One to Keep by Tia Louise
Release Date: Jan 15, 2014
Release Date: Jan 15, 2014
There's a new guy in town...
"Patrick Knight, single, retired Guard-turned private investigator. I was a closer. A deal maker. I looked clients in the eye and told them I'd get their shit done. And I did..."
Patrick doesn't do "nice."
At least, not anymore.
After his fiancée cheats, he follows up with a one-night stand and a disastrous office hook-up. His business partner (Derek Alexander) sends him to the desert to get his head straight--and clean up the mess.
While there, Patrick meets Elaine, and blistering sparks fly, but she's not looking for any guy. Or a long-distance relationship.
Patrick's ready to do anything to keep her, but just when it seems he's changed her mind, the skeletons from his past life start coming back.
Genre: Contemporary Romance

Suppressing
a grin, I cupped her cheeks again and covered her mouth with mine. Her lips
parted, and our tongues met. I felt her relaxing, and in that moment, the
questions in my head were answered and the answers satisfied me deeply. She was
mine. No matter what came next. With a calm confidence, I knew I’d never let
her go again.
My
mouth moved to her cheek. “Nobody’s getting over anybody here. So why torture
us both?”
Her
body shook with her small laugh. “Aren’t you trained for torture?”
“Yes,
but you’re not.”
She
slid down and put her cheek against my chest again. My fingers threaded into
her silky hair. She was so beautiful in my arms.
Her
head turned, and she rested her forehead on me, exhaling deeply. “I still don’t
want a long distance relationship.”
But
her words didn’t knock the breath out of me like the first time. Back then, I
wasn’t sure of anything. Now everything had fallen into place. Everything felt
possible. I pushed against the mattress, sitting up and bringing her with me.
Her green eyes glistened when they met mine, but I smiled.
“So
we’ll figure it out,” I said, smoothing my thumbs over her cheeks. “We’ll get
through the weeks however we can, we’ll be together on the weekends, and we’ll
figure out what the future’s going to look like. This distance is not forever.”
Her
head dropped, but only for a moment. When she lifted it again, she moved
forward, wrapping her arms around my neck. My hands spanned her waist before
sliding up her body to her beautiful breasts. The scent of cactus flower
surrounded me, and I lay her back, ready to catch up on all the days we’d
missed.
“Now,
that first time was amazing, but it went way too fast.” I covered one tight
nipple with my mouth and then the other as her little moans began, her fingers
threaded in my hair.
“You
think?” she sighed.
“Yes,”
I said against her body, traveling lower. I kissed her flat stomach, inhaling
the warm perfume lingering on her skin. She whispered my name, and I gave her
belly one more kiss before catching her thighs and spreading them open...
