In the emotional and
dramatic sequel to Tryst, Skyler and Blake’s relationship is finally out in the
open. But as new challenges open up old wounds, their love is put to the
ultimate test...
Blake is desperate to be
the kind of man that Skyler deserves, but with his latest film putting him on
the verge of superstardom, being there for her is growing harder and harder. As
his filming schedule takes him on the road and away from the woman he loves, he
discovers that being in a public, committed relationship is no easy
task—especially from two thousand miles away.
Skylar wants Blake to pursue his dreams, but his constant absence weighs on her more than she admits. Even as she throws herselft into new distractions, she finds herself facing uncertainties and jealousies that could tear apart everything they've built. And when disaster strikes while Blake is away, she'll have to decide if their passion is worth the pain...

Josh shakes his head, admonishing me. “Help your bro out and
tie his tie.”
Lifting his chin upward to signal my help, I giggle. “You
wear a tie nearly every day. Why the help all of a sudden?”
Blake’s ego make’s a surprise appearance from behind me as
he quips, “It’s got to be because of his girl. What is it this week, Josh?”
Josh’s stare frosts over, but if anything, among his anger I
sense a bit of fear as he grunts, “Shut up, Blake.”
Blake sticks his hands in his pockets, and struts around us,
nose in the air. “C’mon, man. Don’t act like I don’t know you. There are only
two things that make you nervous as hell. One, is spiders, you pussy. The
second, well, that’s easy —commitment.”
My throat goes dry as I loop my brother’s tie into a Windsor
knot. I mean, this conversation is perfectly normal, but let’s not forget Josh
is my brother, and his girlfriend, Vanessa, is one of my best friends. The idea
of throwing commitment into the already awkward equation
throws me.
I peer up from my tying to see Josh already staring at me
apprehensively. He chews the inside of his cheek, and releases a huff. “I’m not
a commitment-phobe.”
Why is it I feel like I’m intruding on their conversation as
I make my final adjustment to my brother’s tie?
Blake swivels around, smug and smiling, as if proud to admit
whatever he’s about to say. “Bullshit. You and I both know we avoid commitment.
It’s practically why we became friends. We understand each other. We
avoid commitment by nature, but hey, that was until we met girls that handed
our hearts to us on a silver platter, right?”
Josh cannot fight his agreeing chuckle, but tries to cover
it up as he shoots me an apologetic smirk. “I guess I can’t argue with that.
Vanessa’s worth it though. And don’t forget, you break my sisters heart, I ruin
you.”
“Oh, ruin me? No death threats this time?” Blake goads with
more attitude than I think he intends.
Josh turns around to face him, and it almost seems playful.
I’m hopeful for an element of normality between them.
“I think it’s fair to assume both.”
Blake clicks his tongue, and I hate that I think Blake looks
hot when he goes into alpha-asshole mode when I know I should be scolding him,
but then again, sometimes it’s good to stand up to Josh.
“What makes you think she won’t break my heart?” Blake brazenly retorts.
There’s a pause in the room, and both men swing their stare
to me.
Do I look like a deer in the headlights? Because I feel like
one.
The thought never crossed my mind that I would ever break
anyone’s heart, let alone Blake’s. I consider my college friend and tutor, Richard
Bennett, as a possible broken heart when I denied his advances, but he ran back
into the arms of his ex, Heather, so it seems far from fair for it to qualify.
Josh smiles warmly at me before turning back to Blake. “Skye?
She can barely kill ants. What makes you think she would do the heart breaking
when you’re far more experienced in that department?”
Blake’s angular face blushes an adorable pink that’s so
unlike him as he bashfully turns away, avoiding Josh’s glare. “Because I love
her, man. Duh. She holds all the cards. When have you ever heard me say that?”
Josh swallows down the idea before huffing, “I don’t know
how I expect to get used to hearing that.”
With Josh’s back to me I release my full ear-to-ear grin at
hearing Blake. He peers over Josh’s shoulder to purposefully lock his stare with
mine. The delicate, and charming wrinkling around his eyes confirms everything,
and more.
I’m caught in his spell as I pull in a deep inhale, eager to
breathe him in, touch him, feel him —to just be near him. He knows it too as
the corner of his mouth arches upward, and it’s as if he’s beckoning me.
Josh, sensing the forming tractor beam going right past his
face turns his body, which only gives me the opening I need to begin my sprint
into Blake’s arms.
Blake pulls his hands out of his pockets just in time to
catch me.
I look up into my favorite emerald eyes, trying to speak in
a whisper, “You don’t have to say things like that, you know?” thinking that
maybe he says them to prove something, whether it’s to me or Josh.
He runs the tip of his nose down the bridge of mine, and
that perfect bubble forms around us, and I haven’t got a care in the world.
“I know I don’t have to, but I want to. It’s the truth,
isn’t it?”
Josh adjusts his throat loudly, rolling his eyes as he does
it. Blake and I turn our attention to him.
“Spare me the PDA until I get used it, will you?” Josh
snaps.
Blake defiantly drags his hands down my back, getting
dangerously close to my ass. This time I’m the one who wants to roll my eyes,
but it’s hard to ignore my body buzzing with anticipation at the movement.
Could we NOT do this front of my brother, please?
Alex Rosa lives in San
Diego, California. When she isn't scouring city parks or cafe's to write she is
more than likely trying to convince her friends to join her on her next
adventure. A sufferer of wanderlust, she is always looking for a new mountain
to climb, a canyon to hike, or a plane to board. Her resume consists of
coroner, to working at a zoo, and most recently as an executive assistant, but
finds her home amongst words, whether it be in books, or in film. Her
obsessions are on the brink of bizarre, but that's just the way she likes it.
