After returning from war, Austin’s life had nearly fallen apart. Now he has a new career, a new home and is looking for a woman to share it with. He loves Alice from the moment he sees her. The passion between them is hotter than the summer sun, until she abruptly breaks up with him.
Austin wants to help Alice overcome her fears, but will she let him?
The following excerpt from GASCON VICTORS AND THE HUNKY HANDYMAN is for readers 18 and over.
She glanced toward the couch and was about to shoo the dogs off so that Austin could sit, but decided to take yet another risk. Her stomach clenched and her heart pounding, she sat on the bed and said, “Have a seat. We could be here for a while.”
He sat beside her and a heavy silence hung between them for a moment before Austin said, “I can squeeze in with the dogs.”
A smile tugged at her lips and she turned to him. Their gazes locked and Austin lifted his hand to caress her cheek. Cupping the back of her head, he leaned closer and touched her lips in a kiss so gentle it was almost imperceptible, yet it was powerful enough to make her tingle all over.
Closing her eyes, Alice slid her arms around his neck. Austin held her close and deepened the kiss. His firm, slightly moist lips moved sensually against hers. Then he traced the shape of her lips with the tip of his tongue. Alice opened to him. His tongue thrust into her mouth and hers met it.
Moaning softly, she tightened her grip on him, her breasts pressing against his hard chest.
“In case you haven’t guessed, Alice, I’m seriously attracted to you,” he said against her lips.
She smiled. “I’ve noticed.”
“And you’re good with that?”
Taking his face in her hands, she kissed him. Her tongue slid into his mouth and he moaned, pressing her onto her back.
Alice closed her eyes, enjoying the hottest kiss of her life. When the kiss broke, he gazed at her and lightly caressed her breasts through her rain-soaked shirt. “You look beautiful.”
“Right. After being caught in the rain I look beautiful.”
“You have no idea.”
