Synopsis:
It started with a drink.
It turned into a promise.
Ransom
Scott lost his heart the day the woman he loved chose another man. Or
so he thought. Estranged from his brother, distancing himself from the
world, he’s been drowning his sorrows in cheap booze and
women…determined to forget.
His world is falling apart, until a beautiful woman decides to take a chance on him.
Dani
Deviche is as bewitching as she is innocent. Full of youth and
vitality, she captivates him. Challenges him. She’s everything Ransom
never thought to look for in the opposite sex, and he can’t get enough.
When
a promise of friendship turns into something more, can Ransom fulfill
his end of the bargain, or will a secret from Dani’s past destroy his
last chance at happiness?
**Author’s Note** This book was written as a compliment to the Forbidden Trilogy. However, it can be read as a standalone.
FORBIDDEN VALENTINE
EXCERPT
THERE
WAS A STRANGE sensation bubbling just beneath the surface of his skin.
Ransom couldn’t put his finger on what it was, but he knew it had to do
with his brother and that hug they were forced to share. All he knew was
it was warm, comforting, and the underlying meaning he refused to
acknowledge set him on edge.
He wasn’t ready to let go of his anger. Some bridges weren’t meant to be crossed, not after so much water had passed beneath it.
The
knowledge that his brother couldn’t guard his heart any better than he
could made no difference at all, though he knew it should. The problem
was that they’d always had a sort of rivalry between them, taking from
one another, especially when it came to women. So in his mind, he’d been
scorned. Left out to dry like a piece of wet laundry.
And now the very fabric of him was wrinkled, and he didn’t know the first thing about how to iron himself out.
Except that a faint voice in his head whispered to him, and it sounded suspiciously like Dani’s name.
They
sat in his living room, the silence a pulsing beat of sexual tension
that no one could deny. He wanted her, and he knew, despite her best
efforts to deny it, she wanted him, too.
He’d
enjoyed having her with him at the party. Hadn’t realized just how much
it would mean to him or how much it would affect him. Just by being
there, she’d calmed his nerves, as well as silencing the little voice
inside his head that wanted nothing more than to climb back in his car
and leave.
But
she’d served as a safety net. A lifeline. Someone he could lean on,
even if she didn’t know it. And she clearly didn’t judging by the way
she sat so stiff now, her shyness calling to him. Begging for him to
take it away.
He only knew of one way to do that, and he didn’t think she’d go for it.
Sex
was something that Ransom had grown accustomed to using in order to
bury his feelings, in order to keep the overwhelming depression from
sucking him down into an inescapable oblivion. Somehow, he didn’t think
it would be the same with Dani. It was a terrifying thought, and the
only thing that kept him from jumping on her and ravishing her small,
curvy body.
Hers was a body made for sin, and Ransom was inclined to explore every dark corner. Somehow he resisted, though only barely.
