    About this ebook

    Patience truly is a virtue.

    As the baby of the family, veterinarian Mary Meyers is used to being overlooked and overshadowed. Back home, she indulges in a one-night stand with her eldest brother's friend. He's more than she thought he would be, but she isn't sure she's ready for another commitment.

    Ron Glennon falls hard and fast for the youngest Meyers child. He wants more than just a clandestine relationship with her but she's hesitant. He backs off and lets her have her way even though it's killing him inside. Finally, the time comes for her to choose. Will he get to keep her after she's returned to The Edge?

    Reader advisory: This book is part of a series and is best read in order.

      Chapter One

      Mary Meyers cracked her neck as she walked up the old stairs to her apartment. It would be nice to be home early. Perhaps even she could call Damion and see if he’d like to do something this evening. She closed her eyes for a brief moment and fought off a yawn. Maybe not. She was exhausted and the thought of dealing with her boyfriend and hearing him whine about his life wasn’t appealing right now. Okay, it wasn’t ever appealing, but even more so right now. It had been a shit day.

      She unlocked her door and shuffled into the apartment. It was small and tidy. Pushing the door closed behind her with one foot, she paused when unidentified sounds reached her. What the fuck? Is someone in here? Mary reached for the Louisville Slugger she always kept by the door, just in case, and made her way back to her bedroom, flexing her fingers on the grip.
