Read the Exclusive Excerpt
The moment Faith opened the door and Alec saw her, he knew his suspicions were right
on the mark.
He felt differently about her than he had about anyone in a long time. More so, if he
dug deep
enough into his memory. She chased away the dark. And somehow, since heโd known her,
his writing
had grown stronger.
Yet she acted like she could take him or leave him. Faith may have seemed aloof, but
he suspected
that under the surface there was strength and heart. Right next to insecurity and
uncertainty. In
fact, she seemed like someone hell-bent on taking care of herself, but failing.
That did funny things to his chest.
She gestured him inside, but he stayed rooted to the spot, taking in the sight of her.
If heโd
texted any other woman and said he was coming over, theyโd be wearing ten pounds of
makeup, high
heels, and nothing else. That wasnโt arrogance on his part, just stone-cold truth.
Women wanted
his money, his fame, or his body. No in-betweens or exceptions.
And then there was Faith. A haphazard ponytail left wisps of brown hair around her
face. The loose
cotton shorts and white tee she wore shouldnโt be sexy. The lamplight behind her hid
most of her
freckles, but he still wanted to kiss each one, strip her to see if she had more. And
where.
โHi,โ he forced out.
โHello. Are you going to come inside or should we talk through the doorway?โ
The last thing he wanted to do was talk. He crossed the threshold and fit his lips
over hers,
reaching out and tugging her flush against his chest. And damn, the spark wasnโt a
fluke. The same
heat and need flared to life. Consumed.
Tightening his hold on her, he lifted her enough to back her away from the entry and
kicked the
door shut, all the while keeping his mouth fused to hers. He spun her around and
pressed her back
against the door, planting his palms on either side of her head. If he kept his hands
off her, he
could stop this before the house went up in flames. Probably.
Faith didnโt get the memo. Her fingers drove into his hair and tugged. Her tongue
warred with his
for dominance and he was damn tempted to let her win. Just for the hell of it. To let
himself be
conquered for once.
When one of her legs snaked around his hips, drawing his jean-clad erection snug
against the apex
of her thighs, he groaned and rested his forehead against hers. Tried to breathe.
โYouโre a
sleeper,โ he mumbled, head still somewhere in the vicinity of that kiss.
โSleeper?โ she breathed.
God, that voice of hers got to him in ways he couldnโt possibly explain. โYeah. A
sleeper. You
seem all reserved and calm on the surface, lying in wait until the moment of
initiation, and then
you strike.โ
Her amber eyes lifted to his, her dilated pupils telling him she was just as affected.
โThat was a
compliment, right?โ
He laughed and dropped a kiss on her shoulder. Smelled so good. โYes, that was a
compliment.โ

"Fun, emotional, and totally engaging!" CARLA NEGGERS, New York Times
Bestselling Author
For ten months, bestselling novelist Alec Winston hasnโt been able to type a single
word, and heโs
coming dangerously close to breaching his publishing contract. An invitation from his
brother to
spend the summer in Wilmington Beach might be just the thing to blast through his
writerโs block.
Yet Alec discovers more than a spark of inspiration on the sunny sands. He meets an
amber-eyed
muse who makes him think about much more than books . . .
Faith Armstrong has finally gathered the courage to leave her past behind and accepted
a job as a
private tutor, hoping for a fresh start on the North Carolina coast. This is the home
sheโs always
longed forโnot just a place, but a state of mind. Sheโs felt invisible her whole life,
so the host
of new friends and the attention of a sexy author have her head spinning.
But Alec has a secret that could prove this isnโt the life Faith dreamed of after all
. . .
