Synopsis
This
summer isn’t about dying. It’s about living. Jenna Traynor has been given her
life back. After two years of chemo and missing out on college life, she is in
remission. Spending the summer working on Nantucket Island is a good place to
start life again. Hot guys everywhere, fun times at the clubs, long walks on the
beach and beautiful sunrises and sunsets over the ocean from her back porch.
Living life again was the plan. And then she met Bobby…
On
leave from the military, Bobby Callahan needs one thing: a quiet beach to run
and train so his leg will get strong enough for him to return to his post. For
the past three years the only thing that made him get out of bed was the
military. He’d joined the service to get away from sympathetic eyes and worried
faces. He didn’t count on meeting a girl like Jenna whose thirst for life made
him break out of the walls he’d so carefully constructed around himself. And
once he realized she had his heart, he knew he never wanted to let her go. And
then fate stepped in…
This
series is a New Adult College Romance series that contains sexual situations
that are graphic and explicit and not intended for readers under 18 years old.
Excerpt
One
thing I know for certain in this life is that I’ve never felt the way I do
now. I rest my head on Bobby’s shoulder as we lay naked together in my
bed. Neither one of us bother to reach for the sheet to cover our
body. What’s the purpose? My skin is still slick with sweat from
sex, but through the open window, I feel the cool breeze coming in from the
ocean as night rolls in and the room darkens completely. The only light
in the room is the small slice of light coming in from the bathroom. I
didn’t realize until now that I’d forgotten to shut off the light earlier when
I’d quickly changed. Now that small slice provides the only light I need
to see Bobby’s beautiful body.
I
feel more than hear Bobby’s stomach rumble with hunger. We’d taken care
of another hunger that has me sated and unable to move. He’d chosen me
over food. It’s stupid. Somehow, it brings me comfort. I don’t know
why.
“What’s
this,” he asks, looking at my arm and rubbing at the trail of marks across my
inner elbow that I know are there, but I can no longer see in the
darkness. “I have shitty veins,” I say, rubbing my other hand over the
spot as if I had the power to wipe the marks away. “I have some on my
thigh too.”
“I
noticed,” he says with a grin.
“I
hate them. They make me look like a junkie.”
“No,
they don’t.”
I
lift my head to look at his face. “Don’t lie.”
“Okay,
you look like a junkie. But you’re not.”
“No,
I’m a cancer survivor. At least for now.”
With
his fingers he lightly makes a circle around my breast, touching me just hard
enough so it doesn’t tickle, but light enough to send shivers through my body.
“You’re
beautiful,” he says softly.
I
lift my gaze to look at him again. He’s looking at my breasts. “Are
you talking to me or my tits?”
