Description:
Adam Monroe has seen his share
of setbacks. Now he’s back in Peregrine Bay, looking for a new life and second
chance.
Julia Kerrigan’s life rebounded
after the sudden betrayal of the one man she ever loved. As president of a
successful real estate company, she’s built a new life and future, pushing the
painful past behind her.
Adam’s reason for
accepting the job as the town’s new Police Chief can be explained in one
word—Julia. He wants her back and will do whatever is necessary to achieve his
goal, even knowing his biggest hurdle is the woman he still loves.
As they begin to
reconnect, a terrible scandal breaks loose with Julia and Adam at the center.
Will the threat to
their lives and reputations destroy their fledgling romance? Can Adam identify
and eliminate the danger to Julia before he’s had a chance to reclaim her love?
Excerpt:
Adam set down his dessert fork,
pushed back the plate and turned toward Julia, his jaw working as he leaned
forward, his thumb rubbing across her lower lip.
“You missed a bite,” he said as he
held out his thumb, then brought it to his lips, tasting the sweet tang of
lemon.
She watched his movements, unaware
her lips had parted, her tongue peeking out to moisten them.
He cupped her face in his hands,
letting his gaze wander over her face to the fullness of her mouth, then to her
deep green eyes. “I want you in my future. No other woman…just you.” He leaned
forward, touching his lips with hers before delivering a searing kiss that sent
tremors through both of them. The beginning of a devastating grin tipped the
corners of his mouth up as he pulled back. “We don’t need to talk more of it
tonight. I just didn’t want you leaving here without knowing how I feel.”
He’d driven her home, kissing her
lightly, asking if he could see her again soon. All she could do was nod,
causing a crooked smile to brighten his face.
She’d lain awake for hours rehashing
Adam’s words the night before, words that curled around her heart, squeezing
out the small amount of resistance still left. There now remained no doubt in
her mind he wanted her. In all the years she’d known him, he’d never lied to
her. She might not have liked what he said, but lying held no place in his
life.
Julia touched her lips with a finger,
closing her eyes, remembering the sensations of his touch. No man had ever
affected her the way he did and she doubted anyone ever would.
