Out-of-work violinist Erica Timberly decides enough is
enough. She leaves her abusive boyfriend and flees the big city, but then her
car breaks down in the middle of the night. Though wary of men, she accepts
help from Dylan Haynes, a stranger driving by on the road, and soon recognizes
him as the sexy former drummer of her favorite indie rock band. Maybe, just
maybe, her run of bad luck is finally turning around.
Music teacher Dylan Haynes knows Erica is in trouble, and
her black eye is only the first clue. The stubborn yet vulnerable woman needs a
friend, but he’s determined to give her everything she deserves.
Will Erica listen to the music in her heart and trust Dylan,
or will her past always threaten her future?
Excerpt
Erica leaned up and combed her fingers through her hair. “I’ve never made
love outside before. It’s a surreal experience.”
“We can do it wherever you want. In an elevator, in an alley, in my car.
I’m game anywhere and everywhere for as long as you want me.”
“I want you so much it hurts.”
Dylan thumbed her knuckles and hoped she meant that. “I don’t know how
you feel about labels, but I haven’t had a girlfriend in years. I’ve just had
flings, but I want more than that with you. I want us to be with each other and
no one else. I want a relationship with you.”
Tears welled in her eyes. “I feel divided in two. A part of me thinks
we’re moving too fast, but another part says to jump in with both feet. I want
something real with you too. I don’t want to feel dirty after we fool around.
Just make me happy. Will you do that, Dylan?”
Her soft, pain-filled words struck Dylan like a dagger in his gut, and he
bit the insides of his cheeks to steady his features.
Her ex-boyfriend had probably called her names and degraded her after
they would find release in each other’s body, and the bastard likely never
cared if she reached climax at all.
“I understand, Erica. I promise to treat you with nothing but respect,
and I will do my very best to make you happy. I swear you will always scream
your head off in pleasure every time I touch you. I’m not the sort of man to
get my jollies off and leave my girl hanging.”
Her lips twitched up in a grin. “That’s good to hear.”
“So are you my girl?”
“Yeah, I’m your girl.” Erica giggled and tapped her fingers on his chest.
“How could I not be? You make a very compelling argument, but I will have to
hold you to it. I’m definitely looking forward to screaming every time you
touch me.”
“Let’s rest, and then we’ll play again. The night’s early, and I’ve only
just begun.”
