SYNOPSIS
One dark moment was all it took to turn twenty-four-year-old Dominic Kinkaide's world black. On the night of his high school graduation, a single incident changed him forever, and he became a hardened man-famous in the eyes of the world, but tortured inside. Now all he cares about is losing himself in the roles that he plays.
At twenty-three years old, Jacey Vincent doesn't realize how much her father's indifference has affected her. She is proof that sometimes it isn't one specific moment that wrecks a person, but an absence of moments. She tries to find acceptance in the arms of men to fill the void-a plan that has worked just fine for her, until she meets Dominic. When jaded Dominic and strong-willed Jacey are thrown together, the combination of his secrets and her issues turns their attraction into the perfect storm. It could change their lives for good-if it doesn't tear them both apart…

EXCERPT
He laughs, a velvety
sound. “Babe, I could show you a bunch
of things you’ve never done. And I
guarantee, you’d like every one of them.”
For some reason, I have no
doubt of that. It’s an exciting thought.
He bends his head and nips at
my neck, then soothes the bite with a soft suck. His lips, so soft and smooth, ease the pain
of the bite away. His nearness is
intoxicating and everything about him screams that he is capable of so many
things… things that would please me… things that would embarrass me in the
light of day.
But still, I don’t move. I stay
right with him, my gaze frozen on his.
Keeping his eyes on mine, he
slowly dips his head and plunges his tongue into my mouth, completely
plundering it, consuming me yet again.
It’s like he can’t kiss me without devastating all of my senses at once,
annihilating my thoughts and causing my blood to throb as it all races toward
one destination… the V between my legs.
Right where I ache for
him.
He’s like a drug….and one taste
just isn’t enough.
I open up my mouth and breathe
around his lips, sucking in air, grasping at his back and pulling him
closer. He reaches back and grabs my
hands, holding them together at my wrists and pinning them over my head against
the plexi-glass gondola cage. I’m
trapped here with him, yet there’s no place I’d rather be.
The energy around us now is
primal and raw…and it’s exhilarating too, because we’re out in public. Every time the gondola swoops along the
ground before it begins its ascent upward again, anyone could look in and see
what we’re doing. They could see Dominic
pinning me against the wall, and his other hand buried in my crotch, if only
they looked closely.
Honestly, I think he might like
that idea.
“What are you doing?” I finally
manage to whisper, pulling away just ever so slightly.
His eyes are a little
unfocused, his pupils dilated. “What would you like for me to do, Jacey?”
He knows. Oh, God, he knows. He knows exactly what I’d like for him to do.
