*Please note, LOVING YOU ALWAYS is book two in The Bennetts Series, book one is WHEN YOU ARE MINE
The man she can never have . . .
Kerris Moreton should be the happiest woman in the world: She has a successful business and is about to start the family she's always wanted. But the man of her dreams-the one whose green eyes see straight into her soul and whose gentle hands make her body hum with pleasure-is not hers.
Each secret moment with Walsh Bennett serves to remind Kerris of what she's missing. And every stolen hour makes it harder to see her future without him. But being with Walsh would betray a sacred promise and upend her perfect life. When tragedy strikes, the razor's edge between love and loyalty grows sharper than ever. And Kerris must decide where her heart will fall
EXCERPT
Moving like an old woman, she shuffled into her bedroom and lay on
the bed. She didn’t bother removing the kimono, but just slipped under the
covers and went to sleep.
“If you were ready for your someone special, what would she be
like?”
Walsh looked away from Shelby’s probing stare and directly into
Kerris’s eyes. He smiled that slow smile she’d never seen him give to anyone
else, reaching out to tangle his long fingers with hers. He pulled Kerris to
him, towering over her, sheltering her. She had missed this feeling. In these
few moments, she forgot about Shelby. Forgot about the world outside of these
arms. There was only now. There was only them, and things were right. She
wasn’t sure how it had happened, but things were finally right.
Walsh whispered her name like an incantation.
Kerris. Kerris. Kerris.
“Kerris!”
“Walsh,” she muttered, still clawing her way out of the dream. She
sat up in bed, rubbing her eyes and pulling the kimono close around her neck.
“What’d you just call me?” Cam stood in the semidark, the lamp
illuminating the mounting rage on his face.
“Cam! Oh, gosh. No. No, it’s not…not—” she sputtered, still
blinking heavy sleep from her eyes.
“In your sleep!” Cam chopped a stiff hand through the air and
leaned down until their noses almost touched. “And you have the nerve to accuse
me of cheating? When you lie down beside me every night and dream about him”
His hot, alcohol-soaked breath fanned her face. words were not crisp,
but slurred, slopping around in his mouth, crowded out by anger and outrage.
“Cam, you’ve been drinking.” With false calm, she reached up to
touch his face, wiping at the dampness on his forehead. “It’s been a volatile
night for us both. Let’s talk about this tomorrow when we’re both in our right
minds.”
Cam pushed her hand away.
“Oh, I’m finally in my right mind. I came back to talk things
through. Give it one more chance, at least for the baby’s sake, but I had it
right the first time. I’m done.”
