Tagline: Secrets, lies, Christmas, and a fake
wedding. What could go wrong?
Book Description:
Two years after spending one
blissful night with her lifelong crush, Cassie Huntington meets Declan Preston
again during the Christmas season, and secrets and lies turn into a fake
wedding that just might save their love.
Excerpt:
I couldn’t
believe that I was back at the damn airport about to get on another mothereffin’
plane. I landed in this exact terminal not three days ago from London. I’d
barely had time to unpack and re-pack before I was on the move again. I knew I
owed it to my family to go home for a visit, especially during the holidays.
I’d only seen them a handful of times in the two years I’d been living in
London. Plus, for the first time in a long time, I was excited to go back to
Dallas. It was time to see Cassie.
I knew she
hadn’t married Steven because Brice had told me during one of his many trips to
London. I hadn’t called her. I wanted to, but I knew that she needed time to
get her life in order. I needed her to be ready for me. I needed her to be
happy, content, and ready to be in a real relationship. A relationship that was
fifty-fifty, where we made choices together. A relationship where we each got to
be ourselves, flaws and all.
A relationship
full of real love, and as much sex as she could handle.
I was ready. I’d
more than sowed my wild oats, all over Europe in fact. Man, that was a fun two
years. But I never stopped missing Cassie, never stopped thinking about her,
wondering how she was.
I chuckled to
myself. I was so amped up about seeing her again that women were starting to
look like her. I could have sworn I saw her when I was going through security
and now I was seeing her again at my gate. Wait. No. Was that…?
“Cassie?”
The woman
whirled around at the sound of my voice, her blonde hair fanning out.
Holy. Shit.
“Declan. Oh my
gosh, wow. I, uh, I didn’t know you were back from London.”
“Yeah, I just
flew in a couple days ago. Man, you are a sight for sore eyes. Come here.” I
pulled her in for a hug; she smelled amazing and her body seemed to melt into
mine. “What are you doing in Florida?” I was so happy to see her, I couldn’t
stop smiling. I felt like my face was going to crack in half.
“Oh, uh, it’s so
good to see you, Dec. It’s been a long time. I’ve actually been meaning to call
you…”
She was talking
into my shirt, her hands on my hips, not making eye contact. But I didn’t care.
I’d waited two years to have my hands on her; nothing could ruin this perfect
moment.
