Sweet Agony

★★★★★ “If I could give more than 5 stars, I would."

★★★★★ “This is not a romance, it is a story about first love, first heartbreak and growing up. It is a story that helps to build foundation upon who someone is at their core, and what makes them strong, vulnerable, loving, caring and heartbroken but willing to take chances and learn to love again.”

When my parents sent me away, little did I know it would turn out to be the best and most heartbreaking summer of my life. As a rule-following teenager, Dahlia Ellis never imagined that falling for the wrong person would set off a roller coaster of emotions and consequences. She should have stayed away from Jeff, her best friend's older brother, but she never couldn't resist him. Shattering her best friend's heart—the one person who has stood by her since childhood—left them both with scars that only time can heal. Jeff Hills never planned to fall for his brother’s best friend, nor for the ensuing dilemma. Yet, despite the chaos in his life, their relationship is the only certainty he holds onto.

When Dahlia's life takes her across the globe and Jeff enlists, they must learn to navigate their new reality and relationship while living thousands of miles apart, and embrace the highs and lows of love, learning to listen to their hearts. What starts as a simple attraction turns into a whirlwind romance fueled by passion and secrets that could break them. Just when they think they have it all figured out, life throws an unexpected curveball that threatens to tear them apart for good. 

Can their love withstand the trials and tribulations that come their way, and can Jeff and Dahlia survive the ordeals life throws at them?

Sweet Agony is a standalone novel and the first installment of the Whiskey Melody series and Dahlia Ellis’s prequel story. It can be read by itself or before Cruel Destiny.

Hot tears etched their way down the delicate skin of my face. My heart leaped into my throat. I tried to scream. To expel all the fury broiling inside me. In vain. No sound came out of my mouth. Not even the sobs bubbling in the depths of me.

This day should’ve been one to remember. One to celebrate.

The happiest of my life so far. One to bring tears of joy to my eyes.

Instead…

I was a train wreck.

A ball of sadness.

A bomb about to explode.

Anger and grief twisted around, I didn’t know where one ended and the other began.

How could this happen?

My day should’ve been blissful. Or I always thought that was how it was supposed to be. I had no idea, as I’d never put too much thought into this before.

Right now, I had nothing to be festive about. I was about to shatter the heart of one of the two people I loved the most in this world. My insides roared into a blaze. Burning everything in their wake.

What had I done?

When my back landed on the wall behind me, I slid to the floor, curling into a ball.

I wrapped my arms around myself, trying to ease the pain. I wasn’t sick. Not really. But the thought of breaking someone’s heart—someone I loved most of all—was enough to draw me into a spiral of darkness.

I closed my eyes.

My breath caught in my lungs. I coughed, trying to get rid of the heaviness in my chest.

It wouldn’t go away.

A soft knock on the door startled me.

“Hey, Dah, are you in here?” Jeff asked.

I said nothing. Because I had nothing to say, anyway.

He’d find out soon enough. I closed my trembling fist and let reality kick in.

I was down for the ride of my life.

I breathed. One. Two. Three. Time to face the music. Yeah, no pun intended.

Just life.
