Synopsis
Perfection. One word. Three syllables. Every reason why I’ll never have
the one thing I truly want. I stand dutifully on the pedestal he’s built, waiting for the day he truly sees
me.
Then one amazing night, he lets down his walls, only to leave me the
next day.
Years have passed, and I’ve tried to move on with my life. But I still
dream of him. I still miss him everyday. The memories haunt me. How can I look to the future when my
past remains a mystery? The time has come to find the boy who stole my heart and ran away without a
word.
But not everyone who is lost wants to be found.
My name is Alexandra Fontaine, and this is my story of unfinished love.
Wings Over Poppies is book #2 in The Over Series and can be read as a
standalone novel.

Excerpt
I shift closer to him and wrap my arms around his waist. I lay my head on
his chest and breathe him in. His shoulders relax, if only slightly. The need to comfort him is
overwhelming. I want to wash it all away for him, hold the world at bay while I erase the worry
permanently etched in his forehead.
“Everything is going to be okay, West. I just know it,” I lie. I don’t know
that everything will be okay. I don’t know anything at all.
We sit in electrified silence, the crackling of dead leaves under us the
only sound. I memorize the feel of him, the smell of him, the rhythm of his breathing. I’m lost in the
moment, already anticipating the loss that’s to come.
“I leave in a month.”
The words cut through the silence like a judgment. Instead of hurt, I’m
filled with resolve. I won’t let him push me away anymore. I’m done playing by his rules.
I rise up to meet the storm brewing in his eyes. His hand wraps firmly
around my neck, and his eyes dart hungrily to my lips. I swallow nervously and refuse to look
away.
If he turns his head or pulls my hair, I swear I’m going to tackle him
to the ground.
I lean in hopefully, somewhat expectantly, and close my eyes. His warm
breath dances across my lips, and my every prayer is answered. He presses his mouth firmly to mine and
stills, almost memorizing the moment.
That one small touch is the beginning of the most memorable kiss of my
life. It’s hello and goodbye, I love you, I’ll miss you, and everything in between.
He sucks my bottom lip, and I inhale sharply, completely overcome. His
hands dive into my hair, and his tongue slides against mine just once before he pulls away. He touches
my forehead to his and chuckles softly.
“What have we been waiting for all this time?”
“You,” I whisper breathlessly, “I’ve been waiting for you.”
My admission is all he needs. He devours me, a tangle of lips, teeth,
tongues, and hands. I don’t know where I end and he begins. I’m exhilarated and relieved all at
once.
I run my hands down his arms and grip his wrists tightly. I pull away and
look into his hooded eyes.
“Tell me something, West. Tell me something I don’t know.”
He runs a thumb over my swollen lips while he studies me. I’ve never felt
more loved, more worshipped.
“I can’t imagine a world without you in it. No matter where I am, I’ll
always dream of you. It’ll have to be enough.” He places soft, scorching kisses up my neck until he
reaches my ear. “God, I don’t think it’ll ever be enough.”
