~ Synopsis ~
Eddie Neff needs
space. Not the type that country stars croon about, but physical distance
from her emotionally distant father and the tatters of a broken
relationship. So when the opportunity to relocate her life and interior
design business arises, the answer comes easily.
Adjusting to life with Claire, her gregarious new roommate, is more than simply testing comfort limits. With just one meeting, Eddie finds herself unable to resist the draw of Harris Grant, Claire’s brooding and overprotective older brother.
Harris doesn’t fit her idea of a safe relationship. He pushes Eddie to face her deepest insecurities and fears of abandonment. And Harris holds on to his own painful loss, unable to overcome personal demons.
Eddie and Harris must learn to conquer their internal struggles. But as they navigate their new love, outside forces fight to drive them apart.

~ Excerpt ~
The next week begins
uneventfully. Claire and I go about our normal work routines, and things are
peaceful. I know that this won’t be a long term living situation for me, but
this existence works for the time being. Of course, the absence of Harris
probably has made her more relaxed. I haven’t seen or heard from him since
Saturday evening. Now, Wednesday night, I’m antsy for another encounter.
Sarah’s right, I need to get his number and make things happen.
I’m working on
dinner when the front door opens and closes more softly than usual. I’m in the
middle of singing to myself, On my Own from
Les Miserables, when he starts making
his way into the condo. I do not hide
my voice from him, instead I work through the words of the song, emoting the
loneliness held in the lyrics.
Before I see
him, I feel him. The way my heart starts galloping in my chest, the knife
becoming slippery in my damp palm. My skin starts to tingle, still humming in
appreciation from his earlier touches. I sing softly to myself, the words
slipping out. I don’t feel the usual rush of shyness. He should see this side of me.
When our eyes
connect as he enters the kitchen, I know he’s feeling something, too, by the
way that his eyes soften at the sight of me and his lips flicker upward for a
half second. I cut the song short, ending before the singer professes her love.
Neither of us
speaks as he crosses the galley kitchen. I avert my eyes back to the task in
front of me as he moves behind me. He places one palm on either side of
countertop, caging me in.
I concentrate on
my breathing, but it doesn’t help the racing of my heart or the butterflies of
excitement fluttering in my stomach. We’re not physically touching, but every
pore of my body hums with energy.
“Do you feel
that?” he asks huskily.
“Yes,” I breathe.
His cheek
brushes against my hair in an achingly tender gesture.
“Good.”
His arms drop
and he puts distance between us, his features oddly calm.
Wow.
