Jillian Lima’s whole world was destroyed in a span of a few hours. The same night her childhood love, Brock ‘the Beast’ Mitchell, broke her heart, her life was irrevocably altered by the hand of a stranger with a gun. It takes six years to slowly glue together the shattered pieces of her life, but Jillian is finally ready to stop existing in a past full of pain and regret. She takes a job at her father’s martial arts Academy and she’s going out on her first date since a failed relationship that was more yuck than yum. Jillian is determined to start living.
She just never expected Brock to be a part of her life again. But he’s firmly back in her life before she knows it, and not only is he older, he’s impossibly more handsome, more teasing and more everything. And when he sees Jillian, he’s no longer capable of thinking of her as the little girl who was his shadow growing up or the daughter of the man who gave him a second chance at life. He sees the woman who’d always been there for him, the one person who believed in him no matter what.
Brock knows she’s the one he should’ve made his, and what begins as a tentative friendship quickly turns to red-hot chemistry that sparks a flame that burns brighter than lust. Falling for Brock again risks more than her heart, because when the sorrow-filled and guilt-ridden past resurfaces, and a web of lies threatens to rip them apart, the fallout could lay waste to everything they’ve fought to build together, and destroy the dreams of those they care most about.
“You tired?”
“Um…” I was so
articulate.
His grin returned.
“If not, I thought maybe we could share a…drink.”
“I…I don’t have
anything good to drink. I mean, I have a bottle of wine that’s unopened, but
it’s like the cheap wine that really doesn’t do anything other than give you a
headache,” I rambled on, pulse pounding. “I also have some soda and coffee,
but—”
“Water or soda would
be fine,” he said with a laugh.
I opened my mouth
and my lips moved wordlessly for a few seconds. “Are you wanting to…wanting to
come in?”
“Yeah. I’m wanting
to come in, Jillian.”
He wanted to come
in, and my mind took that down a long and dirty road. I looked up at him
and I had to crane my neck, because he was standing that close. A sudden thick
tension sprung alive, filling the tiny space between us. Our gazes locked once
more. Neither of us moved or spoke. His lips parted on a quick, shallow inhale.
My chest rose in a deep, shaky breath. What was happening here? I didn’t know,
but I wasn’t completely naïve. He was looking at me in a way he hadn’t when we
were younger, and that didn’t make sense.
And I had a feeling
if I let Brock in, I would begin to see things that were there, and that was so
dangerous for us—for me.
Wetting my lips, I
looked away just as his gaze sharpened. “It’s really late.”
“It’s not too late,”
he said in a voice that stretched my nerve endings.
My heart leapt into
my throat. “I just…I don’t think it would be smart.”
One side of his lips
kicked up. “Some of the best things start off as not being very smart. Like
when I tried to rob your father.”
A surprised laugh
burst out of me. “That wasn’t smart, and you’re lucky that worked out in your
favor.”
“So true.” His head
lowered, and I tensed, thinking that he just might be getting ready to do
something really not smart.
He pressed a kiss to
my forehead.
So not something a
boss should do.
But I didn’t really
care about that as I stood still before him.
His warm breath
danced over my cheek and then it stirred the wisps of hair around my temple.
“But you’re right.”
Relief and
disappointment battled inside me as I found myself nodding jerkily. I let
myself in, not daring to look at him as I closed the door behind me and locked
it. Only then, as I rested my forehead against the door, did I realize his
jacket was still draped over my shoulders.
“Shit,” I muttered.
Somewhere behind me,
Rhage meowed pitifully.
I didn’t move,
because a part of me was still out in the hall, standing there, seriously
considering letting Brock in. And that part of me was an incredibly stupid
part, because I was desperate to know what would’ve happened if I had let him
in.
