His heart was turned off…
Until she turned him on…
Christopher Moore gave up
on the idea of love years ago. Now, his life is an endless string of parties
and an even longer string of girls. Enjoying the physical perks with none of
the emotional mess, hes convinced everyone that hes satisfied—everyone but
himself.
Samantha Schultz has moved
on with her life. Finishing her student teaching and living with her boyfriend,
shes deluded herself into believing shes content. But there is one boy she
never forgot—her first love—and she keeps the memory of him locked up tight.
She will never allow any man to break her the way Christopher did.
When Christopher's sister
and her family move into a new neighborhood, Christopher is completely
unprepared to find Samantha living at the end of the street. Memories and
unspent desires send them on collision course of sex, lies, and lust. But when
guilt and fear send Samantha running, Christopher will have to fight for what
has always been his.
Excerpt
And I knew I should run. Flee. Because I’d never been in
greater danger than I was at that moment. His gorgeous face shifted from one
dark expression to the next, his hair untamed, wild, as wild as the green eyes
cutting me through as he jumped from the truck.
“Are you crazy?” I demanded against the wind, pounding my
fist at my side, this man a raging contradiction.
Bitter laughter seeped from him while he glared across at
me. “Crazy?”
Five excruciating seconds passed as we stood there, the
storm gaining strength, gaining speed, beating at our senses. Before
Christopher broke.
He closed the space in four long strides. Demanding
fingers dove into my hair, pulling me flush against his body.
All defenses evaporated the second his mouth found mine.
This wasn’t a sweet kiss. It was rough and angry, his tongue commanding. His
teeth bit and nipped. Those flames licked and jumped, fueling the fire that
years ago he had lit, and my tongue fought back, fighting a war I knew I’d lose.
Frantic, his hands roamed, cupping my neck, sliding down
my shoulders and arms, thumbs flicking across my breasts. My nipples hardened,
and a moan raced up my throat. Christopher groaned and swallowed it down then
he gripped me by the hips.
He slammed my back up against hard, hot metal. Pinned to
his truck, I gasped, his body towering, consuming, devouring me the exact way I
knew he would. His erection strained against his tight, tight jeans, pressing
between my thighs, pressing into my stomach. My body trembled with the idea of
setting him free, the idea of what he’d feel like pulsing inside of me, taking
me right here, in the dark against his truck.
He closed his mouth over my bottom lip, sucking it hard, a
direct tether to my sex that clenched, begging for more.
“Fuck.” The
word
reverberated like a moan from deep within his chest, the urgency in his touch
finally tugging at my common sense that had gone numb with the assault of his
mouth.
And he felt familiar and right and totally, incredibly
wrong, this man I didn’t even know, because I never really had.
He rocked against me, and all those little pleasured
places inside of me cried out in tortured relief as my spine grated painfully
against metal. My legs tightened their hold on his waist, my hands just as
desperate to feel and remember as my heart. But another part of me screamed to stop. To remember.
