Excerpt Reveal: Only Ever Yours by Nikki Ash

***Excerpt Reveal***

I open the door and find my best friend standing there with a big smile on her face. “Good morning.” Her voice is chipper, too chipper, but since she extends her hand with a venti cup of coffee from Starbucks, I ignore it, taking the caffeinated beverage from her. I haven’t had Starbucks in God knows how long. That shit is for the rich… and I’m far from it.
I inhale the sweet aroma and then take a slow sip, savoring the taste of peppermint mocha hitting my senses. It doesn’t matter that it’s May, peppermint mocha can be drunk all year because it’s that good.
Once I’ve taken another couple sips, I glance at Yasmin. “Why did you buy me this?”
There’s only one reason someone as poor as us buys someone a seven-dollar cup of coffee: to kiss one’s ass before asking for a favor.“
Can’t I just buy my favorite friend a delicious cup of coffee?” She plops onto my gray microfiber couch—one of the few things I was allowed to take with me when I was forced to leave my home. “Oh, I got you this too.” She hands me a brown bag.
When I open it up, I gasp. “Banana loaf?” That single piece of bread is like four dollars! “What the hell do you want?” I sit in my reading chair and break a piece of the bread off, popping it into my mouth. Mmm… so delicious and moist. The sweet taste of the banana and cinnamon…Yasmin shakes her head. “You’re right, I do have a favor to ask.”
“I knew it.” I side-eye her playfully. “Let me enjoy my coffee and bread first at least.”
She giggles, her green eyes lighting up with mirth. “You’re such a coffee addict.”
“Not coffee, Starbucks. If you had brought me Dunkin’, I would’ve kicked your ass out.”

Camilla
Desperate times call for desperate measures—like pretending to be my best friend and posing as a millionaire’s escort for the night.

I thought I had nothing left to lose, only I didn’t take my heart into consideration. What started as a one-time date turned into so much more in the blink of an eye. Because Isaac is used to getting what he wants, and even after learning the truth, he wants me. Unconditionally.

Even though my heart is on the line, I find myself falling in love with him. But all too soon, I learn that loving a powerful man like Isaac can be dangerous. And despite how careful he is with my heart, it’s still capable of breaking.

Isaac
From the moment we met, she’s taken up residence in my head and in my heart. I’ll do everything in my power to make her mine. But first, I need to secure a second date.

It’s more than chemistry. My parents had this too. She’s the one. Marriage, babies, forever… I want it all with her, and in return, I’ll give her the world.

When the unimaginable happens, love and loyalty are put to the test. But I’ll move heaven and earth to protect Camilla… even if it means breaking her heart.
