Ava
has watched her parents, Caleb and Maggie, live the perfect fairy tale, the
perfect love story, played out in front of her eyes her entire life. Her family
is love, life, and happiness. The Jacobsons are everything a family should be
and Ava is loved and well taken care of. But the one thing that’s missing from
her life is the one thing she’s waited for every day, the one thing her kind
knows will make them complete, the one thing they thought was gone and lost
forever.
Her significant.
Seth
has lived with the Watsons his entire life. They’re the only family he knows,
but he knows that there are things they keep from him. He knows that they lie
and they do unspeakable evil, things from when he was a child that he can
barely remember that cling to the edges of his memory. He barely remembers his
real mother and all he knows is what he’s told. He doesn’t know what to trust.
He wants to believe that the Watsons love and care for him, have his best
interest at heart, but isn’t so sure of that anymore when he finally—after a
lifetime of waiting for her—meets his soulmate, and the Watson’s first act is
to try to take her away from him.
The Virtuoso worlds collide, hearts are exposed,
humans are endangered, and the lives of Seth and Ava are changed forever.
They’ll have to love without judgment or reservation, they’ll have to be wise
and accepting beyond their years, they’ll have to forgive for things before
they’ve even happened, they’ll have to trust without seeing, have faith without
knowing, and they’ll have to light their own way in the dark when everyone else
is blind to show them the way. And more than anything else…
they’ll
fight like hell to keep each other.
And a little tease... :)
“I don’t know if I can even sleep
tonight,” I muttered and rubbed at my arms. They were restless. “I can already
feel myself twitching.”
“Tomorrow…” Dad began, but stopped. He
sighed forcefully and tightened his fists. “I’ll go find him and make him come
here if he doesn’t come on his own.”
“Dad, you didn’t see him. He was…” I
bit into my lip hard. Just talking about him was making me ache all over. I
closed my eyes and tried to breathe.
I heard Mom say, “Baby, I think we
need to stop talking about this. It’s just making things worse for her.”
“I know, but…maybe I should go over
there. Maybe I should try to find him and—you know what? No.” I looked up to
find him looking down at me. “I’m not going to do that. It has to be his choice
until it’s not. I’ll give him until tomorrow to be the good guy. If he doesn’t,
then I’ll go get him and make him. I can tell by looking at you that you want
to have faith in him.”
“You didn’t see him, Dad,” I
reiterated. “He wanted this. He was worried about me. He’ll come. He’ll find
me.” I hoped. “If what you said is true, then he didn’t choose any of what
happened. He’s not a Watson.”
“But he’s lived with them his whole
life,” Mom reasoned. “We have no idea the things they’ve done to him, the
things they’ve made him do. We have to be cautious. You have to cautious.” She went into the kitchen and I heard a pill
bottle shake before she came back. “Here. Take these. They’ll help you sleep
tonight. They were Grans,” she said softly.
I ached as the pills went down. I
heard Rodney coming in the back door loudly. Dad went right to him and put his
hand on his chest to stop him. They whispered back and forth and Rodney looked
at me over Dad’s shoulder. Dad wasn’t going to be able to stop him. He didn’t
know that, but I did.
“Come on, Dad,” Rodney said gruffly
and looked at him right in his face. “Move.”
He pushed his Champion gently in the
shoulder and I watched Dad’s stunned face as he watched Rodney come and sweep me up in his big brotherly arms on
the couch. He said low in my ear, but I knew that they still could hear, “Tell
me who I have to hurt. Who is this guy and why isn’t he here with you right
now?”
I looked at Dad and he looked so
amused and bemused all at once. He waved me on and leaned his hip against the
counter, pulling Mom into the ‘v’ of his legs so he could wrap his arms around
her from behind. I heard her so sigh loud and hated that I was causing them so
much distress.
“Seth,” I explained. “Seth Watson,” I
said with as much gumption as I could muster.
His eyes rounded. I told him
everything and he tightened his arms on me as he listened.
“Okay,” he said and kicked his shoes
off the end of the couch. Mom was two seconds from scolding him when he asked,
“So where is he? He should be here.”
Like fate usually worked, there was a knock on the front door. An insistent knock. Dad shot me a look before taking a loaded breath. I started to shake and stood from the couch quickly. It was him; I knew it like I knew my own name.

“Ava, wait,” he told me.
“Dad.”
“You, sit,” he said in his Champion
voice. “I’ll answer and let him in. What if the Watsons were planning something
and knew you’d run to the door to answer it thinking it was him? We know
nothing about him yet. Until we do, we go at this with caution.” I sighed. I
hated that I had to look at my significant with anything but reverence, but
Daddy was right. I mean, I was the one that had run right out of the coffee
shop this afternoon. “I mean it, baby girl,” he said softly.
Rodney turned me to look at him and
held my upper arms in his hands. “If he hurts you, I can’t be held accountable for
what I do.”
“I love you, you know that?” I replied
and kissed his cheek. I tried to smile, but think I failed epically when he put
one arm around my shoulders and tugged me close, as if to shield me from
whatever or whoever was coming.
Dad had to know I was anxious—he
didn’t make me wait. He went to the door quickly. I could hear them in the
other room with deep, urgent tones. My significant.
And then there he was.
