Blog Tour Stop: Within These Walls by J.L. Berg. Excerpt + Giveaway
About WITHIN THESE WALLS
Within these walls, he
became my solace, my sanctuary and my strength.
I am not strong. I am
just a survivor of circumstance.
Isn’t that what we all do?
Survive?
Each of us has our own set of circumstances to muddle
through. Mine are just more…complicated.
Born with a severe heart defect, I’ve seen the inside of a
hospital room more than my own bedroom.
I was drowning, a prisoner to the illness that owned me, until
he appeared. He thinks he’s blocked out
the world with his tattoos and hard exterior, but I see the real Jude, the one
he so desperately wants to forget.
But is he the answer to my prayers or will he break my
already damaged heart forever?
My name is Lailah Buchanan, and this is our story of hope,
redemption and sacrificing it all for the one you love.

Touching him was becoming something I couldn’t stop myself
from doing. My hands and fingers wanted to reach out to him whenever he was
near. It was as if I didn’t have a choice in the matter.
He placed the pudding on the tray next to us and glanced
down at our hands. My frail small fingers were lying gently over his callous
large ones. Slowly, as if giving the gesture purpose, he turned his hand over
so that our palms were touching. Stretching out his fingers, he caressed the
pads of my fingers with his own until he intertwined our fingers and held my
hand.
I didn’t think I’d taken a breath since his hand had started
moving under mine. His eyes finally met mine, and I saw something I’d never
expected to see in those faded green irises shining back at me.
Desire.
