<b>Merci...</b> <p>My husband Paul continually beat me down, and I was shattered because of it. Somewhere I'd heard the phrase <i>'When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.'</i> Me, I went for the hard stuff, Fireball Whiskey. <p>And that's what sent me straight into the arms of Ryan West. That and the reality that he was kind, gorgeous, and incredibly sweet. Did I mention hot? <p>He made one thing clear for me, I couldn't stay with my abusive husband, or he would crush my spirit. I deserved so much more, and thanks to Ryan, I had the desire to go for it. <p><b>Ryan...</b> <p>The weekend was here again, and I sat alone at the bar. One of these days, Tricia, would push me too hard, and I'd leave her for good. <i>Wishful thinking will get you nowhere, old man.</i> <p>If my marriage wasn't so unsatisfactory, maybe I wouldn't have noticed the blonde with the incredible legs. She looked like a fish out of water as she floundered in those heels in her hurry to get to the bar. <p>I did my best to focus on something - anything else but that beautiful woman. Instead, I order her another fireball whiskey. I didn't know it then, but because of my actions, nothing in my life would ever be the same again... <p><b>Get ready for the ride of your life. Will this be the end or the beginning for Merci and Ryan? </b>
