Title: The Way We Fall
Author: Cassia Leo
Genre: Contemporary romance
Release Day: February 20th
From New York Times bestselling author Cassia
Leo comes a twisted and passionate love story that pushes the boundaries of
loyalty.
Maybe we shouldn’t have fallen so
fast and so willingly.
Maybe we shouldn’t have moved in
together before we went on our first date.
Maybe we should have given our
wounds time to heal before we tore each other to shreds.
Maybe we should have never been
together.
Houston has kept a devastating
secret from Rory since the day he took her into his home. But the tragic
circumstances that brought them together left wounds too deep to heal.
Five years after the breakup,
Houston and Rory are thrust together by forces beyond their control. And all
the resentments and passion return with more intensity than ever.
Once again,
Houston is left with a choice between the truth and the only girl he’s ever
loved.
The
Way We Fall is the first book in The Story of Us Series, which follows
the tumultuous love story of Rory and Houston. The sequel, The Way We Break,
will be released Spring 2015.
Available for $0.99 only during preorder and for the first
48 hours after release.

Exclusive Excerpt:
“I need to
talk to you about the work situation,” he says as he follows me out. “I got the
contract, but I want to make sure you’re okay with this before I sign it.”
“You want
to know if I’ll be okay working with you?”
I slide
the key into the doorknob and Houston places his hand over mine to stop me from
turning the knob. “I can’t go in there with you. Please stay out here until
we’re done talking.”
I shake
his hand off and turn around to face him. “There’s nothing to talk about. You
have to sign the contract. The way I feel about working with you shouldn’t
matter.”
“But it does
matter. I don’t want to upset you. You were there first.”
I can’t
help but laugh. “So this is a territorial thing? You think because I was there
first that I have some sort of right to keep you out?” His left eyebrow shoots
up the way it always does when he’s confused and it nearly renders me mute.
“Houston, if I didn’t work there you wouldn’t think twice about signing that
contract. So that’s what you should do. Just… please stop making this into
something it isn’t. We hardly know each other anymore, and that’s the way it’s
going to remain.”
He
swallows hard as he lets this sink in. “I guess you’re right. I’m sorry I
bothered you. I only wanted to… Never mind. I’ll get going. I have to get up
early to go sign that contract. Not that you care.”
He shakes
his head in disappointment as he walks away and I’m glad I don’t have anything
solid in my hand other than Skippy’s leash or I might throw it at the back of
his head. So I’m the one who doesn’t care? Ugh. Typical Houston
and his endless psychological games.
Maybe I
should have told him to walk away from the contract, but that would have meant
admitting that he still has a strong hold over me. It also would have been the
truth and the truth has never gotten me into trouble. In fact, the truth is
something my previous relationship with Houston was sorely lacking.
Nevertheless,
I don’t need to right the wrongs we made while we were together. I don’t need
to tell Houston that the sight of him makes my throat dry and my stomach
flutter. He doesn’t need to know that I still go to sleep with scenes from our
life together playing on repeat in my mind. Or that sometimes I wake up with
his name tumbling from my lips, the remnants of dreams where he never left and
nightmares where he hovers just out of reach.
Before
Wednesday, the last time I had seen Houston was the day after he met me at the
Planned Parenthood clinic. I didn’t ask him to come, and I don’t know how he
found the date and time of my appointment, but he was there when we pulled into
the parking lot. Lisa, a girl from my Social Inequality class whom I’d had
coffee with a couple of times, had graciously agreed to take me to the clinic.
The moment I saw him leaning against his truck, I knew I had to send Lisa home.
Houston would insist on taking me back to the apartment after the procedure, to
watch over me.
It was the
last thing I wanted, to have Houston doting over me after terminating the
pregnancy. But it was also the only thing I wanted. It was as if he was
performing the last rites on our dead relationship.
