THE BIRTHDAY LIST
By Devney Perry
Standalone
Happily married to her college sweetheart, Poppy lived a blessed life with the husband of her dreams. Then everything changed. She is no longer a wife. She is no longer the envy of her single friends. Now, people look at her with pity as they whisper a single word behind her back.
Widow.
Years after her husband’s tragic death, years of pain and sorrow and wishing for the life she’ll never get back, Poppy decides to finish Jamie’s birthday list. She’ll do the things he wanted to most. Because maybe, just maybe, if she can complete his list, she can start to live again.
Poppy expects going through the birthday list will be hard. She expects it to hurt. But what she doesn’t expect is Cole. Could the man who delivered the news of her husband’s death and shattered her heart be the one to help her put it back together again?
PRE- ORDER NOW
“I hear you’re saying yes to everything today?” I chased a bite of macaroni with some water.
She nodded, smiling again as she chewed.
“A guy could take advantage of that.”
Her chewing stopped and her blue eyes snapped to
mine.
“Me, for example. I could use this to get exactly
what I want.”
I didn’t miss the way her eyes flared, and damn, it was sexy. If things were
farther along—if this were a year from now and we were in a different place—I
could have used this game to have her moaning yes all night long. But we weren’t there, and I wasn’t a complete
asshole.
But I did love to tease.
“Poppy,” I whispered, leaning closer.
Her breaths were shallow as she waited.
“Will you bring me both the mixed berry and the apple pie?”
She blinked twice, then a hand flew over her
mouth—still full of salad—covering it as she laughed. “Yes.”
I grinned, sitting back in my chair and digging
into my food. “Maybe you can tell me more about this list too? It seems like
every time I see you you’re on to something new.”
Her hand fell. “You really want to know?”
“I really want to know.”
