Synopsis
Damian Tate. One
look into his sad green eyes and I was hooked. I wanted to be the one to make
him laugh, to make him smile. I hadn't expected him to be the one to make me
blush, to make me hot...to make me fall in love. He was my first kiss, my first
love, my first everything. I wanted forever with him, but life got in the
way.
He enlisted, I
went to college, and for years we were never in the same place long enough to
pick up where we left off.
Thirteen years
after he left, tragedy brings him home. The stoic boy I fell in love with grew
into a quiet, dangerous and wildly sexy man. He still tugs on all the right
strings for me, but he seems determined to keep me at arm's-length.
However, when
trouble comes knocking at my door, he is the one to put himself between that
trouble and me.
Spending time
with him might drive me insane, or it might be our second chance at first love.
Excerpt
Before I could
scan the crowd for Damian, a hand wrapped around mine...one with cuts and blood
on the knuckles. It was Damian and he looked pissed.
“What the fuck
are you doing here?”
My heart hurt
seeing his face—a cut near his left eye, blood smeared down his cheek and a
blooming bruise on his jaw. “I heard you and Cam talking. I was curious.”
He had been
walking me toward the exit but those words stopped him. His feet sort of rooted
themselves to the concrete floor as his head turned in my direction. “So you
walked here alone?”
“It wasn’t far.”
That wasn’t the
right answer apparently because he hissed between his teeth. It wasn’t an
actual word, just a release of frustration.
He started
toward the exit again. “What are you fighting when you are out there?”
We had just
reached the stairs when he pulled me behind them and pressed me up against the
wall. “Come again?”
“When you fight,
what are you fighting?”
“Not who am I
fighting?”
“No, your
opponent isn’t what you’re fighting.”
He leaned in and
lowered his head to look me right in the eyes. “How do you know that?”
I gently wiped
the blood from his face. “I know you.”
He had the
strangest reaction to that. He closed his eyes, like he was in pain, and
lowered his forehead to my shoulder. “This can’t happen.”
Those words
caused a chill to move right down my spine. He was wrong. It totally could and
should happen. “Why not?”
He lifted his
head and for the first time I saw so much more in those eyes. “Cam is a good
friend and your parents are like my own.”
“And?”
His lips brushed
along my jaw and I had to lock my knees to keep from sliding down the wall.
“And if I did to you all the things I wanted, I couldn’t sit at their table
without them knowing that I claimed every part of you.”
