Synopsis
Tony DeLuca has to get to New
York, nor’easter be damned. His older sister is getting married and it won’t
matter to her if the entire east coast is shut down if it means she’s short a
groomsman. She’s the only reason he’s willing to make the trip home to face a
father who’s never forgiven him for wasting a perfectly good degree to become a
firefighter. And that’s only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to everything
about Tony that his father will never accept.
Dominic Tricoli’s living his dream. He’s spent the past few years working to mesh his business degree and love of the outdoors into a thriving company, providing team building retreats for some of the country’s largest corporations. Unfortunately, there’s a price to pay for happiness, and having someone to come home to at night is the sacrifice Dominic made.
When Dominic overhears Tony’s plight, he’s drawn to help the man get to New York City. Little does Dominic know that one kind gesture will awaken a side of him he’s ignored for far too long. Against his better judgment, he gives in to his desires and Tony’s advances. Just for the night.
When destiny steps in, giving him another chance with the charismatic man who saved his hide, Tony’s willing to do whatever it takes to earn Dominic’s forgiveness and understanding. There may not be forever, but Tony’s determined to enjoy every single minute he’s given with Dominic.
You can’t fight fate. Whatever’s meant to happen, eventually will.

Excerpt
So much for never seeing one
another again. Had I known that I was going to see Dominic this weekend, I
might have tried harder to make things right with him Thursday night.
If I’d realized the Cara he mentioned was marrying his college roommate was my
sister, who I’ve always called Caroline, I wouldn’t have touched him no matter
how much I wanted to. Actually, that’s probably not true, because he’s damn
fine and I’m not stupid enough to pass up an opportunity when it presents
itself. But I definitely wouldn’t have walked away until I knew that
neither of us had any regrets.
I trip over my feet as I follow
the rest of the groomsmen into the front of the cathedral, my attention focused
on the man sitting next to Mr. and Mrs. Rossi, looking like he’s just been
scolded.
Dominic was gorgeous the night we
met, but now, he’s downright breathtaking. I take my place in line and, because
God has a twisted sense of humor, I’m going to be stuck knowing that Dominic is
directly behind me for the next hour and there’s not a damn thing I can do
about it.
As we wait for what seems like
forever for all of Caroline’s bridesmaids to make the mile-long trek to the
front of the cathedral, I try to catch Kennedy’s attention. Thursday night,
I told her everything. After telling her about the sexy-as-fuck scene in the
truck, I went on to tell her how much it annoyed me that Dominic and I parted
on bad terms. She agreed with Dominic that there was no need to feel anything
since we’d never see one another again. When Kennedy finally makes eye contact
with me, I nod ever so slightly to my left and watch as her eyes threaten to
bug out of her head. “Oh, my God. Is that him?” she mouths. I nod subtly. “Are
you going to talk to him?” she asks. I shrug, and catch the attention of my
older brother, who is standing directly behind me.
“Anthony, quit talking to your
girlfriend,” he hisses. “Caroline needs you to make her the priority for the
next hour, then you can run off and find a quiet corner to do whatever it is
the two of you do.” I close my eyes tightly before glancing at Dominic, finally
realizing that he probably thinks the same thing I’ve led most of my family to
believe all these years. The urge to elbow Peter in the gut to show him exactly
what I think of his comment is strong, but I’ve already made enough of a scene.
If he noticed, I’m sure other people have as well. And sure enough, Dominic is
now glaring at me. He looks across the aisle and his entire body stiffens when
he notices Kennedy sitting with my family. I need this wedding to hurry the
fuck up so I can get a drink.
The music changes and everyone
stands and turns to see Caroline and our father walking down the aisle. I take
the opportunity to admire the way Dominic’s suit jacket hangs off his
shoulders. The subtle pinstripes act as beacons, drawing my eye down to his
narrow hips, and suddenly I’m standing in the cathedral with a semi, thinking
about the tight ass beneath those perfectly tailored pants. Go straight to
Hell. Do not pass Go, do not collect two-hundred dollars.
Meet Sloan Johnson
Sloan Johnson is a big city girl
trapped in a country girl’s life. While she longs for the hustle and bustle of
New York City or Las Vegas, she hasn’t yet figured out how to sit on the deck
with her morning coffee, watching the deer and wild turkeys in the fields while
surrounded by concrete and glass.
When she was three, her parents
received their first call from the principal asking them to pick her up from
school. Apparently, if you aren’t enrolled, you can’t attend classes, even in
Kindergarten. The next week, she was in preschool and started plotting her
first story soon after.
Later in life, her parents needed
to do something to help their socially awkward, uncoordinated child come out of
her shell and figured there was no better place than a bar on
Wednesday nights. It’s a good thing they did because this is where she
found her love of reading and writing. Who needs socialization when you can sit
alone in your bedroom with a good book?
Now, Sloan is a tattooed mom with
a mohawk and two kids. She’s been kicked out of the PTA in two school districts
and is no longer asked to help with fundraisers because she’s been known to
lose herself with a good book and forget she has somewhere to be.
