Seeking
out solitude in which to work, New York City music composer Melissa Carter
rents a century-old farmhouse on the Virginia Eastern Shore. There, she meets a
loner with rugged good looks and smoldering gray eyes, who has long-term ties
to the property. When strange things start occurring at the historic home, the
handsome groundskeeper comes to her aid, but is Melissa really safer in his
arms?
When Stone Thomas meets a pretty northerner with a
musical gift, he's immediately drawn to her. He's also determined to protect
her from the increasingly odd happenings at the fifty-acre farm where he's
employed. Soon, Stone finds himself wondering whether he and beautiful Melissa
might share a future. Yet the secrets of Homecoming Cove threaten to drive them
apart.
Her words came out in a whisper. “Thank you for everything. For
coming to my rescue, for…” She was saying goodbye, yet her chin tilted toward
his and she took a step closer, her lips barely parted, inviting. She peered up
at him and met his gaze with a look that was surprisingly heated, decidedly
predatory. There was no mistaking it. Melissa wanted him too. That was all the
encouragement Stone needed to take her in his arms and bring his mouth down on
hers with a hungry desire that surpassed all expectations.
Melissa gasped with delight and sighed into his kiss. Stone’s empty
mug slid from her grasp and landed somewhere on the sofa. Stone pressed his
eager body to hers and ran his hands up her back, threading his fingers through
her hair. She was glorious, beautiful, her gaze sparking with reciprocal
passion. Stone groaned and kissed her again, savoring the taste of her,
delighting in the sweetness of her body molded to his, as his blood pumped
harder and his heart beat like a kettledrum gone out of control. It was more
than a kiss; it was like coming home.
“Stone,” she said breathlessly. He opened his eyes to find his
cheeks nestled between her palms.
She looked up at him her face flushed with longing. “I think you’d
better go.”
“Yeah,” he said, his pulse pounding. “I’d better go.”
Thunder boomed and rain slapped the windowpanes, while the fire
hissed and moaned.
Neither one moved.
“Melissa,” Stone whispered, brushing his lips over hers. “You and
me… It’s like… I don’t know.”
“I know,” she replied, meeting his kiss. “I feel it too.”
