Synopsis

The lines we once crossed so easily have widened and torn us apart . . .

Once upon a time I thought Finn and I would live happily ever after, but real life doesn't always have a happy ending. He's testing my trust, and I'm losing faith in the man I thought I'd spend the rest of my life with, and there’s nothing I can do to stop it. He’s the one I trusted to keep me safe, but now he’s the source of my greatest pain . . .

Forgiveness is fragile, and some fractures never fully heal . . .

One mistake—a slip in a moment of weakness—might cost me everything I've worked so hard for. The thing about trust is that it's a lot easier to lose than it is to build. Just as I'm about to give up and surrender to the demons from my past, an unexpected threat reminds me what I'm best at: protecting the woman I love. Whether or not she wants me, I will fight for Carrie and our daughter, and I will keep them safe—no matter the cost.

Even if I have to put my life and my heart on the line.

Excerpt

I stared at him, not sure what to say. My husband was pure muscle, hotness, and sex. Everything about him screamed pleasure—from his hard shoulders, to his chiseled abs, to his narrow waist that tapered down to that V that made smart girls dumb.

That little V had worked on me all those years ago. It still did. And that wasn’t even including those bright blue eyes of his, and all that hot ink...

“Ginger?” he said, his voice seductive and sweet.

I quickly looked back into his eyes. “Yeah?”

“If you don’t stop stripping the rest of my clothes off with your eyes, I won’t be responsible for my actions. I’m going to have to fuck you so hard, you’ll sit uncomfortably for the rest of the day.” He leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees. “Remember that time in Mexico, when we made love on the balcony, overlooking the ocean and the stars? This could blow that time away. Think about that.”

I swallowed a moan, remembering that night all too clearly. He’d taken me from behind and made me come numerous times. I’d limped for two days afterward. It had been wonderful. But then I forced myself to remember something else: The way he’d pulled back from me yesterday. He hadn’t felt ready then, so he probably wasn’t ready now.

Averting my eyes for a second, I muttered, “I’ll stop.”

“Pity.” He glanced down at my mouth before moving back up to my eyes. “It would’ve been fun reminding you why we should be naked and in that bed where you slept all alone last night. Think I could make you come before I had you naked?”

Heck yeah, I did. “Finn...”

He stood up and came over to me, his hand skimming down my lower back and over the side of my butt. “I bet I could take these off and have you screaming out in pleasure within thirty seconds. Want to test me out? Take me for a test drive? See if I’ve lost my touch?”
