       Prologue

       “I wish I’d never met you,” she muttered as she ripped clothes from hangers, tossing them into a tattered suitcase.

       “Jasmine, I’m sorry you feel that way,” Austin DuGrandpre responded. “The truth is that we’re toxic together, so it’s best to end things now.”

       A cold, congested expression settled on her face as she hurled a string of profanity back at him.

       Jasmine was leaving town with her best friend, and Austin thought it was a good idea. They needed some separation. They had dated for two years and the relationship was tumultuous at best. For the past month, Jasmine had been pressuring Austin for a marriage proposal. When nothing came of it, she decided to give him an ultimatum—marry her or she would leave town and find a new man.

       Austin chose the latter. Jasmine was free to start over with someone new. Perhaps she’d be much happier.

       Her mouth took on an unpleasant twist as she shot daggers toward him with her eyes. “I can’t believe I wasted all this time with you. I should’ve known better than to get involved with someone like you...”

       Austin opened his mouth to utter a retort, but remained silent. He would not allow himself to be baited into another argument with Jasmine.
