Thankful Synopsis
This is not a fairy
tale, it is life. So please excuse the
mess and enjoy the ride.
Warning: Do not read
Thankful until you have read Changing Fate.
The Broken Roads is a series and should be read in order. Do not read Thankful if you can’t handle real
life smacking you in the face, sheet igniting passion, and roller coaster
emotions that turn you every way but loose.
You will need to be prepared for laughter, tears, holding your breath
and sweltering heat.
The Broken Roads Series is about love in all forms, it is about family
not being just about blood, and finding the strength to overcome your past to
have a chance at a Happy Ever After in the future.

*Changing Fate Bonus Scene*
This takes place the night at the club
when Zack and Kate double date with Ray and Rachel. The scene is from Zack’s Point of View.
I could not have been more anxious to
get the girls and get to the club tonight.
I rushed Ray all afternoon once I got to his Condo and he told me the
plan. I couldn’t wait to get my hands on
my feisty little play date. Kate… Her name is Kate and did man did I really
want to play twister with her.
There’s an idea…Twister
bed sheets!
When she opened the door and I saw her
standing there in that red dress and those shoes. Shit!
I nearly blew my load right there in front of her parents and half the
neighborhood. I should have bought a
fire extinguisher when I stopped to buy condoms. This chick is going to make me burst into
flames.
I sit in the chair beside her as
Rachel and Ray head off to dance. “Play nice kids.” Ray teases.
OH you have no idea…
Maybe if I ask real nice, she will let me play right here? Yeah I’m an asshole I know, but I’m not
thinking with the head that has a brain in it right now…
After a major junk adjustment and a
long uncomfortable silence I smile at Kate. “So Babe, what does it take to get
into your VIP lounge?” I ask as I run my fingers up her thigh.
A smile spreads across her face and
she stands to her feet, coming to stand in front of me. My mouth is watering at the thought of her
straddling me right here, then she slams her heeled foot into my already
throbbing crotch. “Shit! OW!” I yelp, as she twists her spiked heel apparently
carving her name across my dick. Her
eyes meet mine and I can’t help but get lost in those deep browns.
“Listen here you arrogant
bastard. When I let you passed the
velvet barrier, you won’t ever want to leave.
Chill with the cocky bullshit. It
doesn’t work on me.” Turning away she sits back down and crosses one leg over
the other and I swear I die a little when her dress rides up almost revealing
her ass.
“My God Sweetheart, I don’t think I
have ever been this turned on in my entire life. “ I groan as her eyes rake
over my body.
“I hate you.” She snaps.
“I want you to.” I reply, because I do
I want her to hate me really hard!
Leaping into my lap, she slams her
mouth down onto mine and my dick is banging on my zipper like the police at a
crack house raid. She yanks my hair as I
slide my hands up, pulling her harder against me. She pulls away just as quickly and I
seriously wanna cry for my dick right now.
He is SO being lead on here, he doesn’t understand the game Kate and I
are playing… Hell I don’t either but I am loving this shit! No one challenges me, no one says
no…ever. I mean shit I am Zack
Mitchell!
Kate settles back in her chair and
completely unaffected reapplies her lip gloss.
I am panting and all I want to do is go caveman and drag her the hell
out of here. “I want to dance Zack, I want to have a conversation, and maybe
even breakfast.” She starts as she closes her bag and meets my eyes. “Then I
will wreck you, ruin you and make you scream.” She says calmly and…yep my heart
stopped. MEDIC MAN DOWN!
“I’ll give you my first born and
anything else you want except my car if you will come home with me right now.”
I say dropping to my knees in front of her.
“I’m worth it… You wait baby because you’ll give it all to
me anyway and then some.” She deadpans as she runs her thumb across my
lips. Holy shit… I have no doubt. What
is happening to me? I usually couldn’t
give two shits. Once they say no, I am
done and moving on to the next fine piece of ass. With Kate, I want to drag it out, and enjoy
it. I want to see where it goes with us,
what we can have.
“Come on Kate, dance with me
Sweetheart?” I beg. Holy hell! This chick has me
begging and not for sex, she has me begging to dance?
She grins, knowing she has me and damn
it she does. She has me by the balls.
“Only because you ask so nicely.” She replies.
After she talks to her sister and Ray
reminds me once again not to be an asshole, they leave and Kate drags me to the
dance floor, and somewhere along the way since I met her I think I lost the
heart I didn’t think I had.

“There is something about love, the true kind of love that puts off such heat
and emotion. It makes your stomach roll and your heart clench. It completely
knocks your feet out from under you. That feeling where you don’t know whether
to laugh, cry, or throw something. That is what I want to write about, what I
want to capture; that is life. It is real.”
