PAST REGRETS

Never

and Friendship, Book 2
Julia
Maxwell was a seize-the-moment party girl until the night she spent with
up-and-coming rocker Ryan Callander. From that moment, she was a one-man woman.
Pity he hasn’t kept with the program.
Tired
of the secrets that have kept her out of the press and Ryan’s fans happy, angry
with mounting evidence of infidelity, Julia is older, wiser, and determined to
divorce his cheatin’ ass.
Ryan’s
long European tour had more than its share of hard knocks—one of which landed
on his head when he was mugged. Divorce papers waiting for him at home are a
shock that fills in some of the holes in his sketchy memory. But it could be
too late to salvage his marriage.
If
Ryan thinks flirtatious smiles, seductive touches, and hot-and-heavy kisses are
going to smooth things over, Julia’s got a hammer with his name on it. To her
surprise, he picks it up, determined to rebuild a bright future for both of
them. But the past is lurking with some missing pieces that could bring their
hearts crashing down.
Excerpt:
“Julia!” Ryan crossed the room in seconds flat and grabbed
her into a tight embrace before she could react. His familiar scent rolled over
her, masculine with a hint of spicy green and the outdoors. He pressed her head
to his chest, apparently content to hold her against his trembling frame. For
long seconds she let him, too stunned to react. Then her shock gave way to
fury, and she lashed out with her foot, kicking him in the shin.
“Ow!” He released her abruptly, an aggrieved scowl
distorting his pretty face. “What did you do that for?”
Cripes, she’d broken her foot, not that she’d admit it to
him. She gathered the pain and hurled it back in harsh words. “You can’t come
waltzing back after nearly a year and expect me to welcome you. Didn’t you
receive the divorce papers?”
“I don’t want a divorce.” His blue eyes bored into her.
Determined. Steady. He glanced at their avid audience. “Maybe we should take
this somewhere private?”
Julia dug in her heels, feeling contrary. He had no right to
burst into her life again. And as for orders—forget it. She squared her
shoulders and glowered at him. “They’re my friends. They can hear anything you
have to say to me.” Aw, heck. Ryan. She’d thought she’d hate him… No! She did
hate him. “You cheated on me.”
“When did Julia get married?” Susan asked.
Curiosity buffeted Julia in waves, coming at her from all
directions. Great. Just great.
She lowered her voice, steeling herself against his
charisma. One look at his dark hair, blue eyes and strong runner’s body and her
willpower seeped through the soles of her favorite high-heel pumps. Go figure.
“I can’t talk to you now. We should discuss this with our
lawyers present.”
A total contradiction of her previous words. Off-balance,
surprise and a tinge of outrage ran hotly through her veins, yet she wanted to
grab him and lay one on his sexy lips. She wanted to lick along the tail of the
dragon winding around one biceps and explore the scaled body tattooed on his
shoulder. How could he do this to her?
