Synopsis
He was my
salvation.
Interviewing the notorious owner of ‘Ignition’ should have
been simple. When asked to go home with him, I should’ve said ‘no.’ But Noah
Hamilton’s tattooed, hard body and rugged features were impossible to resist. I
wanted him to touch me. And I longed to be loved again. I craved the escape and
was desperate to know him. Much like his lifestyle, our heated affair took off
at warp speed, proving to be stronger than either of us anticipated. Trapped
between my past and future, there was only one decision to make. So I ran…
She was my downfall.
From the moment Lizzie Ryder stepped into my shop, I wanted
her. Had to have her. A reserved journalist with a body of sin and mesmerising
eyes was all it took for me to fall. Hard. The night she let me touch her,
taste her, I knew I was done for. I never deserved her, but needed to make her
mine. She found the heart I never knew I had, brought it to life, and then
crushed it to dust. And just like her storm-filled eyes, I drowned in the flood
of her desertion. Reaching my breaking point, I struggled to forget the only
woman I ever foolishly fell for and dove headfirst into my dark past, barely
surviving her.
And now she’s back.
What happens when our weaknesses become our strengths? Do we
reveal and fight…or keep our secrets and run? And can we withstand the
devastation left after the Beautiful Storm?

Excerpt
“Do you do
this often?”
He has the
decency to look a little embarrassed. He runs his fingers through his hair, and
the action ruffles it to the point of distraction. I struggle to tear my eyes
away.
“This… Doing
relationships, if you want to call them that, this way, is the only thing I can
offer. I’m the guy women want for a night. I’m a trophy fuck. I can’t give more
and I don’t want to.”
My heart
stutters a fraction before I regain control. His words shouldn’t bother me
because I never expected anything more from him. Still, the absolute certainty
he emits brings the whole situation to reality. But there’s something in the
way his brow furrows that makes me think it’s a choice. There’s a
reason.
“Why? Just out
of interest.”
He stalks
over, caging me against the wall. My hands press against his taut chest and his
breath flutters against my ear. “Well, if I told you, it wouldn’t be my secret
then, would it?”
All logical
thought disappears, replaced with an intense desire heating my veins. It surges
through me setting every nerve on fire. What did I ask him?
I dig my
fingers in a fraction, but there’s no give in the flesh, his muscles beneath
are strung tight. His face is a hair’s width from mine. His breath grazes
across my face in small pants. I catch the faint smell of beer, mixed with his
closeness and the strength of him, and it makes me weak. I have no defences. I
don’t want any.
Without
warning, he pulls away and strides to the other side of the room. He keeps his
back to me. With his head dipped, his shoulders rise and fall almost as if he’s
restraining himself.
His reaction
confuses me. “Noah?”
When he turns
to me the wildfire in his eyes takes my breath away. And I swallow hard,
waiting to see what he’ll do next.
“You need to
leave.” The words strike hard, but his demeanour counters
them.
“What?
Why?”
“I promised I
wouldn’t touch you unless you asked me to. I can’t keep that
promise.”
About The Author
Megan Isaacs lives happily in the UK with her husband and son.
If you asked
her about herself she would say she's completely crackers. Always the introvert
with an extrovert exterior. A complete mash up of improbabilities.
She loves her
family, but that goes without saying. She loves reading and tea. Lots and lots
of tea. She used to be pretty good shot with a shotgun, but hasn't shot since
she was five months pregnant when she beat her husband for the one and only
time. Hanging up her barrels seemed like a good idea after that.
