The Regret

The Heartache Series Book Two

by Vicki Green

Regrets can make you strong,

Regrets can make you weak,

Some regrets you can never get over

Tanner Clark is different than most people. He seems mysterious to most, keeping his secrets close and not trusting many. The one regret in his life will haunt him until he can find a way to make amends. Will this be another regret he’ll make, and one that cannot be undone? His life takes an unexpected turn when he follows a girl to a small town and rents the apartment next to hers. She’s different than most women. Strong, defiant, has tattoos and piercings, but she’s making it very hard for him to get to know her.

Jolie Ross has had a rough childhood, one she’d soon rather forget. When she follows the one person who she ended up trusting in college, and who became the first friend she’s truly ever had, she finds a better life in a small town working at a gym. Her life finally takes a turn for the better. Good job, nice apartment, until a mysterious dark haired man, with tattoos and piercings, walks into the gym. He becomes a personal trainer there, but she’s leery of his secrecy. She decides it’s best to keep her distance. She doesn’t want any more regrets.

Can two people who are so similar yet, so different, stay away from each other or will fate lend a hand and show them that there doesn’t always have to be regrets?

Acknowledgments

To my husband, Dean, our boys C.J. and Cole: Thank you for your love, your support, and all the times I’ve stayed up late writing, the times you fended for yourselves for dinner, the times I’ve been away from you at signing events but most of all for your unconditional love. You are my life.

To my amazing Editor: Thank you, Kathy, for always fitting me into your schedule even when you’re booked solid. You’re always there for me, not only to edit my books, but as a friend.

To my genius cover designer: Kari, you amaze and astound me every time you design a cover for me. I mean it with my heart when I say you’re a genius. You always find time for me, know exactly what I’m looking for, even when I’m not sure myself.

To my friend and great photographer: Golden, even though I banned myself from your photography page (Ha), you are a master of photography and I’m so thankful for not only for your great eye and skill with a camera but for your friendship.

To my friend and cover model: Shawn, you have a great talent. Not only with your appearance, and always striving to be better and reach your goals, but, you help others to achieve theirs as well. That says a ton about you and I’m grateful to know you and for your friendship. Thank you for coming up with Jase’s gym name ‘Battle Ground’.

To my loving readers: I always say how appreciative I am that you read my stories but, I have no other way to express what I feel. To receive messages about how much people love my words, how they take them away even for a little while, immerse themselves and can’t wait to read the next, humbles me beyond belief. I thank you for your loyalty and support.
