“I’m
glad you came tonight.”
She
dropped her head shyly as her teeth made another appearance, raking over her
bottom lip. “Me too. I missed you,” she said quietly. Almost sadly. Did she
think they weren’t going to see each other again?
“Hey,”
he said, grasping her chin between his fingers and lifting her face to his,
commanding her to look at him. “This isn’t goodbye, if that’s what you’re
thinking.”
Eyebrows
a shade lighter than her mahogany hair drew together. “It’s not?”
A grin spreading across his face, Jami shook his
head. “Not unless you want it to be.”

From the wrong side of the tracks...
Alyson
Blake had learned early on that the only one she could depend on was
herself. The only light in her life was a boy whom everyone agreed was
destined for prison; but with his first kiss, he had set her soul on
fire. Since the day the police dragged him away in handcuffs, she had
managed to lead a quiet life, but when she attends an event fraught with
mayhem, trouble resurfaces.
The one person she can’t forget...
Jamison
Weston is the kind of guy dads load their shotguns for; endowed with a
hot temper and a rap sheet as long as both tattooed arms. Known as “The
Judge,” Jami’s hot temper, lethal fists, and cocky attitude have earned
him respect and admiration both in and out of the ring. But just when
he thinks he’s pummeled his past to death, Alyson Blake reenters his
life.
Two paths collide…
After years of
separation, Alyson is eager to reexplore the man who’s never left her
thoughts, but for Jamison, she’s an unwelcome distraction. Despite his
resistance, Alyson is determined to have him. Yet, when she discovers
the disturbing secret to his success as a fighter, will she accept the
truth, or will it tear them apart for good?

Blurb:
After finding herself out of luck and out of love, Patricia Jacobs has
written off the male species. No one but her father has ever given her
the love and devotion she knows she deserves, and she’s sick and tired
of it. Until she collides, literally, with a man whose devastating smile
and seductive charm that should be considered illegal, destroys her
plans. He’s everything she’s
ever dreamed of in a man: handsome, intelligent, successful, they share a
love of cars and best of all; he looks at her like she’s his light in
the dark. What more could a girl ask for?
Jonathon Bradshaw,
destroyed by a past that has haunted his every waking moment for the
last five years, isn’t looking for a serious relationship, until he
meets Patricia. Sweet, saucy and as hot as the summer is long, Jon can’t
deny the draw he has toward her. For the first time, he has hope.
Determined to shake the ghosts of his past, Jon focuses on forging a
future with Patti, but he’s always been a master at standing in his own
way.
When Jon’s past refuses to be forgotten, will Patti be able to live with the truth about the man who’s stolen her heart?
