Description:
“There is a
vulnerability there, hovering just below the surface. And I want to
pick at it until I expose it. Then I want to kiss it."
Two years ago, Emily
Burnham, had an epiphany about the shallowness of her life. And
she made it her mission to become a different person…a better
woman. Out from under the controlling thumb of her mother,
Emily is tasting the real world for the first time. And she
likes it.
Nixon Caldwell has
served his time in the Marine Corps, surviving two brutal tours in
Afghanistan. He is back home, surrounded by what he likes
best…isolation. It's certainly the easiest way to avoid
confrontation of the consuming guilt that is weighing him down.
When an accident
brings Emily and Nix together, he soon learns he is not the master of
his own fate. Struggling with his own pain, Nix tries to guard
himself against Emily’s charms. He wants her in his bed, but
he doesn’t want her in his heart.
Having grabbed life
by the horns, Emily wants it all. But is she willing to accept
just the small part of himself that Nix is offering? Can she
reach the part of his soul that he has deemed to be Off Limits?
This book is the
follow up novel to Off Sides by Sawyer Bennett. However, Off Sides
can be read as a stand-alone.
Book Excerpt:
"This
can't happen, Emily."
The
disbelief on her face pours through into her voice. "Why?"
Why
indeed?
All
of those reasons that were sparking through my brain are lost. I know
I had sound logic not just ten seconds ago, but I can't grasp it
right now.
"Because...we're
not...compatible."
She
stuns me when she laughs, genuine delight showing in her eyes. "Oh,
we're compatible. Your working parts and mine were in perfect
alignment just a few seconds ago."
Damn,
that is hot!
She's
clearly saying that wasn't just a kiss. She's saying she was
imagining those multiple orgasms just the way I was. I almost lunge
at her to pull her back in my arms, but I have a shocking moment of
clarity.
I
shake my head at her. "Our parts are definitely compatible, Em.
But that's all it would be. It would never be anything but a fuck."
I
expect those words to hurt her...to enrage her...to make her realize
that Nix Caldwell is the world's biggest asshole. I hope those words
cause her to go running from my house in tears.
Instead,
she says, "So?"
About the Author
Sawyer Bennett is the pen name for a snarky southern woman and reformed trial lawyer who decided to finally start putting on paper all of the stories that were floating in her head. She is married to a mobster (well, a market researcher) and they have two big, furry dogs who hog the bed. Sawyer would like to report she doesn't have many weaknesses but can be bribed with a nominal amount of milk chocolate.
Looks good. Looking forward to reading it.
ReplyDeleteI go through periods of hero preference... sometimes athletes, sometimes rockstars or firemen or millionaires, etc... Typically though, I'm a big fan of the alpha male, no matter what the profession. That cocky attitude gets me EVERY time!! :)
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to reading this!

I love all kinds but really love Alpha males!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the great giveaway!
all kinds, cowboys, military, shifters, vampires, as long as they do right by their women, thanks for the giveaway
ReplyDeleteSuperman! Seriously, I have a soft spot for a damaged hero. I love the trope where the heroine sees beyond the hero's mask and despite any scars and disfigurements, loves him anyway.
