The Orchid Valley Book 3

Lexi Ryan, the New York Times bestselling author, brings you "Every Time I Fall" - a captivating standalone romance about a woman's journey to self-love and the man who has loved her all along.

He's my brother's best friend - the irresistible guy with a heart of gold, whom I've never allowed myself to want. Guys like Dean don't go for girls like me. Curvy, thick, a "big girl" - whatever label you choose, I know who I am and what it means. And that's fine. I'm content to be Dean's buddy and nothing more. Or so I thought.

But everything changes when Dean discovers my bedroom insecurities and decides to help me overcome them. He swears there's no such thing as "bad in bed" and that pleasure is all about chemistry. I'm not entirely convinced, but he's determined to prove it - with his mouth, his body, his dirty texts, and whispered promises.

From the moment of our first kiss, I know I'm going to fall hard. This can't last, and the end might shatter me. But for these fleeting days and nights with Dean, all the hurt might just be worth it.

I've always seen myself as unworthy of love and desire. Guys like Dean are out of my league. He's too perfect, too good for someone like me. But Dean has other plans. He's intent on showing me that I'm worthy of love, that I'm beautiful just as I am.

As we explore this newfound intimacy, I find myself questioning everything I've ever believed about myself. Dean's unwavering affection and the way he worships my body make me start to see myself in a different light. Maybe I'm not as flawed or undesirable as I've always thought.

The more time I spend with Dean, the harder I fall. I know this can't last, that it's only a matter of time before the reality of our situation catches up with us. But for now, I'm content to bask in the warmth of his love and the passion we share.

In the end, this journey is about more than just finding love. It's about learning to love myself, to embrace my curves, and to see the beauty that Dean sees in me. And with him by my side, I might just have a chance at finally discovering the self-love I've been searching for all along.
