Hi everybody and Happy St. Patrick's Day !!!
Today I wanted to share a bit of news about myself :)
My newest novella is out (Yay!!) and I'm super excited.
Second Chances
If you could get a Second Chance...
When the love of Dana's life leaves
without a word, she is forced to move on with her life. Despite
loving him, she believes she will never see him again but, little
does she know, she's being set up for a night that will change her
life forever.
Nicholas, A Navy man, did the only
thing he could to save the woman he loved. Driven by a secret, he
disappeared and now returns, years later, with hope for love. With
one opportunity, will he be able to make things right, or is it just
too late? Will she deny any desire for Second Chances?
Excerpt:
He
watched her knees buckle a bit as Dana clutched at Amy’s arm, never
taking her eyes off him. She said something he couldn’t make out—he
never was good at reading lips. He was good at reading body language,
however, and he knew in an instant what she meant to do just as she
turned and made a dash for the patio door. Instinctively, he
propelled himself forward, his body miraculously unfrozen. He had to
go after her. He was the reason she was bailing after all. He knew
from the look on her face. He passed Dave and Amy and shook his head
when Dave tried to speak.
“Don’t.
I’m sorry. I have to go after her.”
He
closed the sliding door behind him and stood on the deck, searching
the darkness. She wasn’t there. She couldn’t have gone far. She
didn’t know anyone else here, and he doubted she was familiar with
the area. He descended the stairs and walked out onto the yard along
the water’s edge. Where’d she go? He started walking and, with
relief, caught sight of a silhouette against the water toward the end
of his property.
He
approached her quietly. She stood, arms hugging tightly around her
middle, and held her shoes in her hand while the gentle waves
splashed up and over the seawall. Damn, he wanted to touch her. It’d
been so long. He couldn’t deny the growing ache pushing against his
heart and a sudden tightening of his groin at the sight of how well
that dress fit her curves, but this definitely wasn’t the time for
his libido to come to life.
He
wanted to turn her, hold her in his arms, and nuzzle her beautiful
neck just below her ear like she’d always loved. Would she still
like it? Maybe she wouldn’t. Maybe he didn’t know her anymore,
but he couldn’t stop himself. God, he wanted this woman still. He
wanted her to know how very sorry he was for hurting her, and why.
But she wouldn’t welcome his touch, especially now. He was certain
of it. She’d likely administer a low blow, which he would totally
deserve, and bolt. She was unpredictable that way. He loved that
about her, too.
He
was only human, however, and he couldn’t not touch her. She knew he
was there—he’d seen her form go stiff at his presence. Careful
not to scare her, he slowly ran his fingertips over her bare
shoulders and down her arms, feeling her shiver at his touch before
she took a step away. “Don’t, Nicholas,” she said in a low,
shaky whisper.
