Beneath, You’re Beautiful Release Day Blitz
Synopsis…
Four words continue to haunt me . . .
You. Have. Breast. Cancer.
I associate them with the upheaval of my life to this point. The last few months have been a test of my strength . . . mentally, emotionally, and physically. Cancer is a monster. It preys on your mind and it consumes you, consistently reminding you of how your life used to be. Life before cancer. I was a successful business woman, running my own design firm, and was happily married to my college sweetheart. My life seemed perfect. Until it suddenly came crashing down all around me.
You. Have. Breast. Cancer.
I associate them with the upheaval of my life to this point. The last few months have been a test of my strength . . . mentally, emotionally, and physically. Cancer is a monster. It preys on your mind and it consumes you, consistently reminding you of how your life used to be. Life before cancer. I was a successful business woman, running my own design firm, and was happily married to my college sweetheart. My life seemed perfect. Until it suddenly came crashing down all around me.
So, here I am, in the midst of treatment, incinerating the remnants of
my shattered marriage and attempting to piece the rest of my life back
together. With three amazing friends pushing me forward, the ‘post-chemo’
finish line is coming into view.
And then . . . there’s him. The man I never anticipated. The one who
breathes hope and meaning back into my life. A man who kisses my scars and
shows me that I’m beautiful. I never expected him. Hell, I never expected
cancer. I’m finally ready to write my future, a future I never planned on, but
one that is better than I could’ve ever imagined.

Snippet…
Walking back into the kitchen, I stopped
outside the entrance and overheard Bobbie Jo quietly talking to Jen, who was
standing at the kitchen island. As hard as she tried, Bobbie Jo never mastered
the art of talking quietly, and she was currently sharing her version of my day
with Jen.
Clearing my throat, they both snapped
their heads in my direction. “There she is,” Jen announced with a little smirk
and twinkle in her blue eyes. “So?”
“What?” I asked, pretending to not know
what they were talking about as I walked to the fridge.
Bobbie Jo interjected in her sassy
voice. “You know damn well what she’s asking about. Did you call Dr. McHottie?”
I pulled out a bottle of sparkling water
and a lime. Grabbing a knife from the butcher block, I sliced the lime and then
squeezed a wedge into the bottle before taking a sip. I could feel the two of
them closely watching my every move. “Fine. I’m meeting Dr. Forrester—I mean
Blake—for coffee on Sunday morning. Are you happy now?”
The squeal they let out was deafening, and
they both bounded toward me, wrapping me in a hug as they started jumping
around in a circle.
“Ouch! Easy, I just had a fill done.
Please stop smooshing me, it hurts.” They both stepped away, but the
up-to-no-good smiles were still planted on their faces.
“I knew it! He’s so into you,” Jen
stated matter-of-factly. “Bobbie Jo and I both had our suspicions. Oh my god, you’re
dating a hot doctor, and not just any hot doctor . . . Dr. McHottie himself!”
“Calm down. I’m not dating him, and I’m
already questioning why I agreed to meet him. Hell, I just signed my divorce papers
this morning. Isn’t there supposed to be a mourning period? I don’t want to
fall victim to a rebound relationship. What the hell did I do?” The panic was
more than evident in my voice, “Look at me.” I insisted, waving my hands up and
down my body showcasing my shiny bald head and hard chest that resembled a suit
of armor. “I’m bald, I don’t have boobs, and my skin is dry and pasty. Let’s be
honest, I look like the goddamn female version of Gollum from The Lord of the Rings.”
“Like I told you earlier, he wouldn’t
have asked you if he wasn’t interested!” Bobbie Jo exclaimed, her green eyes intensely focused on
me. “Christ, Victoria, he’s seen you at your best and at your worst. He
understands you and what you’re going through much better than Noah did.” She
tossed her wavy chestnut brown locks over her shoulder and went to mix herself
a cocktail.
