his head in disappointment as he walks
away and I’m glad I don’t have anything solid in my hand other than Skippy’s leash
or I might throw it at the back of his head. So I’m the one who doesn’t
care? Ugh. Typical Houston and his endless psychological games.
Maybe I should have told him to walk away from
the contract, but that would have meant admitting that he still has a strong
hold over me. It also would have been the truth and the truth has never gotten
me into trouble. In fact, the truth is something my previous relationship with
Houston was sorely lacking.
Nevertheless, I don’t need to right the wrongs
we made while we were together. I don’t need to tell Houston that the sight of
him makes my throat dry and my stomach flutter. He doesn’t need to know that I
still go to sleep with scenes from our life together playing on repeat in my
mind. Or that sometimes I wake up with his name tumbling from my lips, the
remnants of dreams where he never left and nightmares where he hovers just out
of reach.
Before Wednesday, the last time I had seen
Houston was the day after he met me at the Planned Parenthood clinic. I didn’t
ask him to come, and I don’t know how he found the date and time of my
appointment, but he was there when we pulled into the parking lot. Lisa, a girl
from my Social Inequality class whom I’d had coffee with a couple of times, had
graciously agreed to take me to the clinic. The moment I saw him leaning
against his truck, I knew I had to send Lisa home. Houston would insist on
taking me back to the apartment after the procedure, to watch over me.
It was the last thing I wanted, to have Houston
doting over me after terminating the pregnancy. But it was also the only thing
I wanted. It was as if he was performing the last rites on our dead
relationship.
