The
third book in New York Times
bestselling author Tessa Bailey's Romancing the Clarksons series about four
siblings on a cross-country road trip, perfect for fans of Gena Showalter and
Julie James!
This
time, she's calling the shots.
Peggy
Clarkson is returning to her alma mater with one goal in mind: confront Elliott
Brooks, the man who ruined her for all others, and remind him of what he's been
missing. Even after three years, seeing him again is like a punch in the gut,
but Peggy's determined to stick to her plan. Maybe then, once she has the upper
hand, she'll finally be able to move on.
In
the years since Peggy left Cincinnati, Elliott has kept his focus on football.
No distractions and no complications. But when Peggy walks back onto his
practice field and into his life, he knows she could unravel everything in his
carefully controlled world. Because the girl who was hard to forget is now a
woman impossible to resist.
“I don’t know, Peggy.” He whirled on her,
closing in until she was forced back onto the desk. “I had an All-American on
my squad this morning and now I don’t. That’s all I know.” He pointed a finger
toward the window. “I solve problems down on the field. Saving people isn’t my
job.”
Saving people. God, there was
such a wealth of regret and pain in those two words. But he couldn’t hear it
and she couldn’t address it. Letting him know she saw right through his façade
to the hurt beneath might force Elliott to close himself off. “You didn’t
always limit yourself. Why are you doing it now?”
“Accepting things that can’t be changed
isn’t a limitation. It’s realistic.”
“But how will you know if something can’t
be changed unless you try?”
“When it comes to certain things, Peggy,
trying leads to losing.” He was in her face now, the mint from his toothpaste
familiar and inviting where it slid over her lips. “And I don’t lose.”
No one ever stood up this man but her, and
she wouldn’t be cowed now. “No? You’re out a receiver.” She hitched herself up
on his desk. “I’d call that a loss.”
The tips of his shoes met Peggy’s, his
hands gripping the furniture on either side of her hips. “Who do you think you
are, little girl? Coming into my office and telling me what I’ve done wrong?”
His eyes were brilliant in their vexation, the attraction he was trying so hard
to fight. “Where do you get the goddamn bravery?”
“The bravery is what you liked best about
me,” she breathed, heat sizzling in a downward V toward her thighs. “Isn’t it?”
“No. That bravery is what almost led to my
downfall.” His hands found her bottom, jerking her to the edge of the desk. “I
resented it. Still do.”
“Liar,” Peggy whispered, easing her thighs
wider. “You’re dying for an excuse to head for another downfall.” When her legs
were as open as she could spread them, she leaned up to Elliott’s ear and let
her breath shake loose. “One thrust.”
Elliott’s right hand came up out of
nowhere, molding over Peggy’s mouth as his hips crowded into the notch of her
legs. With a quick maneuver to recline her halfway back, Elliott’s erection
found the apex of her thighs, delivering an aggressive pump against her
underwear that sent a scream climbing up Peggy’s throat, only to be trapped by
his hand. Knees jerking up out of reflex over the rush of sensation, an orgasm
almost—almost— broke past the surface, sending her waters rippling out on all
sides. Her legs wanted to hug Elliott’s waist, her voice wanted to beg for one
more, one more, one more, but he shook his head, denying her, even though his
gaze was hot, a low groan issuing from his harshly masculine mouth.
He
leaned in and nipped the lobe of her ear. “Next time, ask for two.”

Tessa
Bailey is originally from Carlsbad, California. The day after high school
graduation, she packed her yearbook, ripped jeans, and laptop, and drove
cross-country to New York City in under four days. Her most valuable life
experiences were learned thereafter while waitressing at K-Dees, a Manhattan
pub owned by her uncle. Inside those four walls, she met her husband, best
friend, and discovered the magic of classic rock, managing to put herself through
Kingsborough Community College and the English program at Pace University at
the same time. Several stunted attempts to enter the work force as a journalist
followed, but romance writing continued to demand her attention.
She
now lives in Long Island, New York with her husband and daughter. Although she
is severely sleep-deprived, she is incredibly happy to be living her dream of
writing about people falling in love.
