SYNOPSIS:
Lark Williams
leads a fast-paced life, always on the edge of danger. Running from his past
and fighting to keep his present life a secret, he keeps his heart out of reach
from love. The walls he built around himself come crumbling down when he meets
Azurdee Emerson.
Azurdee lives a
peaceful life in the small town of Wimberley, Texas. Her tame world quickly
becomes heated as she begins to fall in love with Lark. He’s everything she has
vowed to stay away from—dark and mysterious, and not to mention, sexy as hell
and full of secrets.
Just as Lark and
Azurdee give in to their feelings of love, Lark’s present life threatens the
safety of the one person he would sacrifice his own happiness for. When Lark
finds history repeating itself, he makes a decision that will forever change
both of their lives, leaving one heartbroken and lost and the other fighting to
survive.

Hello? Jessie?”
“What did you just ask me?” she said.
I chuckled. “After your first time. Were
you sore?”
Then she screamed. Right in my ear.
“Azurdee! You and Lark? Oh. My. God. Was it good? I mean, I know it hurts at
first, but after that? How many times did y’all? Was he sweet to you? That
bastard better have been sweet to you! Was it hot? Oh my God, tell me
everything!”
I laughed as I made my way downstairs. I
saw about a half dozen people out back cleaning up the rest of the reception.
Tables and chairs were being taken down and placed into a trailer.
“Azurdee!”
“Oh, sorry. I was watching them take down
the rest of the things from the reception.”
She let out a long sigh and said,
“Azurdee, spill it.”
I moved into the living room and sat down
on the sofa. “Oh Jessie, it was amazing. He was amazing. He kept calling me mi amor! It melted my heart
every time he said it. He was sweet, passionate, and so gentle. It was beyond
anything I had ever dreamed.”
She let out the silliest little yelp. “I
knew Lark Williams had it in him.
He just needed to find the right girl.”
My stomach dipped a little and my smile
faded a bit. “Well, I’m not sure if I’m the right girl or even the girl.”
“Wait. Was this a one-time thing? Please
tell me you didn’t agree to him taking your virginity and walking away!”
“No. We both agreed that we would be
exclusive, but I have a feeling this is the first time he has been exclusive
since…well since…” Why couldn’t I say her name?
“Nikki?” Jessie asked.
“Yes. Jessie, why do I feel like I’m in
competition with someone who passed away years ago? I can’t shake this feeling
that he was comparing me to her.”
She let out a breath and said, “Pesh.
Nonsense, Azurdee. He would never do that. I’m sure it was probably just very
powerful for him. I mean, by his own admission he has said he has no intentions
of ever…”
Her voice trailed off and I knew she was regretting
what she had just said. “Jessie, I knew how Lark was and how he thought when I
got into this. I know he could walk away at any given moment.”
I silently prayed that would never
happen, but deep down inside I knew it was a strong possibility.
“He won’t walk away, sweetie. I see the
way he looks at you. I think you are the game changer he’s been waiting for.”
I bit down on my fingernail and began
chewing it. “Maybe. I don’t want to get my hopes up, ya know?”
“So
tell me…are you sore?” she asked with a giggle.
I felt like a teenager in high school.
“Let’s just say he told me he was going to make it so I would think about him
every time I moved…for a few days.”
Jessie let out a gasp and began laughing.
“Oh my.”
I dropped my head back onto the sofa and
said, “Jessie…he is amazing. I mean…the way he can be so sweet and then so
dirty. Oh God. He had me going insane with lust for him.”
“The sweet part surprises me, but not the
dirty,” she said with a laugh. I laughed in return and said, “Four times.”
“Four times! Look at the stamina Mr.
Williams has!”
We both lost it in a laughing fit.
“Jesus, Azurdee. No wonder you’re sore.”
“Bed twice, bathtub once, and then the
shower,” I said in an almost whisper.
