After nearly a year and a half of grieving the loss of her husband, twenty-seven year old Alexa Sullivan Tate is headed back to her hometown after a decade of being away. She has no idea her high school crush, Jace McAllister, the guy who stole her heart the same night that he broke it, is more than ready to pick up the pieces. Jace has spent the last ten years in the Army defusing bomb after bomb, trying to forget the girl who ignited all his passions. Little does he know that the spark still exists. Ten years ago they had smoldering chemistry, but the spark between them now might light a fuse that leads to an explosion even Jace can't stop. Not that he wants to. If only Alexa can get past her guilt and trust her heart again. But how do you put it all on the line when you've already lost everything once before? *While this is a series, each book will be standalone with spinoff characters

EXCERPT:
Jace has me pressed up against the side of his car, his hands
cupping both sides of my face. Looking into my eyes, he leans in, stopping just
inches from my lips. I think he’s about to kiss me when he speaks instead
“I told you I’d come back.”
A smile breaks out on my face when he
closes the space between us, pressing his lips against mine. His kiss is soft
and slow to begin with, but I’ve been aching for his touch for weeks, so I
slide my hands up his t shirt, letting out a soft moan when I make contact with
his skin. At the sound, his kiss hardens, and his tongue is against my lips,
begging for entrance. They part immediately, allowing his tongue to collide
with mine and our kisses turn frantic as we try to make up for lost time. His
hands move to the small of my back before he slips them under my shirt and he
traces small circles over my skin, causing me to shiver. My hands move over his
taut abs as I make my way up his muscular chest. My thumb grazes his nipple,
and he groans, breaking our kiss.
“Fuck, I’ve missed you,” he says in a
husky voice, wrapping his arms around me in a tight embrace. My head leans
against his hard chest, where I can hear his heart pounding. Smiling silently
to myself, I’m secretly thankful that he still seems to be as affected by me as
I am by him.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
I'm a twenty six year old book junkie who is also obsessed with sports. Bengals, Buckeyes, Reds are my teams! I work for the government during the day, hang out with Air National Guard on the weekends, and am married to a guy 15 inches taller than me. We're quite the pair! We currently live right outside of Dayton, OH with our two cats. I've been reading since I was a kid. My mom was a librarian, so it was a given. Heck, she even made sure we watched Wishbone instead of the Smurfs. In 2011 when I graduated from college, my mom bought me a Nook, and then in the summer of 2012 I found this amazing site called Goodreads. I was introduced to so many amazing indie/self-published authors. After reading almost 400 books that year, my husband gave me the push to finally sit down and write my own. It was a rocky start, but over time the words started flowing and I couldn't get Jace and Lexi out of my head. If I’m not writing or looking through tons of photos of hot men, all in the name of research, then you can probably find me curled up with my Kindle, ignoring the rest of the world. I love my sports almost as much as I love my books. My other obsessions include red wine, hot men, country music, and all things Grace Potter. I LOVE to hear from readers, so please feel free to contact via any social media site listed below.GIVEAWAY:
