Jessica
Channing’s big city life should be more exciting than sixty-hour work
weeks and popcorn nights with her girlfriends, but it’s not. She has
worked hard fulfilling her role as a child prodigy and graduating
college years before her peers. She’s the good girl, the brilliant girl.
Unfortunately, she’s also the dateless young woman.
That
all changes with one phone call. Jess’s rigid, predictable life upends
when she must visit a small, obscure town to deal with a relative’s
death. This isn’t just any little speck of a town, though. Long lost
memories come crashing down on Jess’s world when two men, the Blackard
brothers, seem to lure her in.
Dylan
is cover model handsome, and pursues Jess the minute she comes to town.
Then there is tall, dark and gorgeous Carson, who hides his own secrets
behind his hardened reserve.
For
someone who has been governed by her own obsessive behaviors and fears,
Jess lets her guard down and jumps at the opportunity to have an affair
with a man she actually finds attractive for a change.
There’s
just one problem. Jess discovers that she can’t have a simple romantic
fling because true passion does indeed come with some very big strings
attached to it. She will have to own up to her own truths about love and
face the two extraordinary men; both troubled in their own ways and
both determined to have her.

Exceprt:
I’m still daydreaming when he stops abruptly to pick up his toolbox and I bash right into his back. Perfect. Didn’t I already do this with Dylan?
Carson drops the box and turns around to catch me. “I’m sorry, did I do that?”
“No, it was me.” I rub my nose.
He’s holding me by the waist, pulling me into him, but it’s not a déjà vu of Dylan. Carson is something else—something I like very much—and I suspect that being torn between two men in my own imaginary, lovelorn world is a sign of my immaturity. At least, that would be the first thing my mother would say before she asks what they do for a living. My hands are wedged between us, resting against his hard abdomen.
Carson doesn’t let go, as if he’s thinking of something to say or thinking of pulling one of those fast Blackard kisses. “This could be awkward,” he says and releases his grip on me while his hands remain hovering by me.
I’m not sure if he’s having the same thought as me, that a kiss would be awkward since I’m going out with Dylan, or if it’s awkward because he sees me as some virginal geek and he’s never touched one in person before. It’s awkward because I’m over-thinking the whole scenario!
About the author:
S.
A. Wolfe lives with her wonderfully loud, opinionated children and
husband. She is a voracious reader and passionate about writing, and
when those two activities don’t keep her locked away in her room, she
loves hiking mountains as much as she adores all the thrills New York
City has to offer.
