~ Synopsis ~
Everyone in Sandy Cove knows that Willow Taylor and Max Vincent are like oil
and water. They live to torment one another and if they survive being in the
same room together, it’s nothing short of a miracle. Sure, Willow is rich,
blonde and beautiful and Max is an achingly hot and talented up and coming rock
star—but that just makes it easier for them to hate one another!
Until one night. One drunken night. It was just supposed to be a
night of celebration after each of their best friends’, Harlow and Cruz, were
reunited. But a few hours of civility leads to one night of unbridled,
earth-shattering, cataclysmic sex. It doesn’t help that the details are sketchy
in their minds because the off-the-charts after effects still linger. One thing
is clear…that night changed everything.
From that moment on, sabotaging each other’s hook-ups was their
primary goal until a truce is made. A pact. No strings attached, no feelings,
just more of what their bodies crave whenever they see one another. They both
get what they want and no one gets hurt.
Until someone does. Until love and tragedy gets in the way. The
heat between Willow and Max is undeniable but will that spark of desire be
enough to sustain them through the pain and heartache that threatens them?
~ Excerpt ~
Max
I go to her and place my hand on her shoulder, and she turns
around and I’m faced with the most unexpected thing that I think has ever
happened. Willow turns around and grabs handfuls of my shirt and pulls me to
her soft, wanting lips. She kisses me, and it’s just not a kiss that breathes
lust but it breathes the fire of passion, of meaning. It makes my hair stand on
end and leaves the skin beneath electrified. The soft motion of her mouth with
mine, the scent of her hair and the taste of her tongue dancing inside my
mouth, spins me into oblivion. There’s more to this kiss. I feel it in my
bones. I feel it in my soul. She kisses me like we are music. We are the rhythm
joining together with the notes and the melody. I grasp the back of her head
and thread my fingers in her hair softly. I deepen the kiss and I reach the
point where I swim in this moment so deep that I don’t want to come to the
surface… and that’s when she pulls away and I know I’m fucked.
I’m so fucking fucked.
She holds her lips with her long, slender fingers. Her eyes find
mine and I’m still lost in whatever that was. I can’t even ask her because I
can’t even speak. It wasn’t the normal wanton kiss that happens between us when
we just use each other. No, oh no, this was something else.
“Willow…” She holds up her hand to stop me.
“Let’s just leave it at that, Max.”
I walk past her slowly as I hear the relentlessness of the bus’s
horn and slide open the door to her room. I turn around and she’s already back
to leaning on the rail. Her body turned to the calm waters. The sun shines down
on her bare, bronzed shoulders and the wind picks up and blows her hair around
again. It’s the last time I’ll see her in person for a while and after that
kiss, my head and something else right at this very moment doesn’t want it to
be the last time. It’s not the right time to analyze what that kiss was. Maybe
it was a goodbye kiss. A proper send off. The end of whatever we were to each
other. Was it a blessing for me to go and see where it goes with Cora? What was
that? I’ll tell you what it was. The unexpected.
“I’ll miss you, Willow.” Not being so sure
she can hear me, I say it as I walk out the door. I leave her with my
brain consisting of mush and my lips already feeling some sort of loss.
Most of all… a lot to think about.

I'm a book nerd turned
writer who loves the 'Happily Ever After' mixed with a bit of suspense, drama,
and the occasional cliffhanger! My love of books started me on my writing
journey. I began writing my first book in July 2012 and since that time I have
created 2 series. The first series 'The Reunion Series' debuted in November
2012 and two books followed. My new series 'The Shore Series" debuted in
March 2014 and claimed Best Selling status shortly after the release of the
first book. There will be 6 Shore Series books in all. I’m also the author of
the Romantic Comedy, 39 & Holding. I live in Philadelphia with my adoringly
handsome husband, and pretty cute kids if I may say so myself. You can always
find me with the Kindle glued to my hands or in my car with the music turned up
while embarrassing my children with my mad car dancing skills.
