I loved writing Zoey's story, especially the backstory for all of the characters. This story was not what I originally planned to write - I imagined a different type of connection between Zoey and Aiden, but when I started writing, the words just flowed easily. Their backstory felt so real.
The story ended up at over 120k words but I felt like I could have carried on. What I ended up doing was creating some additional chapters - two take place during the two years of silence between Zoey and Aiden, and the third is a bonus epilogue.
If you haven't yet read Protecting Her Heart, avoid reading the extra chapters until you've finished as these contain MAJOR spoilers.
You have been warned! But... enjoy. I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I loved writing them.
