A Connection Series Novella featuring Ben Covington
The story before the love story….
When he lost the only woman he’d ever loved, it seemed there was nothing left to live for.
Even as a boy, all Ben Covington ever wanted was to spend forever with Dahlia London, the beautiful girl next door…then one life-altering decision tore them apart and he was forced to leave her.
Now, despite having returned to win her back, he’s still alone. She’s with someone else—someone she’s never going to leave.
Resigned to a future without his former girlfriend, Ben numbs his broken heart in a haze of liquor and women. But then the only woman who ever even turned his head while he was with his girl reappears unexpectedly. And he’s never forgotten their one incredible night together. But will Ben’s destructive behavior destroy his future with her before it even begins?

Reviewer’s Thoughts
I was not overly impressed with this book. It had alot of flashback scenes that made it difficult to follow. It did not feel like a romantic read, but more a wishing for what could have been. Due to a pending drug cartel investigation and trial, Ben (the main mail character) has to up root his life and go into hiding with a new identity. He returns to his prior life and home town hoping that his life and girlfriend will be waiting for him, but of course he finds everyone has moved on and he has a hard time doing the same. This story basically tells how he deals with the loss of years in hiding and how he tries to move on with his life.
