Blurb:
Cat Edwards has spent her life playing the wallflower in an
effort to escape the repressive weight of her mother’s tarnished name. Dragged
to a bar by her best friend in an effort to forget a broken heart, the shy
bookworm is determined to be someone else for the night, but quickly gets in
over her head. She discovers chivalry isn’t dead after all when a mysterious
stranger comes to her rescue. He’s wearing black leather and a mischievous
smile that promises to be exactly what she needs.
When his terminally ill father suffers a setback, Michael
Brant returns to the town he swore ten years ago he’d never return to. He’s
come back this time determined to make peace with the past, but being home
brings up memories he doesn’t want to remember anymore. His first night in
town, he’s captured by a damsel in distress. Cat’s beauty is made all the more
alluring when he realizes she has no idea who he is. He can’t resist spending a
single night in her arms. With her, he’s only a man, disconnected from his
family’s name and the past that haunts him here.
As the town erupts with the news of his return, Michael’s
dark past comes back to haunt him, putting Cat in danger. Someone is
threatening her life and the life of her family. Desperate to keep history from
repeating itself, Michael offers her his family’s name in order to keep her
safe. When the lie spirals beyond their control, can they stop their hearts
from becoming entangled as well?
Excerpt:
“What did you need from me last night, Cat?” His
hot breath teased her neck, the sensitive skin below her earlobe, and images
invaded her mind. Of his mouth latching on there, leaving his mark. The
possessive look in his eyes when he plunged inside her body, claimed her as
his. How simultaneously wrong and right it felt to be claimed that way. They
were strangers, yet deep down, she couldn’t deny she gave him a piece of herself
last night.
“I wanted the fantasy. You were a little wild, a
little dangerous. A Harley-riding bad boy in black leather with a wicked gleam in your eye who
challenged anyone to try to judge you.”
A faint chuckle sounded behind her, so infectious
one corner of her mouth curled in response.
“You were everything I wanted to be and exactly
the type of man I never go for.”
“Is that why you took that ride with me? Spent the
night with me? Because I’m different?”
She hesitated, her heart stalling in her chest,
then shook her head. She spent the night with him because the façade intrigued
her. The unexplainable pull between them and the uninhibited desire in his eyes
sucked her in. The tenderness of his touch overwhelmed her. He overwhelmed her.
“No. I did it because I felt safe with you.” Safe
to fulfill a fantasy without fear of it getting out of control, without fear
she’d find out he really was every bit as dangerous as he appeared. And though
she couldn’t explain how she knew, she’d bet every last cent she had that the
only thing truly dangerous about Michael Brant were his discerning eyes.
“That’s exactly what I needed from you. The
anonymity. You were the only person in this town who didn’t seem to know who I
was, who hadn’t already formed an opinion of me. Over the years, I’ve convinced
myself I didn’t care what people thought, but I came back expecting judgment.
There are people here who aren’t fond of me. And with you, for one night, I was
just a man. I had no name, no obligations, no expectations.”
He shifted closer, his body brushing her back, his
heat seeping into her skin.
“I needed you.” His breath against her sensitive
skin made her shiver. “I was just … me. I wasn’t
sure I wanted to know if you’d ever heard of me,
what you thought of Michael Brant.”
His hands slid onto her arms, his touch light and
hesitant, as if he couldn’t resist but wanted to give her room to object. When
she didn’t — couldn’t — those hands skimmed along her forearms, over the backs
of her wrists, awakening every nerve ending along the way and setting the tiny
hairs to standing on end.
