A date with her past!
When nurse Emily Stewart puts herself up for a hospital charity auction, she never expects the winning bidder to be Lucas Cain—her new boss...and ex-husband!
Since their marriage crumbled, Emily hasn’t wanted to experience such tempestuous passion again. And she’s still hiding a heartbreaking secret from Lucas... Yet he’s changed during their years apart, and soon a red-hot fling is impossible to resist! Dare she finally open up to Lucas and give their love a second chance?
“I don’t want to go, Emily, but if that’s what you want, I will.”
She looked up, met his cloudy gaze, and opened her mouth to answer him—to tell him that, yes, she wanted him to go away, never to bother her again, to leave Children’s and never to purposely cross her path again. She did want all those things.
But none of that came out, and whatever she’d been going to say was lost to the pressure of Lucas’s mouth covering hers in a kiss.
Sometimes a story idea hits and just takes off. Emily and Lucas’s story was that way. Occasionally couples who are meant to be together let life pull them apart and blind them to their true feelings. That’s what has happened with Emily and Lucas.
Lucas is hesitant to take his dream job because his ex-wife works at the hospital—but how can he turn down an offer to make real advances in brain injury research when that’s his life’s passion? Emily was his best friend once upon a time. Surely they can make peace and have an amicable work relationship? Only once he spends time with Emily he wants much more than just a work relationship with his ex. He wants her.
When her ex buys a date with her at a charity bachelorette auction Emily is reminded of all the things that made her fall in love with Lucas to begin with. Only this time around she isn’t young, naïve, and blinded by visions of happily-ever-after. This time she won’t let him anywhere near her heart. Only what if he’s had it all along...?
I had so much fun on Emily and Lucas’s journey to healing and happy-ever-after. I hope you enjoy their story as much as I did. I’d love to hear what you thought of their romance at [email protected].
Happy reading,
