EXCERPT #1
“Still so damn gorgeous,” he said, and his mouth was on me
again, his fingers reaching up and pulling my hair out of its tie. As it fell
and hit my shoulders, his throat rumbled with desire. I pushed his shirt up and
over his neck and gasped at the muscles I saw.
But that was short-lived because he was kissing me so
hard, with such profound need, that all I could do was run my hands along his
shoulders and the smooth ridges of his back. I couldn’t believe how ripped he’d
gotten. He had always been toned, but now, good God, he was beautiful.
His mouth was on my neck, at my collarbone, on my breasts
and he groaned into my skin murmuring my name as he went. I was overcome with
emotion and longing, wetness pooling between my legs. It was like a dream that
he was here, that he was kissing me again. I never wanted it to end.
He lifted me and turned, moving deeper into the room. The
back of my knees hit the chaise longue, the same one he’d sat in countless
times over the years. One night we had even secretly made out in it, the summer
we’d hidden our attraction. I could scarcely sit there without remembering how
it felt to have his tongue in my mouth. But the reality was so much better.
He stood and began unbuttoning his pants, his gaze roving
all over me, his eyes glittering pinpoints of hunger. My breath faltered just
watching him and I couldn’t hold back any longer. I leaned forward and began
touching and kissing every inch of his skin that I could reach.
He squatted down in front of me and hooked his hands
beneath my knees, hauling me toward him so that the crux of my thighs was at
eye level. His palm glided over the damp center of my underwear and my legs
begin to tremble. “Your smell turns me on.”
I moaned as he corkscrewed two of his fingers into the
soft middle panel, locating my entrance. “Oh God.”
I was a panting, quaking mess and all he’d done was touch
me over my panties.

Blurb
A gripping standalone adult contemporary romance
about finding yourself while taking a second chance at your first love...
Dakota Nakos was always
the resilient, strong-willed achiever. But when her father dies and she's
entrusted with the family's casino, she feels vulnerable, scared, and more than
a little emotional --not exactly the best time to see an old lover she's never
really gotten over.
Dakota once meant the
world to Shane Garrity. Then suddenly he left town to train as a U.S. Marshal,
and their love for each other crashed into a memory. Now he's come home for her
father's funeral, and one look at the girl he left behind stirs up both
memories and regrets, and reignites a fire he feared he'd lost forever.
Dakota may be the same
driven girl she always was, but she's also changed in ways neither could have
anticipated. She's not just a young woman searching for own identity in the
Native American community in which she was raised, but one questioning her new
life outside her father's shadow. Above all she wonders if Shane can push past
her weakened defenses to rekindle what they once had, or whether the intense
blaze between them will ultimately reduce her heart to ashes.
