A second chance romance
set in the political intrigue of Washington DC.
She holds his darkest
secrets…He is her deepest regret.
Teague Roberts is a
Supreme Court nominee on the fast track to the nation's highest legal job. As
the best friend of the President's husband, he's a favored son in Washington,
and a man used to getting everything he wants. But Teague also hides a secret,
and it could explode his nomination, as well as the image he's spent years
crafting.
Deanna Forbes is
Washington's hottest new investigative reporter, and Teague's ex-fiancee. Her
history with the only man she's ever loved is complicated and filled with
remorse. When she's assigned to report on his nomination, Teague knows things
won't end well. Deanna could topple his house of cards.
As the confirmation
hearings heat up, and sparks fly between the former lovers, they must both
decide what matters more--the job or the person, ambition or heart. And when a
delicate dance toward reconciliation begins, more secrets will be revealed, old
betrayals will be unearthed, and two fractured souls will have one last chance
at forever. In the city where deception burns bright, will Teague and Deanna
rekindle their love, or flame out once and for all?
Teague walked along the
sidewalk outside the White House, trying his damnedest to figure out why he’d
asked her to coffee. Bloody hell, as Kamal would say, had he lost his mind? In
those moments in the press conference when he’d been replying to questions
while he struggled not to look at her, he’d felt like twelve years had been
stripped away in one supercharged moment. He still felt less than, and she was
still the most beautiful woman he’d ever seen.
Her thick dark hair was
long, just the way he’d always loved it, and certain parts of his anatomy had
no trouble remembering how he used to wrap those silky tresses around his hands
as he pumped into her from behind, long and slow.
Her skin was as clear and
unlined as the day he’d met her, and her sky-blue eyes were just as sparkling
and mischievous, promising that everything going on behind them wasn’t innocent
and sweet.
But her body. My God, her
body. She’d put on weight, in all the best places. She’d always had an athletic
build, long, muscular legs, and broad shoulders. Now she had an even more
defined ass, tits that made his hands itch to mold them, and curves for
miles.
He never should have asked
her out for coffee. What the hell had he been thinking?
“How about here?” she
asked as they approached the Beltway Bean.
“Sure,” he answered,
leaning in to open the door and hold it for her. She smelled like strawberry
wine, and his dick did a tango in his dress pants.
“You ever been here
before?” he asked as they stepped into line at the bar.
“A few times,” she
answered. “I like their cappuccinos.”
He chuckled. “You always
were a connoisseur.”
The small shop was
typically jammed, but after they got their drinks, he stalked a pair of senate
interns until they got nervous and left. Grabbing the table they’d vacated, he
waved her over, and they each took a chair at the high two top.
“So, what’s it been?” he
asked, even though he knew exactly, nearly down to the minute. “Ten years?”
“Twelve,” she answered. “I
was twenty and you were twenty-two the last time we had coffee.”
And sex, his mind added.
“Well, it appears the
years have been good to you.”
“And obviously, they’ve
been successful for you,” she added. They each sipped their drinks, the awkward
bleeding all over them.
“So, you married? Living
with someone?” he asked nonchalantly. Yeah, sure, that.
She shook her head. “No. I
was seeing someone back in Boston where I moved from, but it wasn’t going
anywhere.” She looked up at him from under her lashes. “And you?”
“No. No time for all that.
I work eighty hours a week and spend the other few at the gym or sleeping. I’m
not all that exciting.”
She shifted on her chair,
and her blouse slipped a touch, giving him a peek at the cleavage that hid
beneath. His heart raced and his skin heated.
“Well, from what I heard
on the news earlier, today’s been enough excitement for a few years at least.”
He chuckled softly. “It’s
been a strange day for sure.”
