Blake Bentley had

firefighting.
Tessa Collins was brought up in the traditional 'perfect' family - loving parents, great sister, and amazing friends. After falling in love with Jared, her life was perfect - until he betrayed her. She has no idea that his betrayal could end up costing her more than just a shattered heart.

Excerpt Tessa POV
Blake led me through
the ballroom and out into the hotel lobby. He pulled me into a corner
before we got to the front desk, and slowly turned to look at me, his
eyes searching mine. He lightly placed his hands on my shoulders,
like he was trying to ensure he had my undivided attention. “Tess,
are you sure you want to stay here? It is your call. We can get in
the limo now and I can take you home. I’ll do whatever you want to
do, baby girl. I don’t want you to do anything you're not
comfortable with.”
I tried my hardest to
fight back the laughter. I know he was trying to be a gentleman, but
really what did he take me for—a virgin? He knew all too well that
I wasn’t. “That's really sweet, Blake, but I am a big girl and I
think I can handle sleeping in the same room with you. I promise, if
I ever feel uncomfortable with anything that we are doing, I
will have no problem voicing my opinion.” I gave him a sexy smile,
hoping he would get the double meaning behind my statement.
“You promise?” he
asked, tilting his head to the side and looking at me with that smile
that made me weak in the knees. I was getting the feeling that he
understood exactly what I was saying.
“Always,” I
replied as I looked up at him. His dark eyes were staring at me with
desire. The movement of his tongue reaching out to lick his lips drew
my attention down to his perfect mouth. God, how I wanted to taste
him again! But there was no way I was making the first move. Not
again. I noticed his eyes shift down to my mouth and I lightly bit my
bottom lip. He slid his hand from my shoulder to the back of my neck,
while his other hand reached up and gently cradled my face. He slowly
leaned down and placed his lips on mine. I opened my mouth slightly,
allowing him to enter further. That was all he needed. He invaded my
mouth with his tongue, and as he deepened the kiss, I knew in his own
way he was claiming me. He was forceful and aggressive, yet slow and
tender as he savored every move he made. My whole body was shaking
and my sex was aching. I had never been kissed like that before.
The hand that had been
cradling my face was now on my lower back, pulling my body closer to
him. My arms were clutched around his neck and my hands were working
their way through his dark hair. I never wanted this kiss to end.
We were in our own
little world where no one else existed. As his hand moved down to my
ass, my body quivered with excitement. I wanted him here and now.
Then I remembered where we were—a hotel lobby with lots of people
around. He must have felt me tense up a little because he slowly
ended the kiss. Resting his forehead on mine, he looked down at me.
We were both breathing heavy as we stared at each other.

I
was born in Aurora, CO and still reside their today with my amazing

love getting all four seasons (although winters could be a bit
shorter.)

perfect writing snack! Wine helps a lot too especially with the late
night writing sessions. I love the summer and everything that goes
along with it, camping, swimming, boating, hiking, etc. I love to
travel and Disneyland is one of my family's favorite places to visit
together. I have a dream of visiting so many places in the world such
as Italy, Greece, Australia, Fiji, Bora Bora and New Zealand (just to
name a few.)
I
have met so many amazing people in this journey so far and I cannot
wait to see what the future holds.
