Never look
back…unless that’s where your heart belongs.
Love and
Friendship, Book 2
Julia Maxwell
was a seize-the-moment party girl until the night she spent with up-and-coming
rocker Ryan Callander. From that moment, she was a one-man woman. Pity he
hasn’t kept with the program.
Tired of the
secrets that have kept her out of the press and Ryan’s fans happy, angry with
mounting evidence of infidelity, Julia is older, wiser, and determined to divorce
his cheatin’ ass.
Ryan’s long
European tour had more than its share of hard knocks—one of which landed on his
head when he was mugged. Divorce papers waiting for him at home are a shock
that fills in some of the holes in his sketchy memory. But it could be too late
to salvage his marriage.
If Ryan thinks
flirtatious smiles, seductive touches, and hot-and-heavy kisses are going to
smooth things over, Julia’s got a hammer with his name on it. To her surprise,
he picks it up, determined to rebuild a bright future for both of them. But the
past is lurking with some missing pieces that could bring their hearts crashing
down.
Warning:
Contains a pissed ex-stripper turned burlesque dancer, a bunch of nosy friends
and a smooth-talking rocker with one thing on his mind. Stripper poles and
skimpy costumes may be involved.
Teaser Excerpt:
“Julia!”
Ryan crossed the room in seconds flat and grabbed her into a tight embrace
before she could react. His familiar scent rolled over her, masculine with a
hint of spicy green and the outdoors. He pressed her head to his chest,
apparently content to hold her against his trembling frame. For long seconds
she let him, too stunned to react. Then her shock gave way to fury, and she
lashed out with her foot, kicking him in the shin.
“Ow!”
He released her abruptly, an aggrieved scowl distorting his pretty face. “What
did you do that for?”
Cripes,
she’d broken her foot, not that she’d admit it to him. She gathered the pain
and hurled it back in harsh words. “You can’t come waltzing back after nearly a
year and expect me to welcome you. Didn’t you receive the divorce papers?”
“I
don’t want a divorce.” His blue eyes bored into her. Determined. Steady. He
glanced at their avid audience. “Maybe we should take this somewhere private?”
Julia
dug in her heels, feeling contrary. He had no right to burst into her life
again. And as for orders—forget it. She squared her shoulders and glowered at
him. “They’re my friends. They can hear anything you have to say to me.” Aw,
heck. Ryan. She’d thought she’d hate him… No! She did hate him. “You cheated on
me.”
“When
did Julia get married?” Susan asked.
Curiosity
buffeted Julia in waves, coming at her from all directions. Great. Just great.
She
lowered her voice, steeling herself against his charisma. One look at his dark
hair, blue eyes and strong runner’s body and her willpower seeped through the
soles of her favorite high-heel pumps. Go figure.
“I
can’t talk to you now. We should discuss this with our lawyers present.”
A
total contradiction of her previous words. Off-balance, surprise and a tinge of
outrage ran hotly through her veins, yet she wanted to grab him and lay one on
his sexy lips. She wanted to lick along the tail of the dragon winding around
one biceps and explore the scaled body tattooed on his shoulder. How could he
do this to her?
