boundaries of their relationship; but a one-night stand threatens to ruin it
all. As Matthew’s feelings for Becky grow, he’s torn between guilt and
heartache over his deceased fiancée. Can Becky break through his wall and help
him heal?
When he probed with more
questions about what I looked for in query letters, I told him I liked romance
novels and I basically looked for potential book boyfriends.
“Book boyfriends?”
He chuckled out loud. As I watched, his chest moved to the rhythm of his laugh.
“Really?” He took his last bite and chugged his coffee.
“Yes…really.”
I had already finished my plate since I was too nervous to talk.
“Is that like for
people who can’t get one in real life?” He was totally amused by this notion.
“No…silly,”
I giggled. “Readers read books to help them escape from the daily routine of
life. Many of these romance books have a swoon-worthy, gorgeous guy with really
nice abs and a six pack, who can deliver wild, hot sex.” Just the thought alone
made me turn red and I froze when he gave me a heated look. Then, his eyes
concentrated on my lips, shifted to my breasts, then back up to my eyes when I
said ‘wild, hot sex.’ I just described him and what he could potentially do.
Gravitating toward me, his
eyes locked lustfully on mine. His lips were just inches away as they parted to
speak and I didn’t know how he got so close to me. “I would like to be your book
boyfriend,” he said with the hottest sound that could sing out of his lustrous,
lick-able mouth. The puff of his breath on my lips sizzled way down to my sex.
He reached out to my face, his thumb sensually sliding, feather light to touch
my bottom lip with one long, slow stroke. As I watched his tongue glide over
his bottom lip at the same time, I quivered beyond control.
Completely
dumbfounded, I sat there staring at him and in my mind, I had already taken off
my clothes for him. Blinking because that was all I could do, I wanted to say
yes, but my pride and my head knew better and stopped me.
Suddenly, he broke his gaze
and it felt like he had just dumped ice water over my head. “Is that what a
book boyfriend would say and do?” he chuckled as he picked up our plates and
took them to the kitchen.
What just happened? I was
almost certain my face was deep red, because I felt it down to my toes.
Maxwell Knight was dangerously good-looking, seductively charming, and definitely trouble. He was everything Jeanella Mefferd did NOT need now.
Fresh out of college, life was predictable and comfortable for Jeanella. She had the strength of her friends, the security of her job, and she was dating a reliable man; it was all smooth sailing. That was until one night, when she met someone who made her feel things she'd never felt before-dangerous, heart pounding, breathless heat.
Never imagining she would see him again, Jeanella has no idea what to do when fate steps in a thrusts Maxwell Knight into her life, just as things were beginning to change around her. When she lands her dream job and travels to New York for fashion week, can she focus on her career instead of on Maxwell?
Will she ignore all the danger signs and jump straight into his arms; or would she miss out on the chance of finding something great?
