An unlikely meeting after a decade apart, a drunken Vegas wedding, a note goodbye, a broken second chance at love . . . and the wedding invitation that changes it all.

The first time I saw Brinley Knox, she was crying and heartbroken at her own sweet sixteen party. The daughter of the wealthiest family in Orchid Valley, she was off limits to someone like me—the teenage charity case, the hired help.

But that didn’t stop me from kissing her. Or from promising if she were ever mine, I’d never let her go.

The last time I saw Brinley Knox, I made good on that promise. Forget that it was the first time we’d seen each other in ten years, or that we were drunk in Vegas when we said I do. I meant every word, every touch, every promise.

The problem? When I came back to the hotel, she was gone—the ring I slipped on her finger and the note she left behind the only reminders she had been there. Well, those and the hole she left in my chest in place of my heart.

We haven’t spoken in the six months since, and I’m not the kind of guy who’d file for a divorce he doesn’t want.

But when I get the invitation to her wedding to another man, it’s time to return to Orchid Valley and remind the bride-to-be that I’m a man who keeps his promises.

Every Little Piece of Me is a sexy, standalone second-chance romance in Lexi Ryan’s all-new Orchid Valley series.

Marston comes from nothing and wants to prove that he can be something. Brinley wants to be her own person and not have to be who everyone expects her to be. When Brinley's heart is broken, Marston consoles her and they end up falling in love but that all changes when Brinley pushes Marston away when a tragedy happens in her family. Ten years later Marston and Brinley run into each other in Las Vegas and old feelings resurface and the chemistry is off the charts. Brinley wakes up not knowing what has happened and heads home to Orchid Valley. When Marston receives an invitation to Brinley's wedding he decides it's time to return home and win back his love.



Every Little Piece of Me is a second chance romance that is a heavy emotional rollercoaster ride. This book does deal with forms of addiction and abuse that may be triggering to some people. The story was an interesting telling of both past and present which worked in some parts and did not work in other parts. Marston and Brinley had always loved each other and were two broken people that finally got their second chance at romance and helped each other heal. I feel that Brinley needed to be a little bit stronger than she was.
