Sometimes you have to go through hell to find your heaven ~
Most
women have a wish list when it comes to what kind of man they want to
date. JC Mathews used a strict set of guidelines as a safety net to
keep herself out of trouble and out of love.
On
hiatus from the bright lights and speculative gazes of her career in
the fashion industry, JC lets her guard down...only to the wrong man.
After escaping Italy and the hands of her abuser, she returns to
Malibu to recover. The last thing she expects to find is a large,
gorgeous intruder swimming naked in her pool.
Reed
Rider left Texas and his broken heart behind in order to settle his
aunt’s affairs after her death. Seeking refuge from the California
heat for a midnight swim in his neighbor’s backyard, he never
expects to find the nude silhouette of a long-haired beauty standing
at the water’s edge.
As
their passion ignites and the pages of JC's rulebook fade to grey,
she unlocks her guarded heart to begin a new chapter in her life.
When hidden truths are exposed and secrets unravel, will they survive
the threats from their broken pasts?
EXCERPT
Seconds after
hearing the click of the front door shutting, his mouth was at her
ear. His fingers slipped beneath the straps on her shoulder, lifting
the dress above her head and tossing it on the end of the bed.
Spikes of sensual
energy gathered between them. Reed nuzzled the rasp of his stubble
into the sensitive spot on her neck and her skin came to life beneath
his firm yet gentle touch. Tremors chased down her spine and desire
ached between her thighs. Never in her life had JC been so completely
in tune with the bodily forces filling her physically and
emotionally.
A slight giggle
dissolved into a soft gasp as one arm crossed beneath her breast,
pulling her closer. Gooseflesh covered her body as his lips traversed
the slope of her neck and shoulder, revisiting receptive areas he’d
pursued the night before.
“I don’t
understand,” she murmured. Reed pressed the shape of him, rearing
and stiff, against the small of her back. Her head listed back
against his chest, followed a soft ambiguous cry of need. “How do
you do that to me?”
He turned her to
face him, cupping the tender curve of her breast. “Darlin’, in
few minutes, you’re not gonna give a damn.”
Heat.
Heat spread
everywhere, engulfing her senses in flames of desire. Draping her
wrists over his shoulder, she raised on her tippy-toes, searching for
his lips. Reed resisted her fervent urges, pulling back, not allowing
her the passionate kiss she yearned for. He stared into her eyes,
capturing her spirit with his ice blue eyes. Zings of pleasure chased
though her and JC feared she might melt before they even started.
Unspoken words
drifted between them.
Reed’s
unconditional acceptance disarmed her. He accepted her commitment
phobias, occasional neurotic tendencies, her fears of love, her
mishaps in life and bad judgments. He understood her implicitly and
appreciated her exactly as she was.
Her heart pounded.
Excitement and nervousness mingled through her emotions. Her eyes
drifted shut as she leaned into his chest and his hands played over
her slowly, tortuously igniting a new passion within. She quivered
and stumbled, falling onto the chaise behind her.
He started toward
her hungrily, but she shook her head.
“No?” he asked
with a questioning grin.
“No.” She shook
her head again. “This isn’t exactly how I pictured this. You make
me too damn nervous.” She pointed toward the bathroom. “Can you
please give me two minutes?”
He bent, securing
her to the hide with his thigh between her legs, possessing her mouth
with long, intimate licks of his tongue. “I’ll give you three,”
he assured, releasing her from his kiss and sauntering into the
bathroom.
JC leapt to her
feet, pacing in circles in nothing more than her white cheeky
panties. “What the hell is wrong with me?” Stopping midstride,
she shook out her trembling limbs. “You can do this! Pull yourself
together.”
She took a few deep
breaths, trying to ward off the tension looming close the surface of
her thoughts. Her limbs felt weighted and encumbering, restricting
her body from its natural rhythmic flow of sensual language. He’s
just a man. I’ve kissed dozens of men! You’ve already had sex
with him. Don’t be chicken!
She bent over,
tousling her hair through her fingers and flipped her head back,
letting the long caramel layers cascade down her back in sexy loose
pieces.
JC
plopped onto the chaise, strumming her fingers on the hide. Yeah,
but damn what a man!
Nestling back into
the hide, she draped her hands above her head. Unable to find the
right position, she fidgeted awkwardly. “This is not comfortable,”
she grumbled. “Oh, my God. What is wrong with me?”
Irritated by her own
anxiety and gracelessness, she flopped to the opposite end of the
chaise. Her long legs and feet dangled over the arched back and her
head hung over the foot of the lounge.
Sunbeams pushing
through the glass door swept across her body. Her eyes drifted shut
and she drew in a deep, full breath of air and then another. The
scent of his skin lingered with the warmth of the sun, caressing her
senses and calming her nerves.
She startled when
Reed gently placed his hand on the outside of her thigh. His naked
hip brushed against her skin when he sat beside her. Her eyes
remained closed as the coolness from his hand slid along her waist to
her breast, resting on top of her heart.
“I know…” she
panted breathily. JC placed her hand over his. “Just feel you in
here.”
“That’s right,
darlin’”
“I don’t know
why you make me so nervous.”
“Just relax.”
Feeling his avid
stare burning through closed lids and the weight of his hand dip to
her breast, she slipped her tongue across her lips sensually.
“You make me
nervous too,”—his breath fractured—“JC.”
Her eyes opened when
he called her by name.
“We’ll figure it
out together.”
Feelings of passion
and adoration flourished, stringing tightly around her heart. She
nodded.
“Goddess,” he
hummed, wiggling his brow. The back of his hand traced lazily over
her jaw and earlobe. He leaned closer, nearly kissing her before
halting. “You’re beautiful. Inside and out.”
