SynopsisWhen Knox Wellington opens the door to Charlie Davenport, he's not expecting the fiery brunette with whiskey colored eyes and a feisty personality. Sparks fly immediately, even though their initial meeting is nothing but hostile. Their chemistry is undeniable, but the chip on Knox's shoulder threatens to destroy any hope of him wooing the sweet, southern volunteer sent to help with his rehabilitation. Little does he know she's no Southern Belle, as she gives as good as she can take. As unexpected circumstances push them closer together, heads butt, patience is tested, and flames ignite as they dance around their mutual attraction, both of them jaded from broken pasts. They've both been burned before, so when their feelings of lust, desire, and wanting are inflamed in the heat of the moment, will they finally be able to get over the pain of the past or will their relationship be reduced to ashes before it can ever really begin?
Excerpt
Following after her, I find her bent over in front of the refrigerator
holding the door open and staring at the contents inside. The way her ass is
sticking out unleashes something inside me, and I go semi-hard just from
watching her. I instantly feel the need to show her that I’m not some weak,
damaged man. I walk up behind her and grab her by the waist, turning her
around. Kicking the door shut behind me, I push her to the island, and if I
thought I could get away with it, I’d be pressing myself up against so she
could feel what she’s doing to me. She’s staring up at me with confusion in her
big, brown eyes, and I wonder what the hell I’m doing.
“Hop up,” I tell her, and she complies immediately, surprising me by not
fighting it.
I place my hands on her knees, spreading them and stepping closer to her
so my hips are between her legs. As best as I can, I take a hold each one and
wrap them around my waist, and she involuntarily tightens them around my
middle, although her ass is still firmly planted on the counter. This isn’t how
I imagined her legs wrapped around me for the first time, but I can’t deny that
I don’t love the feel of her gripping my waist tightly.
“Arms around my neck, Charlie.” The confused expression on her face
deepens, but she does as she’s told.
“What are you doing, Knox?” she asks, looking up at me, her face only
inches from mine.
Swallowing hard, I ignore her question and bring my forehead to hers.
“Just do this for me, okay? Don’t fight me on it. Just this once. I need to do
this.”
She nods, and I’m not sure she knows what to expect, confirming it when I
pull her off the counter. Gasping, she starts to struggle, and I have to brace
myself against the counter to keep from falling. Jesus, this woman is so damn
defiant, and it can be both sexy as hell and annoyingly irritating.
“Knox, what the hell?! Put me down!”
Fuck, I know I should probably listen to her, but I’ve gotten to this
point and I’m not stopping until I can prove to myself that I haven’t
completely lost all of my strength. She’s not exactly heavy, but her struggling
is making it difficult to keep my one good arm around her as I make my way down
the hallway, heading into the guest bedroom. Somewhere along the way she stops
struggling, apparently having given up and figuring that it’s just easier to
let me do this.
I begin backing away from her because I know the verbal assault is
coming, and I don’t blame her, but I don’t regret it
About Tessa
I'm a twenty six year old book junkie who is also obsessed with sports.
Bengals, Buckeyes, Reds are my teams! I work for the government during the day,
hang out with Air National Guard on the weekends, and am married to a guy 15
inches taller than me. We're quite the pair! We currently live right outside of
Dayton, OH with our two cats.
I've been reading since I was a kid. My mom was a
librarian, so it was a given. Heck, she even made sure we watched Wishbone
instead of the Smurfs. In 2011 when I graduated from college, my mom bought me
a Nook, and then in the summer of 2012 I found this amazing site called
Goodreads. I was introduced to so many amazing indie/self-published authors.
After reading almost 400 books that year, my husband gave me the push to
finally sit down and write my own. It was a rocky start, but over time the
words started flowing and I couldn't get Jace and Lexi out of my head.
If I’m
not writing or looking through tons of photos of hot men, all in the name of
research, then you can probably find me curled up with my Kindle, ignoring the
rest of the world. I love my sports almost as much as I love my books. My other
obsessions include red wine, hot men, country music, and all things Grace
Potter. I LOVE to hear from readers, so please feel free to contact via any
social media site listed below.
