ONE
NIGHT. THAT'S ALL IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE.
Reeling
from the sudden loss of her sister, Haddie Montgomery has sworn off
relationships. All she wanted from Beckett Daniels was a sexy distraction to
help her escape her pain for just a little while....There weren’t supposed to
be any strings attached—so why can’t she shake the memory of that unforgettable
night from her thoughts? Or the taste of his kiss from her lips?
No matter
how hard Haddie tries to forget about him, Becks relentlessly tries to prove
that she should start living for today. But she is determined to avoid romantic
commitment, and she can always use her ex-boyfriend’s reappearance to help
snuff out the slow burn within her
that Becks has sparked....
Or will
fate force her to realize that this kind of connection doesn’t come along very
often and a chance at love is worth the risk?
Excerpt
He chuckles low and even, a sarcastic
amusement woven through the sound that pisses me off. “What are you afraid of?
Why is his offer so much more tempting than mine, huh? Oh, I know why,” he
says, sarcasm dripping from his words. “He’ll walk away without any questions.
But I won’t will I, Haddie? I have plenty of questions. The first one being
what exactly are you running from?”
My eyes flash up to meet his, and the
look – the moment that passes between us – is too honest, too raw. I have to
break it. I can’t let him see the truths that even I’m trying to hide from. How
I feel and what I need to fix me – the answer being him – because I’m not going to allow it to happen.
I can feel it. I can know it. But he
can’t.
My mind flashes back momentarily to the
night of the wedding. Of how I asked him – gave him no other option really –to
take me to bed. Did I know then that unzipping my dress for him and inviting
him between my legs would lead to this? Me wanting so much more? Me standing in
the middle of his apartment wanting to ask for more but unable to because of
the fears that are holding me hostage?
