Grief brought them together
A hospice center is no place to fall in lust. But with his
world cracking during his estranged mother’s last days, Hayden Crewe needs
something sweet to focus on. It doesn’t matter that he’s the backbone of
Australia’s hottest international rock group—here, watching his mother die,
he’s more alone than ever. So when he meets long-legged, clear-minded Briar Moore,
he suddenly knows exactly what will fill the hole inside.

them apart
Briar has just escaped a job and relationship that nearly
crushed her. Crawling out of the wreckage of her previous life, she’s done
playing it safe. Sexy, vibrant Hayden is what she wants, and Briar is going to
take him. For as long as she can…
Out of heartbreak
comes hope
With their time short and the ghosts of their pasts haunting
every moment, Briar and Hayden know they’ve fallen too deep. While those few,
intense days changed them both forever, everyone knows a connection this
intense should burn out as fast as it ignited…

Excerpt
She winced as the brush caught in her hair. I plucked the brush from her hand,
falling victim to an overwhelming need to squeeze each gram of enjoyment from
our time together. Maybe the expiration date on our time together made each
moment special.
I led her toward the big picture windows with great views of
the sound. She glanced at me over her shoulder, and I pressed a soft kiss on
the corner of her mouth. She inhaled, her body melting back into mine. Liked
that, she did.
I grinned as I adjusted my grip on her. Taking my time, I
placed more small kisses there.
She hummed deep in her throat, and I cupped her cheek.
Pressing my lips to hers, I waited a heartbeat for her to part her lips. She
did, and I slid my tongue into her mouth, lapping up her taste and fanning the
flames of desire between us in long, lazy swipes of my tongue.
She moaned and struggled to turn fully into my arms. Blood
pumping hot and thick through my veins, I stepped back and turned her until she
once again faced the window. Lifting the brush, I swept it through her wet
hair, letting it pull to the ends. Briar released a breath and relaxed.
“Mmm. You’re good at brushing my hair.”
I smiled at the slightly ragged quality of her voice.
“I’ve never done this before.” I paused, hesitant to reveal
too much of myself. But this was Briar. We were in a space that no one could
enter. So I said, “Hair brushing or courting a woman. Never wanted to.”
She turned her head a little, and I let the brush hover over
her. Her blue eyes were dark. Her lips parted, a little swollen from my kiss.
Her cheeks bloomed with soft pink color.
“I like firsts with you, Hayden.”
