Agonizing Desire by Dana Arden

Melanie
I had it all; family, friends, career and a man I thought I’d spend the rest of my life with. But that all changed, when he chose a new job in a city across the globe over me. He didn’t allow me the time to scrutinize the possibility of moving with him. He just took off as though I was an afterthought.Months later, I realized that I was just an afterthought. I was readily available to him and I wasn’t an important enough aspect in his life to be a priority. He was up for anything that benefited him and when it didn’t, he was gone with the wind.I deserved better.Joel showed me as much until my past came back to haunt us and soil our relationship.

Joel
I’m not a stalker—I promise, but my infatuation with Melanie for years was agonizing. My desire for her was daunting. The timing was always off when it came to approaching her and making a go at it. Then I had my opportunity and I ran with it, full throttle.The chance was revitalizing until her past reared its ugly head and tried to destroy what we were building.We deserved more.
