Up
until now, Nicole's life has been mapped out for her. She'd go to
college, marry Jake and become the upstanding minister's wife. When
she leaves that life to begin again in a small town in Texas, she
finally has the freedom to live as she chooses. There, she meets
Kent, a guy whose charm and passion make it hard to stick to her
morals.
Dodging his father’s fists and protecting his twin sister made Kent into the man he is today. He learned by watching his mother stay by his father’s side that it’s better to keep relationships simple. Then he meets Nicole. Her sweet smile and genuine response to him land like punches to his resolve. After a lifetime of learning to protect his heart, can he finally let down his guard?

Excerpt
2:
They hit the trail
hard. Nicole used the time to clear her head and to reflect on what
Kent had told her about his childhood.
They’d led very
different lives, and Nicole couldn’t imagine the obstacles he’d
dealt with growing up, but she was very impressed with the man he was
today.
Kent made sure they
did some cool down stretches before getting back in the car.
He’d worried
briefly that Nicole would look at him differently when he’d told
her a little about his upbringing, but he was happy that he had. He
wasn’t ready to tell her everything yet, but he was comfortable
with what he’d told her.
He drove her back
to her apartment and walked her to the door.
“Do you want to
come in?” Nicole asked him, her face was flush from exertion and
glistened prettily.
Kent felt a strong
urge to gather her in his arms and take her to her room, kissing and
stroking her gloriously toned body along the way. He imagined
carrying her into the shower and lathering her up.
He shook his head,
trying in vain to calm his raging hormones. He felt like a teenager
again: unbearably horny and unable to find release. Well… At least
not the way he wanted to.
“Um, no,” He
replied gruffly. “I’d better not. You have to get ready for work
and I have some stuff to do at my house. I’ll give you a call
later.”
He leaned down and
gave her a kiss on the forehead, then turned and jogged down the
stairs, leaving her there staring off after him, the confusion she
felt apparent on her face.
