Excerpt:
“I’m sorry, sweetheart.”
She sucked back a sob, her fight slipping
away. “I’ve wanted to be mad at you for so long.” She rolled her eyes. “Why do you have to look so damn good in
that uniform?”
He chuckled and cupped her face in his
hands, lowering his head to brush his lips gently against hers.
Instant ignition.
“Oh, God, please don’t.” She
placed her palms to his solid chest, feeling his muscled pecks under all that
uniform. Her body trembled from the tip of her toes to the top of her head.
Startled by her immediate reaction to him, she pushed him away.
“This can’t happen, Nicholas. I’m not young
and naïve anymore. You broke my heart once.
I won’t let you do it again.” Whew. She hadn’t been sure she’d actually
be able to say those words aloud.
His hands dropped to his sides, not stopping
her when she stepped away.
“Dana, we need to talk. There’s a lot
you don’t know about the night I left.”
Too
little too late. She needed to flee,
but couldn’t think beyond this moment. She wanted this man so much it hurt, but
too much pain had been suffered. She turned, shaking her head. “It doesn’t
matter anymore.”
He reached for her arm.
“It does
matter, damn it. At least to me.” He ran his hand through his hair. “Please stay, Dana. You’re here and this
night is about our friends and their wedding. That’s the most important thing
right now—being here for our friends.”
She hesitated. Damn
him, he was right. She was here for
her friend, even though she was really pissed at Amy for purposely leading her
into this mess. Amy knew full well Dana would be a wreck, but she would deal
with her friend later. She avoided Nick’s eyes and just nodded in agreement.
