Summary
One fake relationship . . .
Ginny Michaels has always been a good girl and—ever
since surviving a school shooting a little over a year ago—hailed a hero.
Except she doesn’t feel like a hero. She can’t even have a one-night stand with
sexy Wes Dalton properly. When her big city fling resurfaces in her hometown
with an intriguing proposition, she’s powerless to resist. A fake relationship
is exactly what’s needed to keep her small town’s matchmakers at bay during the
upcoming wedding season. If only her attraction to Wes were as easy to ignore.
Too many real kisses . . .
Wes Dalton doesn’t have
many regrets, and that includes his night with Ginny. But he’s always hoped to
strengthen his relationship with his estranged family. When his father’s health
takes a bad turn, Wes puts his life on hold and moves to the meddling seaside
town of Cape Hope. With his barriers in place—and a beautiful woman to help him
hold them up—he’s prepared for anything. Or so he thinks. Despite his
determination to leave as soon as the summer is over, those fake kisses are
starting to feel an awful lot like the real thing.
Excerpt
The door creaked open. A young, dark-haired woman
came out into the darkness. She held a tray with a beer on top of it. It wasn’t
until she stepped into the dim light that he could make out her features.
She had the type of curves that separated the women
from the girls.
Generous breasts that made his mouth water and lush
hips he could hold onto. Shapely legs under a flared-out blue skirt and soft
arms. An oval-shaped face with a pouty, pink mouth that begged for kissing, and
deep brown eyes framed by sooty lashes. Glossy, rich brown hair tumbled over
her shoulders, the ends dancing along the top of her breasts in a v-neck, white
cotton t-shirt.
She was beautiful, sexy, and he was interested. Very
interested.
Even though his whole body tightened in anticipation,
he kept his stance and tone relaxed. “That for me?”
“The beer?” She glanced down at the tray and let out
a nervous laugh that did something to his insides.
He found himself stepping closer, trying to
understand this sudden need drumming in his veins. He’d never felt this pull
before . . . there was something about her that made him want to know more.
Like how she smelled, how she tasted, and how she would look naked in his arms.
Well, he knew the answer to that last one.
She would look damn good naked in his arms.
“Yeah. It’s for—” Words died on her lips as she
glanced up at him, her eyes widening as she realized he was inches away, their
bodies facing each other as if they were about to dance. Not any of that slow
waltzing thing but a dirty bump and grind where she’d rub herself against him.
He’d been wrong. He thought her eyes were brown. Brown was too commonplace.
Rich like melted dark chocolate. She gave brown-eyed girl a whole new meaning.
As their gazes held and lingered, those brown eyes
darkened with desire. A faint blush stole her cheeks, and she licked her pouty
lips. The air grew thick with want, the tension crackling. Then she ducked her
head, her blush deepening.
