BLURB:
Raney
Hoffman eloped with her high school sweetheart believing they’d
found their happy ever after, but her world crashed down around her
when he left after less than two years of marriage. Nearly twenty
years later he’s back in town. Her broken heart tells her she
should still hate the jerk. But her traitorous body surges into
sexual overdrive at the sight of him.
Rob
Coleman was devoted to Raney the moment they met in high school.
After they married, his twin brother died unexpectedly and Rob’s
grief thrust him into an identity crisis he couldn’t recover from.
The decisions he made in that haze of grief have haunted him for
nearly twenty years. Now he’s back and completely befuddled by the
strength of his response to seeing Raney again.
They
rebuilt their lives without the other but their unexpected reunion
makes it clear their history is far from resolved.

Excerpt
Three:
“Raney—“
“No.”
She cut him off with a short gesture of her hand. “We can’t…
You can’t keep doing this to me.”
He tried
to get her to look him in the eye, but she just kept pushing him away
as he was trying to pull her closer. He needed to know she felt it,
too, but with each word and push, he felt that hope slipping away.
“Raney.”
He hated the pleading in his tone but was powerless to stop it. “I
know you feel this, too.”
Finally
she met his gaze and the deep sadness in her eyes made him feel
hollowed out. He squeezed her shoulders, only wanting to make that
sadness go away, but she pushed him back again.
“Rob,
no! I mean it. You can’t keep…tangling me up like this. No more.”
And with that she let her hands drop from his chest and stepped away.
Then a
man stepped between them, pushing him away from her even further. He
registered the flashing eyes and clenched fists of Jordan, and braced
himself.
Even in
the daze she created when she was around him, Rob realized he’d
blundered. It was a dude code that you never poached on another guy’s
date. He’d done just that and was about to pay the price.
