About the book:
Twenty-eight-year-old Beth Lawrence finally has her
life back on track. A job she loves, a wealthy husband and a beautiful home are
a far cry from the tragedy that struck when she was nineteen. But now that her
past seems firmly behind her, an old flame walks back into her life. Bringing
back painful memories of a time she's worked hard to forget, reviving a passion
she tried to bury years before.
Niall Joseph is an up-and-coming artist, recently
returned from success in America. Volunteering to teach in an inner-city drug
clinic, the last person he expects to see is the girl who broke his heart nine
years earlier. Working closely together allows their old wounds to heal,
forging a deeper connection between them. One that slowly starts to burn.
As she becomes tangled up with a neglected child and
her drug-addict mother, Beth finds herself drawn to Niall. But neither of them
can anticipate how hard it is to tread the thin line between friendship and
desire.

Excerpt:
I curl my palm around the back of his
neck, weaving my fingers into his hair. When I press my lips to the corner of
his mouth I feel his warm gasp of air against my cheek. With my heart thumping
against my chest I kiss his jaw, his cheek, the soft skin beneath his ear, and
his hands circle my waist, his fingers digging in like he’s trying hard to hold
on.
“Kiss me.” His words sound like a
plea. I continue my route, dragging my lips down his neck, resting them in his
collarbone. “On the lips, Beth, please.”
I can almost taste his desperation as
I move back up. It’s as needy as my own. I rock my hips into him and he’s as
sensitised as I am. I can feel his hard outline through his jeans. My heart
races when I place my lips back at the corner of his mouth, because it feels
like I’m on a precipice. I could turn and walk away right now and somehow
salvage some kind of sense out of this whole situation.
But I don’t. I couldn’t walk away
even if I tried. I’m so full of him it hurts. I can feel him, smell the gentle
scent of soap wafting from his skin, and hear his harsh breaths as he tries to
get some control. He’s taking me over and I want it so badly. “Niall?”
“Yes?”
“Kiss me.”
