She doesn’t
want Noah anyway. He might be even hotter than he was before, but he’s not a
nice guy anymore. He’s made a fortune by acting ruthless in business, and the
last thing he’s looking for is small-town domestic life. He doesn’t even want
to be in town again, but a sick grandmother guilted him into it. Then he has
nerve to not even recognize Emma when he sees her again. Maybe it’s been seven
years, but a decent guy would remember his best friend’s little sister.

Part of her

He stepped
her backward until she was trapped between him and the railing of the front
steps. They were on a public street. In front of her building. Anyone could see
them. But the knowledge just made the whole thing even hotter, even more

She
clutched at him eagerly, arching against him as his tongue delved deeper into
her mouth, claiming her completely. The fingers of one hand were fisted in her
hair now, and it felt possessive, thrillingly dominant.
