Romance
Alayna Withers has
only had one kind of relationship: the obsessive, crazy stalker kind. Now that
Hudson Pierce has let her into his heart, she’s determined to stay away from
her past tendencies and develop their love into more than just amazing sex. At
least Hudson is as dedicated to her as she is to him, though she could do
without his new found jealousy and need to control everything. To complicate matters,
Hudson has his own baggage including a penchant for mind games and a hateful
alcoholic mother who’s set on destroying any happiness he might find with
Alayna.
Needing insight, Alayna turns to an unlikely source—Celia Werner. Celia’s been in love with Hudson herself and knows how to ride the rocky waves of the emotionally closed-off man. But when Celia’s true motivations behind their friendship are revealed, Hudson’s commitment might not be as solid as Alayna thinks, and even their all-consuming passion for each other isn’t enough to fix their mistrusts. This is the first relationship where Alayna hasn’t spiraled out of control. And she might lose Hudson anyway…
Excerpt:
“Why do you
have all this stuff?” Though I’d cut him off, I was pretty sure my question
sounded more curious than accusatory. Hopefully.
“What
stuff?”
“This
stuff.” I set the bottles on the table
in front of him. All right, maybe it was closer to a slam. “And you have a
plethora of toothbrushes and this woman’s robe. Why do you have a woman’s
robe?”
His eyes
narrowed and he took a sip from his beverage before answering. “I have more
than the robe. I have several pieces of women’s clothing in the extra closet in
my bedroom.”
“That’s not
helping.” The panic I thought I had smothered deep inside worked its way up my
throat, tightening my voice. “You told me you never had a woman here before.”
“Do I detect
a hint of jealousy?”
The gleam in
his eye unleashed me. “You detect more than a fucking hint. Also, a whole lot
of suspicion. Come on, H, this isn’t any way to start a relationship. If you’ve
had a woman here—if this is someone else’s clothing I’m wearing—I need to
know.” My eyes burned, but I managed to keep them pinned on him.
Hudson set
his mug down and turned his whole body toward me.
I kept my hand on the table, bracing myself for whatever excuse he’d
give. What he said—if he chose to speak the truth, if I chose to believe him—it
could make or break us.
About the Author
Laurelin Paige
is a sucker for a good romance and gets giddy anytime there’s kissing, much to
the embarrassment of her three daughters. Her husband doesn’t seem to complain,
however. When she isn’t reading or writing sexy stories, she’s probably
singing, watching Mad Men and the Walking Dead, or dreaming of Adam Levine. She
is represented by Bob Diforio of D4EO Literary Agency.
