Logan & Candice, on the verge of divorce, decide to give their marriage one last try. But will they be able to get past the issues holding them back? Candice is through with married life and all it entailed: infertility, an adoption gone wrong, and the death of her husband’s twin brother. Now that they’ve been separated for nearly a year, Candice is finally ready to set Logan free. But when he steps back into her life, Candice begins to have second thoughts. Even though she hasn’t fully healed from the heartache she endured over their married years, she can't fathom the thought of losing him a second time. Can Candice let go of past hurts and give Logan a second chance, or will her fears keep them apart? Logan has spent the months of separation giving Candice the space she needed. But when he discovers that Candice is about to file for a divorce, he decides he better take action quick. He didn’t spend the best years of his life with this woman, only to let her slip away. Yet just when the opportunity comes again – his chance to finally make things right – an entirely new force threatens to tear them apart. Will opposition keep the heart-broken couple from getting back together or will they have the strength to break through the barriers, no matter what their future might bring?
Excerpt
Breaking
her own rule now, Candice wandered slightly beyond the light, listening
for his footsteps. They came in the soft, squeaking sound of crunching
snow. She froze in place, unwilling to make a sound as he neared her.
She heard his breathing next, constant and evenly paced, each measure
bringing him closer. She turned her back to him, shrunk her neck into
her shoulders, and giggled in anticipation, feeling like one of her
students at recess.
Just
as the breaths and footfalls neared, Logan’s strong hands gripped
around her waist. The feel of them sending an involuntary thrill to rush
through her. Candice ducked her head to one side, tossed the snow over
her shoulder, and laughed when she heard him groan.
“Aw,
man, right in the face.” She could hear the smile in his voice.
Couldn’t fight back a grin of her own at the confirmation that she’d
gotten him. Logan brought his mouth to her ear, speaking in a throaty
whisper. “You’re going to get it.”
A mass of goosebumps spread over her arms and legs, the effects of his warm breath and teasing threat making her limbs go weak.
He
brought her down gently, cradling her as they fell to the snow. And
then he was above her, shouldering his weight as their laughter fused
into one, glorious sound. A familiar one that made her recall good times
spent with Logan.
Candice’s
mind raced. She didn’t have time to dissect what was happening. Not
even a moment to slow things down. His cold fingers found her neck,
teased her skin as he brought his mouth close to hers. Bells were going
off somewhere in her head. Warning bells. This is not what she’d been
working toward all these months. She’d been planning to let go of Logan
Emerson forever. But the thought only made her want him more.
He leaned in, causing a wild spell of euphoria to spill over her body.
So close. So good. She licked her lips, desperate to drown out the distant warning at last. Dying to satisfy the need building within her.
Logan ran his parted lips along her ear lobe. More goosebumps.
Come on, Logan. Just kiss me before I get ahold of myself.
