~ Synopsis ~
ONE NIGHT. THAT'S ALL IT
WAS SUPPOSED TO BE.
Reeling from the sudden loss of her
sister, Haddie Montgomery has sworn off relationships. All she wanted from
Beckett Daniels was a sexy distraction to help her escape her pain for just a
little while....There weren’t supposed to be any strings attached—so why can’t
she shake the memory of that unforgettable night from her thoughts? Or the
taste of his kiss from her lips?
No matter how hard Haddie tries to forget
about him, Becks relentlessly tries to prove that she should start living for
today. But she is determined to avoid romantic commitment, and she can always
use her ex-boyfriend’s reappearance to help snuff out the slow burn within her that Becks has sparked....
Or will fate force her to realize that
this kind of connection doesn’t come along very often and a chance at love is
worth the risk?
~ Excerpt ~
He
bites his bottom lip and grimaces. “Fuck!” He growls out to the trees above him
and then rolls his shoulders to dissipate some of the stress I see settling
there. “Semantics aren’t an excuse. An omission is the same as lying Haddie,
but you’re missing the point entirely. It’s not whether it was a lie or not.
It’s so damn far from that. It’s you using the sex we’ve had to numb yourself
when it should do the exact opposite. It should light your body on fire and
burrow so deep under your skin that all you think about is the next time you
can have me…because fuck if that’s not what you’ve done to me. So I call your
bluff. I’ll keep calling it every fucking day until you admit you want me, that
being with me does that to you too…but you won’t will you?” I just remain
still, face impassive, body raging with emotion beneath the surface. “You’d
rather stand there and tell me you prefer the numb, the void, the nothing, than
admit you need me.”
His eyes have their own language as we
stare at each other, the power of his words bringing tears to my eyes and
knocking the words from my lips. “I was just doing what I thought was best,
protecting everyone from more hurt, more everything.” And I hate the numb, I
scream silently. I hate it so fucking much that every time we touch you make me
feel so alive I realize how dead I’ve felt inside over the past year.
I don’t know why I don’t tell him the
rest. Like if I do then I’m just sealing my fate by Murphy’s fucking Law so I
keep quiet.
“Really? That’s all you’ve got for me?
Next time make sure your eyes and your lips match up City because you’re just
adding insult to injury right now. Your refusal to answer is infuriating. Need
me Haddie. Use me as your goddamn emotional punching bag or your real one for
that matter but fucking need me. I’m not some schmuck who’s going to bolt at
the first rough patch and the fact that you still don’t see that is a crock.”
He blows out a loud breath, jaw clenched, anger palpable. “I’m so fucking
pissed but I’m also so fucking mesmerized by you right now and I don’t know
what the hell to do or say. All I know is that protecting someone from the
truth is just another way of shutting them out.”

fooled about the wild child inside of her—the one she lets out every time her

whim, K. Bromberg decided to try her hand at this writing thing. Her debut
