Blurb
“Tell me a happy something, Sutton.”
I
was only seven the first time Grady Bowen whispered those words to me.
Cloaked by the black sky under a blanket of stars, it was easy to get
lost. He didn’t have any good memories of his own, and needed to borrow
mine. I’d willingly give him anything.
Being
infatuated with that boy was a beautiful curse. What could have been
special didn’t get the chance to bloom. He’d never see me as more than
his best friend’s kid sister. That was a hard lesson to learn, but not
the most difficult.
Grady
had always been struggling against the odds. Eventually he quit
fighting and let his family’s reputation own him. Try as I might, those
influences were beyond my reach.
He
didn’t mean to break my heart. Or maybe he did. I shouldn’t have made
it so easy for him. Either way, our wrongs against each other carved new
lines between us.
I
went four years without seeing Grady—each one more painful than the
last. That distance did nothing to dull my feelings toward him. But
things are different now. Most noticeably is Grady. I barely recognize
this man he’s become. And that’s the way he intends to keep it. Not that
it really matters.
Grady Bowen stopped being my happy something long ago.

Excerpt
I take a closer inspection of this swoony charmer. Not an ounce of deceit registers in his expression. There’s no stony edge blocking his emerald stare. His ironclad guard is nonexistent. Zero inhibitions block the sliver of space between us. Everything is on display for me to see. I should be the one to stop this. He’s obviously not in his normal state and under the influence of hefty narcotics.
Who the hell am I kidding? Basking in a rare smile from Grady is a gift I won’t take for granted. Appreciating from a safe distance will be the true challenge. I test my willpower by trying to evade the sneaky fingers inching up my thigh. But our skin is magnetized and moving is impossible. The golden specks in his eyes glitter at my failed attempt. Yep, he’s onto me. I’m a goner.
As if there was another option.
The itch to comb through his shaggy hair tickles my fingertips. Would he lean into my embrace if I cupped his jaw? The tiniest bit of resolve stops me from acting on those impulses. But it doesn’t stop my brain from working overtime.
I wonder if anyone else has seen this side of him. The romantic in me wants to believe I’m the first, and hopefully only. I shove the fanciful notion aside. “Well, you sure seem to be in a great mood.”
That luscious bottom lip gets trapped between his teeth. I’d love to take a bite. As if hearing my thoughts, Grady rolls toward me. “Abso-fucking-lutely. Why wouldn’t I be? I have a gorgeous woman within reach, ready to take care of my aches and pains.”
This time I really do choke on my tongue. “W-what?”
The hand he has on my leg drifts higher. “You sound shocked, Sutt.”
How could I not be? “That’s an understatement.”
“Stay with me,” Grady croons.
“For the night?”
“For always.” His gaze is smoldering. Damn, he’s sexy. And irresistible. I’m liable to straddle his lap and offer him everything. But the chains of our past hold me hostage. I can’t fall victim so easily.
“Why now, Gray?” Whatever painkillers he’s on are proving to be an effective truth serum. I might as well use it to my advantage.
His blink is slow. “I miss the peace, Sutt. My slice of goodness.”
