Greg Mallory isn't the kind of man to wallow just because he was left at the altar. Not when there are plenty of women to help him forget his heartbreak. But as the only Mallory son, he has an obligation to carry on the family name. When Greg's runaway bride returns, his head tells him to keep his distance, but his body and heart are both begging for a second chance.
Faith Copeland bolted out of Darling Cove with a shameful secret and stayed away for ten years thinking Greg Mallory would never forgive her. Coming home means facing her past and Greg. She just didn't think he still had the power to make her melt after all this time.
One moment alone proves their attraction is stronger than ever. Are they brave enough to start fresh? Or will past secrets destroy their second chance at happy-ever-after once and for all?
Short Excerpt
Must Have Faith
“Can I ask you something?” Faith choked out, pushing away
the fear of her dream and letting her body’s natural attraction to Greg build
inside to calm and soothe her.
“You can ask,” he coyly replied stepping closer to the bed.
She hadn’t meant to just…leave ten years ago. But guilt and
confusion had hijacked her better senses. “Are you still mad at me?”
“No, Faith.” His voice was hard even though the response
should have made her feel better.
It didn’t. “Good.” She nodded to cover up the sting in her
heart.
His blunt answer hurt more than if it were a yes. That would
have meant perhaps there were still feelings lingering close to the surface.
No, meant he was over it. Over her. And Greg Mallory was too much of a man to
wallow.
“Do you want me to go downstairs?” he asked gruffly.
“No.” She hoped her direct answer had the same effect on
him. And the way she was looking at him, biting her lower lip.
“Me neither.” He took several heavy steps until his knees
fell hard on the mattress.
The attraction between her and Greg had always been off the
charts. It had confirmed the faith she’d had for many years that their bodies
were made for each other. Fantastic sex had always been the tagline to their
story.
Greg came at her with an open mouth while she licked her
lips waiting for him. At first contact, his tongue was hard and firm taking
control. He sat up and yanked off his leather jacket revealing a soft blue
sweater underneath. He fell back on top of her, his fingers tangled in bundles
of her hair. “God, you feel so good.” He dragged his lips along her throat,
skimming her collarbone. “I want to touch every inch of you.”
“Go ahead,” she whispered, heady with passion while her bare
legs wrapped tightly around his waist. She quivered and ached for him. Greg.
Not just anyone.
Greg’s lips returned to her mouth. He kissed her holding her
face and fisting her hair. The delicious spicy scent of him sent pools of heat
straight to her core. Against his lips, she whined with pleasure.
When he sat back and fumbled with his jeans, she climbed
forward. Her greedy hands mixed with his to get his pants off. She had to have
him. Now! The zipper was part way down and Faith lifted her head to toss a mess
of hair out of the way. Doing so caused her to focus on the two suitcases
sitting in the corner of her bedroom.
The reminder that she was moving to London made her feel
like she’d been slapped. Upon receiving the call to take over the bureau, she
would be required to leave immediately.
Faith was going to leave. Again.
