Synopsis
Keegan was my world since I was six years old. When he walked out of my life, I was certain I would never see him again. He broke my heart, but truthfully I only have myself to blame. Now I’m looking into his incredibly beautiful blue eyes. He came back into my life as quickly as he left. Both of us have changed over the years, but I can’t imagine living another day without him.
My name is Aimee, and this is the story of how I lost and found my best friend and love of my life. The journey may be tough but there is no denying that Keegan, and I were destined to be together. He rescued me the day we met and had always been my prince charming. One thing I’m sure of, I’m not letting my happily ever after get away this time.

Excerpt
I close my eyes while he opens the door then slowly leads me into the space, the anticipation of what heβs going to show me making me feel like Iβm floating on air.
We move around something, and then he lets go of my hand and walks away for a second, moving something around. Both of his hands then touch my hips, and Iβm guided down to sit on his lap.
βKeegan,β I yelp, the action having surprised me.
βIβm going to count to five, Aimee, and then you can open those beautiful eyes.β His deep and commanding voice starts counting, βOne β¦ two β¦ three β¦ four β¦ five.β
My eyes remain tightly shut as I feel his beating heart against my back, matching mine.
He laughs and puts both arms around me, holding me close with his chin on my shoulder, and I can feel his breath on my neck. I suddenly break out in goose bumps.
βItβs okay. Open them,β he whispers in my ear.
I slowly open my eyes, seeing we are sitting directly in front of his expansive window. The scene in front of me is one of beauty. I am facing the New York sky, the stars twinkling above and lights of different colors below us. I can see everything for miles, the entire city. Itβs the most amazing view I have ever seen. The buildings and sky fit together like the perfect puzzle. The view at night is more glorious than I ever imagined, just as Keegan mentioned during his interview.
βThis is β¦ just β¦ no words, Keegan.β Although him sharing this with me makes me feel something in my heart, I canβt find the words to describe it.
He holds me a little tighter. βI know. You donβt have to say anything.β
βThank you for showing this to me,β I whisper.
βYouβre welcome,β He replies in another whisper.
βNo, really, thank you. I could sit here all night, looking at this.β I tell him, imagining how beautiful this scene would be watching the sun rise. Of course, what would make it special is watching it together.
βI have actually looked out these windows and watched the city all night.β
βBy yourself?β I ask.
βIβve never shared this with anyone until now.β
βReally?β
βYes. As if I would even want to be here with anyone else.β
I melt into him. How could this man be any more perfect?
