blurb:
When the love of her life leaves without a word, moving on is the last thing Dana Stevenson wants to do. Despite loving him, she believes she will never see him again and builds a life without him. While Nicholas is present in her dreams, she runs when reality brings him face to face.
Navy man, Nicholas Prescott, did what he thought was best to protect the woman he loved. Driven by a family secret, he walked away from Dana without any explanation. When she arrives in town for her best friend's wedding, he sets a plan in action. With this one chance, will he be able to make things right, or is he just too late?
Excerpt:
“I’m sorry, sweetheart.”
She sucked back a
sob, her fight slipping away. “I’ve wanted to be mad at you for so long.” She
rolled her eyes. “Why do you have to
look so damn good in that uniform?”
He
chuckled and cupped her face in his hands, lowering his head to brush his lips
gently against hers.
Instant ignition.
“Oh, God, please don’t.” She placed her palms to his solid
chest, feeling his muscled pecks under all that uniform. Her body trembled from
the tip of her toes to the top of her head. Startled by her immediate reaction
to him, she pushed him away.
“This can’t happen,
Nicholas. I’m not young and naïve anymore. You broke my heart once. I won’t let you do it again.” Whew. She
hadn’t been sure she’d actually be able to say those words aloud.
His hands dropped to
his sides, not stopping her when she stepped away.
“Dana,
we need to talk. There’s a lot you don’t know about the night I left.”
Too little too late. She
needed to flee, but couldn’t think beyond this moment. She wanted this man so
much it hurt, but too much pain had been suffered. She turned, shaking her
head. “It doesn’t matter anymore.”
He
reached for her arm.
“It
does matter, damn it. At least to
me.” He ran his hand through his hair.
“Please stay, Dana. You’re here and this night is about our friends and
their wedding. That’s the most important thing right now—being here for our
friends.”
She
hesitated. Da*n him, he was right. She was here for her friend, even though she
was really pissed at Amy for purposely leading her into this mess. Amy knew
full well Dana would be a wreck, but she would deal with her friend later. She
avoided Nick’s eyes and just nodded in agreement.
