Adam Stone is
not a saint
.
He's six-foot-two, naughty blue eyes, cocky grin, and a bod blessed by the gods.
He's a surfer, a soldier, a pilot, and
he's been my friend
since I moved to
our small town
when we were just kids.
But another man took my hand.
He took my innocence, took my trust, and broke my heart.
I was young. I didn't know love could be a weapon.
I didn't know the hand that caressed you could also cut you.
Now that man is dead, and I'm
a single-mom survivor
wearing a mask so perfect, no one knows the truth. Trust doesn't come easy, and surviving is a hard habit to break.
But when a plumbing disaster leaves me homeless,
one night in Adam Stone's
(
supposedly
)
empty bed
changes everything.
I've hidden my scars so long, I don't know how else to be, but I want to try.
I'm in love with Adam Stone. I love every glance, every wink,
every protective touch
...
He says he's different. He says he loves me and my son, and he wants to take care of us.
I believe in this love.
All I need is
a little luck
