Synopsis:
Leah Marino hasn’t been on a date in two years. After discovering the man
she loved had manipulated and deceived her, she refuses to even entertain the
idea of a relationship. Instead, she focuses her attention on taking care of
her family, a role she’s assumed since the death of her mother and the one
place she knows her kindness won’t be taken advantage of again.
When a nostalgic trip back to her childhood home results in a chance
encounter with Danny DeLuca, a smart-mouthed mechanic who’s as attractive as he
is mysterious, Leah’s carefully cultivated walls begin to crumble. She finds
herself unexpectedly drawn to Danny, despite his unreliable behavior and mixed
signals.
But Danny has a secret…
One that could shake Leah’s already precarious foundation and bring her
world crashing down around her. Suddenly, she’s faced with an incredibly
difficult decision–is she willing to risk everything for the chance at finding
the love she’s always wanted? Or are some obstacles just too big for the heart
to overcome?
Excerpt from Coming Home
“Do you want to be
alone?” she asked.
Danny turned to her, his
eyes meeting hers before he shook his head.
“Okay,” Leah said gently,
and he released her hand as she put the car in park and cut the engine.
They rode the elevator up
to his apartment in silence; Danny’s eyes were trained on the floor as he
chewed the inside of his lip, and Leah rested her head on his shoulder until
they arrived at his floor.
He seemed distracted as
he opened the door to his apartment, and Leah followed him inside, putting her
purse on the entryway table.
“Do you want me to make
you something to eat?” she asked.
“No,” he murmured. “Thank
you.”
He was standing in the
living room with his back to her, and she walked over to him, placing her hands
on the sides of his waist as she rested her forehead against the back of his
shoulder. After a few seconds, he turned to face her, and Leah lifted her head,
looking up at him.
He stared down at her for
a moment before he dropped his eyes, watching his hand as he hooked two fingers
in the front pocket of her jeans. She saw him wet his lips, and then he gave a
gentle tug, pulling her a step closer as his other hand came to the hem of her
shirt, taking it between his thumb and forefinger.
Danny’s eyes were trained
on his fingers as he toyed with the soft fabric, and then his knuckle grazed
her belly button as he started pulling it up slowly. When her stomach quivered
in response, he glanced up, his eyes meeting hers before they dropped again.
And then he slid it up a
bit higher.
She lifted her arms out
of reflex, and suddenly, her shirt was off. He tossed it somewhere behind her
before he hooked his fingers in the front of her jeans and gave her another
tug.
“I’m sorry,” he
whispered, pressing his lips to the top of her shoulder as his fingers came to
the button of her jeans. She felt it pop open as he exhaled against her skin.
“I’m sorry. I just…”
Leah closed her eyes as
she brought her hand to the back of his head. “It’s okay,” she whispered. “Take
what you need.”
He made a small sound in
the back of his throat as he dropped his forehead to her shoulder. “God, how do
you do that?” he asked, easing her zipper down.
“Do what?” she asked
softly, running her fingers through the back of his hair.
“You make it stop
hurting,” he said against her skin. “Every time.”
Leah exhaled as she
brought her hand to his chin, lifting his head before she brought her mouth to
his.
