Their first chance at
love ended in heartbreak
Wade
Rycroft fell in love with Geneva Harris when she was the smartest girl in his
class. The rodeo star and the shy academic made for an odd pair, but their
chemistry was undeniable. They made plans to get married after high school. Those
plans changed when Genny broke his heart. Joining the Army gave him a chance to
leave that life behind. News that Genny married the town’s golden boy let Wade
know that he could never go home again.
A chance encounter
rekindles an old flame
Fifteen
years later, he’s found his place in the world and tried to forget the woman
who left him standing in the rain. After leaving the Army he forged a new life
as a bodyguard at McKay-Taggart, but he still feels incomplete. When his
brother’s wedding brings him home to Broken Bend, Texas, he walks into a storm
of scandal. Genny’s marriage has dissolved, the town has turned against her,
and someone is making threats. Seeing her again reawakens feelings he thought
were long gone, and he worries that staying close enough to help her could be
too much to bear.
Their reunion just might
kill them both
After
an attempt is made on Genny’s life, Wade can’t refuse to help her. Watching
over her day and night, it’s clear that having her back in his life could be
the thing to finally make him whole. When the danger follows them back to Dallas,
their second chance at love could be over before it even begins.

“There’s no reason for you to be jealous of
Hutch. He gave me a few kisses, that’s all.”
He dropped her hand, turned, and started back
toward the office. Hutch’s truck was still here. He would kill the little
fucker and that would teach him. He would torture him first. Hutch liked
computers. Wade would see how much he liked them when they were shoved hard up
his ass.
“Wade.” Genny ran after him, her laughter a
musical sound he didn’t want to hear right now. “Wade, come on. I was joking.
He let me raid his desk for chocolate. Those kind of kisses. Please don’t
murder him.”
He stopped, completely embarrassed. He hadn’t
been thinking. She was used to being around a man who took out his temper on
her. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to scare you.”
She grinned up at him, her hand on his arm.
“You didn’t scare me. Why would you… Wade, I know you’re not Brock. I’ve always
known that. I’m not terrified of all men. Hell, I’m not afraid of Big Tag. He’s
kind of funny once you let him know where the boundaries are.”
“You gave Tag boundaries?” He’d been afraid to
leave her alone with Ian. Not because he thought Ian would hurt her, but
because he could be intimidating at times. Now that he thought about it, Big
Tag was actually perfect for Genny to start practicing her newfound sass on
because he would like her more if she gave him hell.
“Very firm ones, but I also offered him
something in exchange. We’re going to get along fine, Tag and I. And Hutch and
I are only ever going to be friends. He talks way too much about Game of Thrones, but he does have a lot
of candy so it evens out to a nice friendship.” She moved her hand up to his
shoulder. “I’m not interested in Hutch, but there is this guy who works in the
office I am interested in.”
His whole body went on full alert. He had
things to tell her, things that were important, but was here really the place
to do that? Here was the place to talk about work things and who she was
interested in. Interested in seeing? Interested in spending more time with?
“Who might that be?”
Her eyes met his, heating up. “He’s in the
bodyguard unit and he told me once that if I ever want a real kiss, I should
ask him.”
He could feel the erection coming on like a
runaway locomotive. He’d spent the last few months going without. The scene at
Sanctum had gotten boring for him. At first it had been filled with excitement,
but watching all his friends settle down had made him look at his life in a
different way. Having Genny back in it made him absolutely sure he didn’t want
casual sex. He wanted a woman who belonged to him, who he belonged to. He
wanted disgusting, nasty, utterly committed sex. “Then you should definitely
ask.”
