A
second chance for romance...
Hidden
in Graystone Manor is a book containing all the dark secrets of Harmony Harbor,
and Ava DiRossi is determined to find it. No one—especially not her ex-husband,
Griffin Gallagher—can ever discover what really tore her life apart all those
years ago. With Griffin back in town, it's more important than ever that she
find the book before someone else does. Because her ex is still angry with her
for leaving him. And he still has no idea Ava never stopped loving him...
Ava
is no longer the vibrant, happy woman Griffin had once loved and married, and
he would do anything to bring back the sparkle to her brilliant green eyes. But
what's never changed are the sexy sparks of attraction between Ava and Griffin,
and he won't give her up again without a fight. He knows there's the real possibility
of a future together...if the truth doesn't burn the bridge between them
forever.
“We’re in business, Simon. This should do—”
“Tell Grams I’ll see her in a bit.”
Her gaze shot to the door. She’d recognize
that voice anywhere. Griffin was here. Now. Outside the door. She shot to her
feet, shoving the candelabra in front of the fireplace.
Meow.
She’d trapped Simon. She grabbed the cat,
put him on the floor, and scooped up the bucket and sponges while frantically
searching for somewhere to hide. The balcony. She didn’t care if she froze to
death; she couldn’t let him find her here.
As she turned to run, Ava heard the beep of
the passkey. She wouldn’t make it. She spun around and ran the short distance
to the bathroom. Her breath coming in panicked puffs, she stepped inside the
bathtub and carefully inched the crimson and gold shower curtain across the
rod. She sagged against the tile wall, praying his in a bit meant he’d drop his bags off and leave.
If it had been anyone other than Griffin,
she’d pretend to be cleaning the room. But she remembered all too clearly the
humiliation of being discovered by Griffin and his ex-wife the last time they’d
stayed at the manor. He’d looked at Ava like he hadn’t known who she was, and
his wife had asked for fresh towels, acting as though Ava hadn’t done her job.
And then there was the book. She couldn’t
leave without it.
“How did you get in here?”
Her gaze jerked to the curtain, her heart
beating double time. She let out the breath she’d been holding when the bed
creaked. Simon. Griffin was talking to the cat. “Better question would be, what
have you been up to? Your paws are black. Off the bed, buddy.”
Her toes curled in her shoes, a warm,
fluttery sensation settling low in her stomach in response to the slow drawl of
Griffin’s deep voice. He always spoke in that low, unhurried tone. Even when he
was angry or when he was whispering how much he loved her or when he was
talking her out of her temper. Only then there’d been a hint of laughter too.
Her temper used to amuse him. He had a long fuse; she had a short one. She used
to, at least.
Her lips curved at the memories; then her
wistful smile faded when the consequences of what he’d just said penetrated her
lovesick brain. Simon’s paws were dirty. All she’d need was for Griffin to
start looking for the source. She had to…
There was the rasp of a zipper, then the
light thud of something hitting the floor. At the sound of heavy footfalls
approaching the bathroom, Ava’s eyes went wide, and she pressed her back
against the tiled wall. A bare, muscled arm reached past the curtain, a large
hand turning on the water. The cold spray from the showerhead hit her in the
face, and a small, shocked squeak escaped before she could contain it.
Griffin whipped back the shower curtain.
His thick, toffee-colored hair glistened under the fluorescent light, his
dazzling, deep blue eyes wide in surprise. She opened her mouth to say
something, but the words got stuck in her throat as her eyes drifted down his
body. He was completely and gloriously naked. And even more beautiful than she
remembered.
