From USA Today bestseller Nelle LâAmour, a steamy and suspenseful ripped from the headlines second chance romance that will have you gasping for air.
Skye:
It was love at first sight with Finn. The downtown bad boy with the piercing blue eyes, tattooed biceps, and museum-worthy chiseled body. But while he struggled, I was driven. An investigative reporter determined to pursue the truth to get my story. My credo: Dig deep, then dig deeper. Then one time, I dug too deep and literally dug my own grave, losing everything and everyone dear to me.
Until life gave me a second chance.
Finn:
Being a renowned artist and single dad isnât easy. My demanding fiancée doesnât help. No matter how much I try, she wants nothing to do with my precious five-year-old daughter.
Then she came along. The hot as sin teacher. Scarlet Callahan. Sheâs everything my fiancée isnât. Warm, funny, and down-to-earth, she loves my daughter as much as my daughter loves her. Iâm inexplicably attracted to her, but she keeps her distance. Like sheâs hiding something. Except Iâm going to uncover her secret even if it means risking everything Iâve ever wanted.
And everyone Iâve ever loved.
Excerpt
One hour later, weâre in Brooklyn, at Finnâs painting-filled loft, butt-naked on his one piece of furnitureâ a micro-suede futon thatâs sprawled out on the butcher-block floor. Our bodies are entwined, a mad tangle of arms, legs, and tongues that canât get enough of one another. Touching, sucking, licking, tasting. Exploring each other as if weâre two conquerors discovering new lands. Springsteenâs âSheâs the Oneâ plays on his sound system.
So in the moment, my very skilled, generous, rough around the edges lover brings me to places Iâve never known before. In positions Iâve only read about. Giving me one outrageous orgasm after another. Each one more mind-blowing than the one before. Making me forget about what happened at Christieâs. And my now expired V-Card.
We spend the entire night fucking our brains out. Opening our hearts. Bearing our souls. Weâre bathed in each otherâs scents, twined in each otherâs limbs, wrapped in each otherâs dreams. I tell him about my nomadic, magical childhood, traveling across the globe while my parents filmed award-winning documentaries. And then about their untimely, tragic death. The Cliff Notes version of my education. Followed by my dreams and aspirations.
My past seems happily ever after Finn shares his. I learn heâs a product of the system. The son of a crack whore mother who abandoned him at birth, leaving him alone to drift from one foster family to another. A talented artist from an early age, he turned to painting as a means to both escape his hardships and express himself. It was the only constant in his ever changing, challenging life. His passion when love was nowhere to be had. Two years older than meâtwenty-fiveâ he tells me he won a full scholarship to the prestigious Pratt Institute, from which he graduated.
âWhat were you doing at Christieâs?â I ask, during a reprieve from our reckless sex, my head resting on his chiseled chest, his arm wrapped round me.
âNetworking with collectors and dealers, hoping to jumpstart my painting career. What about you?â
âAfter my depressing job interview at NBC, I impulsively went inside just to warm up and get a drink.â
A chance encounter.
He affectionately flicks my nose. âThey should have hired you.â
âOne of your paintings should have been hanging at Christieâs.â
We exchange a laugh beforeâ¦
We fuck again and again. Everywhere. Every which way. In his bed⦠on the kitchen counterâ¦against the wallsâ¦in the shower. No part of his loft is left unmarked.
***
Last night, it was lust.
By morning, itâs love.
One day later, I get a life-changing phone call. A job offer from Conquest Broadcasting in Los Angeles to become an associate producer in their news department.
That night after a celebratory session of delicious lovemaking, my naked, beautiful Finn rolls off the futon and stands up.
âNow, Iâm gonna make you an offer you canât refuse.â
I laugh at him, appreciating his valiant attempt to sound like Marlon Brando in The Godfather. âWhat?â
âItâs a surprise. Close your eyes.â
I do as he asks. A few moments later, a ticklish, wet sensation brushes across my abdomen.
I squirm. âWhat are you doing, Finn?â It lasts less than thirty seconds.
âBaby, sit up and open your eyes. I hoist myself up to an upright position. Finnâs sitting cross-legged next to me, holding a paintbrush, the bristles coated in a shimmer of red. He flashes a cocky smile.
I look down. My eyes grow wide as I silently read the two words heâs painted on my torso.
Marry me.
Two weeks later, we exchange our forever vows at a chapel in Las Vegas en route to Los Angeles.
The city of angels.
The city of dreams.
