Romance
For Kendra Roberts, love is
for fairy tale princesses who don’t live in the real world. Mr. Right? What a
joke. It’s more like Mr. Right Now.
But imagine her surprise when
she realizes it’s been two whole years, and Mr. Right Now has become something
more. How the hell did that happen?
Panic sets in when Kendra
finds out that Adam Burger might be planning a future for them and making her
his “Mrs.” Mrs. Burger.
Not. So. Fast.
Kendra ends things with Adam,
feeling bad for letting things go this far.
After months of trying to
convince herself she made the right decision, a mutual friend’s wedding throws
them back together again.
In one mind-blowing moment,
Kendra comes to the crushing realization that she’s been in love with Adam all
along.
But when Adam seems to have
already moved on, will Kendra fight for their forever after? Or will she let
her once Mr. Right Now go and become someone else’s Mr. Right?

Excerpt 1~
“Ugh,” I groaned, “I hate you so much.” I felt his smile against my skin, and his breath as he chuckled made me shiver to my toes.
“Ugh,” I groaned, “I hate you so much.” I felt his smile against my skin, and his breath as he chuckled made me shiver to my toes.
“Doesn’t sound like it.”
“Adam, come on … I can’t … stand … ” My
words were swallowed when his mouth devoured mine again like he owned it. Owned
me. The thought should have sent the feminist in me running to prove the
opposite but I couldn’t be bothered. His kisses were still gentle but so much
more demanding until we were both once again gasping for air, searching for a
release that, at least for me, had been denied.
Then we found it. The pleasure that wracked
my body was unlike anything I’d felt. It came in waves, with each one crashing
harder until it subsided all together. Adam kissed back up my neck until I
couldn’t take it anymore from the way my body had become oversensitive. He
pushed off, taking me in his arms so I could burrow right into him. I felt like
a ragdoll that could be dragged along wherever someone wanted to take me. And
I’d really enjoyed where Adam took me.

Excerpt 2~
“All right, well,
I’m going to let Sam know that I’m staying here so he doesn’t have to call all
night.”
“You don’t have to
do that.”
“Yeah, I do.” He
pulled his phone from his pocket, scrolled through the numbers stored there
before selecting Sam’s. “Yeah, she’s fine,” he said. Listening to only half of
a conversation between two guys was weird. “Listen, butt muncher, I just wanted
to let you know you don’t have to call tonight.” Another pause. “No, I’m
staying here … Fuck you.” Man, I wish I knew what Sam said. “Later.” The cell
went back into his pocket.
“What’d he say?”
“Nothing that
matters. Listen,” he shifted toward me, “I’m going to be out on the couch—”
“Why don’t you just
sleep in Cain’s bed?”
“Gross. No. I can
only imagine the things that have happened in his bed. I’m good with the
couch.” I laughed before I remembered that it would hurt. And it did. My lip
and my cheek. “Anyway, I’ll be out there. Call me if you need anything.”
