BLURB:
Trevor
MacLaughlin has been in love with his sister's best friend for years. But, he
let her move away to college without ever telling her how he felt and hasn't
seen her since.
Now,
years later, a second chance with the woman of his dreams practically falls
into his lap.
Will
he take a leap of faith and tell her how he feels? How he's always felt? Or
will the woman he knows is meant to be his slip through his fingers a second
time?

Excerpt One:
Trevor opened
the hotel room door at 9:05pm. The meeting with the client had taken longer
than he expected. The flooding had taken down a wall, collapsed a roof, and
ruined several large machines. The owner was paying upfront for a quick
salvage, but it would be tomorrow morning before he could have a crew mobilized
and here.
As late as it
was, he’d managed to find a little place still open and got them both a
home-style burger and fries. Hopefully she would forgive him for being so late.
The site that
greeted him was adorable and frightening at the same time. Her luggage was open
on the floor and appeared to have been dug through, as if whatever she’d wanted
was at the very bottom. A pair of pink satin and lace panties lay draped over
the edge and a matching pink and black bra lay just inside the suitcase on top
of a pile of shoes. The thought of seeing her in those made blood rush to his
dick. Papers and books were scattered across the bed along with a tablet
computer wrapped in a bright yellow cover.
He set the
bag of food down on the dresser next to the tv and picked up one of the books
off the bed – Ancient Gods and Goddesses. He flipped through a few pages. Next
to it he picked up an inside out black, over-sized sweatshirt. He turned it the
right way and chuckled. On the front it read –Men say a women’s place is in the
kitchen. Just remember, that’s where all the knives are. This girl was
something else.
The door of
the bathroom clicked open. Lorelei walked out half wrapped in a towel, wet hair
glistening, looking like one of the goddesses from her book. I’ve truly died
and gone to heaven.
“Holy mother
of popcorn balls! Trevor!” She screeched and ducked back into the bathroom, but
not before giving him a nice peek at her bare ass. “You could at least make a
little noise when you come in,” she spat out through the barely cracked door.
“Where would
be the fun in that?”
He heard a
faint curse, but couldn’t decipher what she’d said.
“Can you
please leave so I can get dressed?”
He had no
intention of leaving the room. “I can bring you clothes. What do you want?”
“I…fine. The
yoga pants and the sweatshirt on the foot of the bed.”
He picked up
the requested items and glanced down at the lacy bra and underwear. She hadn’t
asked for them. A few steps brought him to the bathroom door. She opened it far
enough to stick her arm through, snatching the clothes from his hand and
shutting the door in his face.
“Anything
else?” Underwear, perhaps?
“No.” Her
voice was irritated, but husky. The raspy quality made his mind go places it
shouldn’t.
