~ Synopsis ~
ONE NIGHT. THAT'S ALL IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE.
Reeling from the sudden loss of her sister, Haddie
Montgomery has sworn off relationships. All she wanted from Beckett Daniels was
a sexy distraction to help her escape her pain for just a little while....There
weren’t supposed to be any strings attached—so why can’t she shake the memory
of that unforgettable night from her thoughts? Or the taste of his kiss from
her lips?
No matter how hard Haddie tries to forget about him, Becks
relentlessly tries to prove that she should start living for today. But she is
determined to avoid romantic commitment, and she can always use her
ex-boyfriend’s reappearance to help snuff out the slow burn within her that
Becks has sparked....
Or will fate force her to realize that this kind of connection
doesn’t come along very often and a chance at love is worth the risk?

He bites his bottom lip and grimaces. “Fuck!” He growls out
to the trees above him and then rolls his shoulders to dissipate some of the
stress I see settling there. “Semantics aren’t an excuse. An omission is the
same as lying Haddie, but you’re missing the point entirely. It’s not whether
it was a lie or not. It’s so damn far from that. It’s you using the sex we’ve
had to numb yourself when it should do the exact opposite. It should light your
body on fire and burrow so deep under your skin that all you think about is the
next time you can have me…because fuck if that’s not what you’ve done to me. So
I call your bluff. I’ll keep calling it every fucking day until you admit you
want me, that being with me does that to you too…but you won’t will you?” I just
remain still, face impassive, body raging with emotion beneath the surface.
“You’d rather stand there and tell me you prefer the numb, the void, the
nothing, than admit you need me.”
His eyes have their own language as we stare at each other,
the power of his words bringing tears to my eyes and knocking the words from my
lips. “I was just doing what I thought was best, protecting everyone from more
hurt, more everything.” And I hate the numb, I scream silently. I hate it so
fucking much that every time we touch you make me feel so alive I realize how
dead I’ve felt inside over the past year.
I don’t know why I don’t tell him the rest. Like if I do
then I’m just sealing my fate by Murphy’s fucking Law so I keep quiet.
“Really? That’s all you’ve got for me? Next time make sure
your eyes and your lips match up City because you’re just adding insult to
injury right now. Your refusal to answer is infuriating. Need me Haddie. Use me
as your goddamn emotional punching bag or your real one for that matter but
fucking need me. I’m not some schmuck who’s going to bolt at the first rough
patch and the fact that you still don’t see that is a crock.” He blows out a
loud breath, jaw clenched, anger palpable. “I’m so fucking pissed but I’m also
so fucking mesmerized by you right now and I don’t know what the hell to do or
say. All I know is that protecting someone from the truth is just another way
of shutting them out.”
New York Times and USA Today Bestselling author K. Bromberg
is that reserved woman sitting in the corner who has you all fooled about the
wild child inside of her—the one she lets out every time her fingertips touch
the computer keyboard.
K. lives in Southern California with her husband and three
children. When she needs a break from the daily chaos of her life, you can most
likely find her on the treadmill or with Kindle in hand, devouring the pages of
a good, saucy book.
On a whim, K. Bromberg decided to try her hand at this
writing thing. Her debut novels, Driven, Fueled, and Crashed of The Driven
Trilogy were well received and went on to become multi-platform bestsellers as
well as landing on the New York Times and USA Today lists. Her other works
include a short story, UnRaveled, and a companion piece to The Driven Trilogy
titled Raced. She is currently working on three stand alone Driven novels, Slow
Burn, Sweet Ache, and Hard Beat. She also plans to release a novel addressing
the 10 year gap at the ending of Crashed in late fall 2015
