Everyone
has secrets; secrets meant to be kept—hidden away where nobody can discover the
truth. Adrian O’Donnell (aka: Dre Donley) is no exception. Dre spins tales and
half-truths like it’s his job, keeping the reality of his past buried deep
within each lie he fabricates. On the other hand, Kathryn Howell is the
exception to the rule. She’s a straight-shooter, a tell-it-like-it-is, no
filter kind of girl.
Kathryn’s honesty and straightforwardness is the ultimate turn on for a guy like Dre. He’s never met someone so sincere, so full of truth and innocence. Their chemistry is unavoidable, their connection, magnetic. When Dre sets out to make Kathryn fall for him, he doesn’t realize the grave mistake he’s making. Kathryn’s strength and convictions do not falter, even for an irresistible man like Dre. When his past resurfaces, and the lies come tumbling forth, Kathryn must decide if his deceit and betrayal can be forgiven or if the damage is irreparable. Will the truth ultimately destroy the relationship that neither one of them could deny or even attempt to resist?

Excerpt:
I lean down and
kiss him delicately, barely touching his lips, but lingering softly and as
excruciatingly long as possible. I’m
breathing his air; he’s breathing mine.
Every one of his exhales fills me as I inhale. Our eyes are locked on each other, staring
intently, waiting for the next move to be made. Dre’s eyes are mesmerizing with
every last hint of sexual desire and want. They’re saying exactly what I’m
screaming.
“Thank God,” he
mutters, breathlessly, and in one motion, Dre flips me over. He’s lying atop of
me, our legs entwined around each other’s.
I can feel every part of his body pressed against mine. The sculpted
muscles of his thighs and chest are hard against my legs and breasts. It’s almost as if every inch of my body wants
contact with his, begging for a connection.
Dre tangles his
hands in my hair and kisses me hungrily.
His mouth drowns out my moans as I allow his tongue to guide mine
around. He’s in control, knowing exactly
what to do to make me yearn for him.
Pulling back, but not breaking contact, Dre eases our tongues out of our
mouths. Kissing him in the open, feeling
the cool air around our mouths, with the warmth from our kiss, sends a burning
heat throughout my entire body. When he
sucks my tongue all the way into his mouth, my pulse quickens. I’ve never felt such arousal in my life.
Slowly, we
separate, and Dre lightly trails his tongue along my lower lip, and whispers,
“Delicious.” My body ignites. I want him.
I need him.
Dre kisses his
way down, gliding his tongue along my jaw, working his way slowly toward my
ear. Once he reaches my ear, he breathes
softly against my neck, sending chills down my spine, and quietly says, “You’re
so beautiful, Kathryn,” just as he sucks my earlobe into his mouth. I respond with a moan, wrapping my legs
around his waist.
