She
didn’t push me away or tell me no as I kissed her again with more urgency this
time. She turned, and I kissed her cheek.
“I’m
too weak when it comes to you,” she murmured as I traced the line of her jaw
with my lips. “I should be stronger.”
My
kisses moved to her temple and into her hairline. She was so beautiful, and I
had her again. “You’re incredibly strong,” I murmured. “You held me off for
three weeks when everything in me wanted to come here and take you back.”
I
could feel her breathing pick up as I kissed her, and the tension below my
waist grew tighter. My mouth returned to hers, and it opened quickly, tongues
uniting, her fingers now threading in my hair.
Her
lips were so sweet, but I moved my kisses to her chin, dropping down to her
neck, and unfastening the buttons on her shirt, kissing every spot of delicate
skin that was revealed as it came apart…
There’s a new guy in town...
“Patrick
Knight, single, retired Guard-turned private investigator. I was a closer. A
deal maker. I looked clients in the eye and told them I’d get their shit done.
And I did...”
Patrick
doesn’t do “nice.”
At
least, not anymore.
After
his fiancée cheats, he follows up with a one-night stand and a disastrous
office hook-up. His business partner (Derek Alexander) sends him to the desert
to get his head straight—and clean up the mess.
While
there, Patrick meets Elaine, and blistering sparks fly, but she’s not looking
for any guy. Or a long-distance relationship.
Patrick’s
ready to do anything to keep her, but just when it seems he’s changed her mind,
the skeletons from his past life start coming back.
