We are so excited that DREW + FABLE FOREVER is now available for purchase! This novella is part of Monica Murphy's One Week Girlfriend Series and only .99 for a limited time!!!
Monica Murphy returns with her most beloved
characters, Drew and Fable, in this eBook original short story that brings her
bestselling New Adult series full circle.
Fantasy. How I ended up with NFL
player Drew Callahan, the guy every woman wants, is beyond my wildest dreams.
All I know is that once he chose me as his one and only, I sure wasn’t looking
back. I had past wounds and he showed patience and concern—even accepting
responsibility for my messed-up kid brother. Now, yet again, he's found a way
to blow my mind: an exotic wedding and honeymoon miles and miles away from
home. What else could a girl ever ask for?
Reality. Except now the honeymoon’s
over. Drew's football schedule takes him on the road constantly, while I need
to stay put and look after my brother until he finishes high school—because God
knows our sorry excuse for a mother won’t. I know Drew loves me with all his
heart, and I’ll always be over the moon about him. This just isn’t how I
imagined life as newlyweds . . . dealing with the distance, missing him
constantly. But we’ve gone through hard times before. We can get through this,
too, right? We’re Drew and Fable, together forever. At least I hope so. . . .
EXCERPT:
“We should check out Ocean Avenue tomorrow,” Drew
whispers close to my ear, amusement tingeing his deep voice.
“What? Are you serious?” Even though I’ve come to terms with
being here, it doesn’t mean I want to linger and make it a serious vacation.
Besides, Drew needs to get back home so he can resume practice.
“Well yeah, remember the spot where we kissed?” His eyes are
warm as they search my face, filled with so much love I feel my heart swell.
“Yes,” I whisper achingly. “Of course I remember.”
“I want to go back there.” He tucks a strand of hair behind
my ear, his index finger lingering on my skin. “I want to kiss you again in
that little alley and remember how wet we were from the rain. How nervous I
was. I was scared you might reject me.”
I’d felt the same way. We’d dealt with much of the same
feelings and fears and hadn’t even known it.
“I want to take you to that store where you got the dress
that just about killed me and buy you whatever you want,” he continues, his
fingers drifting across my jaw. My eyes flutter closed as memories rush back at
me. “I want to sit outside the dressing room and have you come out to show me
every single thing you’re trying on.”
That he remembers all the little details sends a thrill of
pleasure spiraling to the very depths of my soul.
“And then I want to wander off for a bit and let you do
whatever you want, secretly hoping that you’ll send me a text that says
marshmallow. Though if you don’t that’s okay because I’ll send you one
instead.” He offers up a crooked smile and the sight of it cracks my heart wide
open, overflowing with so much pure love for him I want to cry. “Because we
made a deal. Whenever we see or hear that word, the other comes running. I’ll
always be the one to rescue you, Fable. You never have to worry about that.”
