*New Cover*
Blurb:
If there’s one thing Julia Wilson has learned in life, it’s that you can’t push your own dreams to the background for anyone. Newly divorced, Julia returns to the hometown she once swore would never see her again. Her plan is simple; enjoy the cheap rent her friend is offering and stay just long enough to develop a plan to make her own dreams come true.
It doesn't take long before Julia realizes she’s made a big mistake.
Micah Anderson came closer to breaking Julia than anyone else ever had. After promising her forever, he broke her heart the week before she left for college. Now, Julia’s back in town and he’s going to have to tell her the truth about why he left her. It’s not possible to hide a twelve year old child when you live in a town of 5,000 people.
Is following her dreams worth it if it means giving up on a second chance with her first love? Is trying to make a relationship work worth it if his past becomes a threat to her safety?
Excerpt:
The
air around them crackled with anticipation as they silently walked to
the living room. She sat on the couch and invited him to sit next to
her. Micah removed his boots and pulled her from her seat. Once he was
lying on the couch, he pulled Julia down to him, and she sank in between
him and the back of the couch. They fell asleep in each other’s arms,
legs intertwined.
Some time later, she felt Micah stir beneath her. Without hesitation,
she brushed his jaw with her lips. A low groan fell from Micah’s mouth
as she trailed kisses from the edge of his goatee to the tender hollow
below his ear. She pulled her head back to take in the serene look on
his face as helay with his eyes closed.
Micah sighed again, pulling Julia onto his chest as he shifted to his
back. The full body contact sentshockwaves straight to Julia’s core. It
had been years since such simple movements caused this type of reaction
within her. She brushed the hair from Micah’s face and continued to
deliverfeatherlight kisses across his forehead, then one to the tip of
his nose. Her breath caught when she saw the longing in Micah’s eyes.
The moment she brought her lips to his, the passion exploded. He gently
bit her lower lip before sliding the tip of his tongue to meet hers.
When she didn’t resist, he allowed his tongue to explore more, tenderly
sweeping around hers before he felt her gently sucking his tongue deeper
into her mouth.
Micah’s calloused hands reached under Julia’s shirt, caressing her
sides. Her back arched as she felt his thumbs slide over the top of her
cotton bra.
“You’re going to have to tell me when it’s too much,” Micah groaned
through staggered breaths. “I’ve waited so long to touch you again, I
won’t be the one to say no.”
As he placed gentle kisses at the corners of her mouth, Julia whispered,
“I’m not saying no either.”
She tugged at the hem of his T-shirt, needing to feel his bare skin
against hers. Micah shifted their bodies so he could sit up without
breaking their embrace. Before leaning back on the couch, he slid his
hands up her back to unclasp her bra. Julia leaned back as he slid the
straps from hershoulders, allowing him to take in the sight of her
swollen breasts.
Micah kissed and nipped his way down Julia’s neck to her chest until he
slowly took one taut nipple into his mouth. She moaned as his tongue
teased his way around the sensitive tip. In anticipation, her panties
were drenched. There would be time for taking it slow later. Right now,
she needed him.
Julia hurriedly worked on the stud on Micah’s jeans, “Do you still carry
one … in your … wallet?” she whispered between deep kisses. Micah
nodded in confirmation, and Julia reached under him.
Micah sat on the couch with Julia straddled across his lap. “Baby, not
here …” She swallowed hard at his words.
“I swear, I’ll kill you if you stop now,” Julia warned. She was past the
point of no return.

About H.B. Heinzer:
With
the exception of three years spent in the middle of Nebraska, H.B.
Heinzer has called southern Wisconsin home. During that time in
Nebraska, she imagined one of her favorite authors living on the far
western edge of the county, just south of the highway. At the time,
becoming a novelist was a distant dream for her. Now, she is the author
living in that location. Ironically, she later found out that same
favorite author lives just outside the town HB lived in for the first
eighteen years of her life.
Now, HB lives in the middle of nowhere but still close enough to the
city to not feel isolated. It's the perfect place to let her two kids
run and explore their huge yard, teach them about the food chain as they
prepare their first-ever garden and debate building a chicken coop.
It's one of those dreams that is only possible thanks to the amazing
opportunities that have come through writing.
