Veronica
returned to her hometown seeking shelter for her shattered spirit. The last
thing she needs is a blue-eyed charmer who wants to show her how to live—and
love—again. Then she discovers Trent is not just another admirer, but a man who
knows her deepest secrets. Now Veronica must choose between running from her
past—or finding future happiness with the kind of man she swore she’d never
fall for….

This kiss.
Oh, this heavenly kiss. Veronica patted herself on the back for pushing aside
her first instinct to remove Jim’s hands from her waist in a public place. The
way he’d whispered “sexy” drove a warm blast straight to the core of her belly.
This time
when they kissed, his mouth molded perfectly to hers, not his usual awkward
preamble. He was strong and demanding, yet not too pushy. His relaxed lips
lulled her into a quick surrender, a surrender she strangely didn’t mind at
all.
His hand
slipped to the back of her head, and she sighed into his mouth, wishing this
kiss would never end. Slowly and surely, however, he pulled away, but she kept
her eyes closed, clinging to the sensation a few seconds longer as his breath
landed near her ear.
“God, baby,”
he said, low and husky. “I can’t wait to get out of here with you later.”
Not. Jim’s.
Voice.
Her eyes
flashed open. She slapped her palms to the stranger’s chest, pushed him away.
“What the hell!”
He stumbled
back a few steps, his mouth agape and brows furrowed. “You’re not Angie.”
“Well, you’re
not Jim! How dare you touch—”
“Calm down. I
thought you were my date.” He blinked a few times. “Hey, I know you. From—”
“The
elevator.” Her head spun as she stared into his crystal blue eyes. His gaze
swept her from head to toe, making his dark lashes flutter. “Thank God you kept
your lips to yourself then.”
“Don’t be
ridiculous.” His smiled dropped. “I’d never do that to a stranger.” With a
slight cock of his head, a grin creased his cheeks and he lowered his voice.
“Although I’m pretty sure we both enjoyed what just happened.”
Her face
burned, as if set on fire. “How dare you suggest that I—”
“Hey! You
guys are early.” Sophie entered the bar area, Duncan in tow.
Veronica
tried to speak but found herself more flabbergasted when Sophie walked right up
to Hotlips and they hugged. “Hi, Trent.”
Veronica
pinched herself in a bid to wake from this surreal dream. Before she could
gather her bearings, Duncan surrounded her in one of his big bear hugs.
“Ronnie, you look beautiful. New dress?”
She blinked,
nodded.
Sophie came
over and hugged Veronica. “You okay?” she whispered in Veronica’s ear.
“I’m fine. Happy
birthday.” From over Sophie’s shoulder, Trent watched them. Veronica narrowed
her gaze, but he only grinned, like the devil might if he learned your biggest
secret.
Duncan slung
an arm around Trent’s shoulders. “I see you’ve met my brother.”
“Yes. I have.”
The heat of her cheeks still simmered.
Trent winked
in her direction, and a sizzling blast assaulted every inch of her skin.
“Pearls made
me feel right at home.”
“Pearl?
That’s not my name.”
“Pearls,” he
corrected, an extra emphasis on the s. “Like your necklace.”
She reached
up and touched the smooth, hard jewels near her collarbone. A few other guests
arrived and snagged Sophie and Duncan’s attention. While she clutched the hard
beads and tried to digest what just went down, she glanced at Trent. He watched
her closely, but a playful twinkle in his eyes suggested the
case-of-mistaken-identity kiss hadn’t upset him a bit.
