A second chance for romance...
Hidden in
Graystone Manor is a book containing all the dark secrets of Harmony Harbor,
and Ava DiRossi is determined to find it. No one-especially not her ex-husband,
Griffin Gallagher-can ever discover what really tore her life apart all those
years ago. With Griffin back in town, it's more important than ever that she
find the book before someone else does. Because her ex is still angry with her
for leaving him. And he still has no idea Ava never stopped loving him...
Ava is no
longer the vibrant, happy woman Griffin had once loved and married, and he
would do anything to bring back the sparkle to her brilliant green eyes. But
what's never changed are the sexy sparks of attraction between Ava and Griffin,
and he won't give her up again without a fight. He knows there's the real
possibility of a future together... if the truth doesn't burn the bridge between
them forever.
Griffin Gallagher
gaped at his ex-wife standing fully clothed under the shower’s icy spray. Beneath
a dripping wet gray sweater several sizes too big, her uniform clung to her
birdlike frame, an ugly pair of shoes on her feet. Her long, jet-black hair plastered
to her head, Ava stared at him through the water streaming down her pale, gaunt
face.
Despite the changes
to the woman he’d once loved more than life itself, he felt a familiar
stirring, a familiar heat low in his belly. He was reacting to her as though
nothing had changed. With her gaze riveted on the evidence of his body’s
betrayal, embarrassment and anger coursed through him.
“What the hell are
you doing in here, Ava?” He shut off the water with such force that he nearly
ripped the lever off the wall.
Her impossibly
green eyes jerked to his face, reminding him where they’d lingered only seconds
before. Swearing under his breath, he covered himself with the shower curtain
and then leaned to his right to grab two towels off the rack. He threw her one.
She blinked and caught it before it hit her in the face.
Reeling from the
realization that he still wanted her, still felt something for her after all
this time, he said through clenched teeth, “Get out. Now,” and wrapped the
towel around his waist.
“I...I’m sorry. I
didn’t expect you so soon. I was…I was just cleaning the tiles.”
Everything about
her was foreign to him—the meek, stammering voice; the way she stood with her
shoulders bowed; the raw, chapped hands that trembled as she brought the towel to
her face. She looked exhausted, and she was lying.
He opened his mouth
to ask her what was going on. Then quickly closed it before he uttered the
questions that had been eating at him since he saw her at his
great-grandmother’s funeral. Are you
okay? What happened to you? What can I do to take the shadows from under your
eyes? It was no longer his job, no longer his right.
He’d been there
before, a long time ago. And all it had gotten him was a broken heart. It’d
taken him years to recover. There’d been a time when he didn’t think he ever
would. With Ava, he’d never again allow his heart to overrule his head.
