Impossible Choices Series

Corinne needs time to do some serious thinking. But with the storm still raging fiercely outside, it's hard to get the space she needs in the rather small cabin. Locking herself in the room she shares with Liam seems like the best choice, and for awhile, she has some peace and quiet. However, sorting out her emotions over what happened between her and the three gorgeous men she was currently sharing space with was not exactly an easy task. Although she thoroughly enjoyed herself, she can't help but feel hurt by the fact that Liam so casually shared her with others...even his own brothers. It makes her feel cheap and unappreciated. Her thoughts and emotions swirl like mad, imitating the chaos outside, until finally she falls into a fitful sleep. She isn't left alone for all that long. Liam is not deterred by a small lock on a bedroom door and quickly intrudes on her space. He seems to think he's given her enough space for one evening, and he not only wants to sleep in his own bed, but wants all that comes along with sleeping next to a beautiful woman. Corrine is not in a place where she can even speak to him yet without sounding angry, but Liam hardly seems to notice that she's upset with him. They have a small fight, but when she tries to leave, Liam won't let her. And despite being furious and hurt, Corinne finds she still cannot resist his touch and his attention. He quickly seduces her and takes what he wants, as if claiming territory. When the passion cools, he tries to pull her into his arms to cuddle as if nothing has changed but Corinne manages to resist this time. Still upset and needing space that seems hard to find, she storms out of the room. The living room is not ideal, but at least while the others sleep, she can have some time to herself. Or so she believes. But just before dozing off, a shape makes its way to her blankets. Tensing for another argument with Liam, she's surprised to find Owen crouching in front of her, looking concerned. Looking into his beautiful face, remembering his touch and how it felt when she was with him, she realizes she's not angry with him at all. When he suddenly kisses her, all thoughts slide away, and she finds herself getting swept away in a sea of passion that will change things forever. *This story is intended for adult audiences.

As morning rolls around, Corinne realizes that the events of the day and night before had not been some sort of amazing dream. When she comes face to face with an irritated Liam while still in the arms of Owen, she realizes that it maybe have been all too real. She has no way to explain her actions, not that Liam wants any. He's only interested in one thing...claiming his territory. She belongs to him, and no one else, and he'd determined to prove it. Corinne doesn't fight him. There seems little point, even if she takes offense to him calling her property. When Owen wakes up, things turn a little ugly. The boys start fighting while she is literally trapped between them. Corinne can't help but feel uncomfortable. It should be flattering being fought over by two gorgeous men, but it just makes her upset and angry. They make her feel used and unappreciated. They both think they are in the right, and the argument gets heated enough to wake up Tristan, who surprises them all enough that Corinne is able to wiggle out from between the argument, temporarily forgetting that she's not dressed. Tristan doesn't seem to mind, his eyes instantly locking onto her body as she tries to flee from the room. He stops her, though, and demands to know what's going on. From there, the argument gets more heated, and Corinne ends up getting extremely angry. So much so that she ends up storming out of the cabin in only a jacket and a pair of boots. Despite the fact that the weather hasn't improved, she wants to get away from all of them. She has no idea where she's headed, all that matters is that she gets away from Liam and Owen and their pointless argument. It doesn't take long, though, for the freezing wind and icy rain to make her regret her hasty retreat from the warm cabin. She briefly considers going back inside, but when one of the men abruptly catches up to her, she finds her stubborn streak winning over her rational side. She won't go back without a fight. And Tristan, the only one to notice her leaving in the first place, won't let her stay out in the dangerous storm. He picks her up and physically drags her back inside...except he doesn't take them to the cabin. Instead, he brings her to the woodshed so that she can calm down away from the harsh elements. Corinne is grateful for his interference, if a little wary. She knows that Tristan is as interested in her as the others, and as much as she hates to admit it, she feels something similar. She tries to keep her distance, but when she starts to shake uncontrollably, she's forced to let Tristan try to warm her up. And before too long, things get a lot more steamy than one would expect in a unheated woodshed as she gives up trying to resist him. She might not know what the future holds for her, but one thing has become painfully clear to Corinne: She cannot choose between them anymore. It's all three or nothing...and she's not willing to settle for nothing. *This book contains adult content and is intended for an adult audience only. 18+ strongly recommended.
