Book
Excerpt:
Jenny
smoothed a hand over her navy skirt and tucked a loose hair behind her ear as
she waited to meet her new client. After speaking with his assistant several
times to setup a schedule that would work for everyone, it was finally time to
meet the man himself.
She
glanced around her office where they’d be meeting before she took him out in
her freshly washed Lexus SUV. Everything was in place. There were no loose
papers strewn around or files left open on the back counter.
A partially
open drawer caught her attention at the bottom of one of her filing cabinets.
She moved to close it and found it was stuck. She knelt down on the carpet and
tried to push it again, but it still wouldn’t budge. “Close, you stupid--”
“That’s
my Jennifer. Still talking to herself after all these years.”
Jenny’s
hand froze at the same time a flush of heat surged through her body. A fire she
hadn’t felt since the last time she’d been with him, the owner of the deep
voice. A voice she’d know anywhere. Adam.
“Here,”
he knelt beside her, “let me give you a hand.”
“I don’t
need your help,” she shook her head, but he didn’t seem to care. He lifted the
drawer and pushed, and it closed like the traitor it was. Damn drawer.
Adam took
a step back from her, but it did nothing to dissipate his scent. His aftershave
hung in the air and with it a flood of memories of the two of them, together,
crashed down around her. Memories it had taken her years to repress because
forgetting was impossible.
