Emory faces life’s challenges at the one place that never failed her, the ballet barre. But even the barre can’t steady her when fate brings her face-to-face with her old college flame, Mason, who’s hoping to return to the NFL after a career-threatening injury. Before they can surrender to their sexual desires and find salvation in each other’s arms, they need to come to terms with their past. Mason must confront the demons that have set him on a path of self-destruction, while Emory must decide whether to keep her painful secrets locked away, or expose them and risk losing the love of her life. But nothing can prepare Mason for what Emory has kept hidden, or the possibility that he himself may be to blame for the very secrets she keeps and why they continue to haunt her.
BOOK EXCERPT:
“So, little miss,
want to fess up to what you were doing yesterday?”
“Well, it depends,”
she said. “Before or after, I threw my
half-naked body at Mason?”
Wesley dropped the
knife. “Excuse me?”
Tomás raised his
eyebrows and gave her a smile. “It was
just for a little while,” she said playfully.
“How little?”
Wesley munched on his biscuit.
“Not too long.”
“How naked?”
“I told you --
about half.”
“Which half?”
“A little of both.”
“Both breasts?”
“No. Top and bottom.”
“Is that so?” Wesley took a sip of his drink, thoughtfully
considering what she’d said, like he was some kind of philosopher. “Any action?”
“I tried.”
“How hard?”
“Pretty hard.”
“Was he?” Wesley grinned at Tomás and took another bite
of his biscuit.
“Shut up,” she said
blushing. “We decided it was best to
take things slow.”
“That’s too bad,”
Wesley said, and Tomás slapped his arm.
“In all seriousness, I’m happy for you.”
“Me too,” Emory
said, rising from the table with her and Tomás’ plates.
Wesley grabbed her
shoulder and whispered in her ear, “Did you tell him?” Emory shook her head walking to the sink, and
Wesley shot her a disapproving look.
Tomás eyed them both curiously.
“He deserves to know!”
Tomás mouthed to
Wesley, “Know what?” Wesley shook his
head that it was none of his business.
“No lectures,
Wesley.” She scrubbed the plates. “Let me enjoy myself and Mason before I ruin
it.”
“You need to stop
running,” Wesley said.
“I’ll stop when you
stop.”
