Blurb
Abigail
has been separated from her husband for almost two years. After a
marriage that brought her only insecurity, she seeks a life now of
peace and independence with their six-year-old daughter. Thomas wants
to put their marriage back together, because he liked the wife he
used to have, but she never wants to be that person again.
She
might need his help with their daughter and start to enjoy his
company again, but she just can't trust him with her heart. Even when
she discovers that her heart still wants him for a husband.
Excerpt
She
was leaning back against the counter, and Thomas was standing far too
close to her. Once again invading her personal space. And this time
she easily recognized his tone as snide. “What the heck is your
problem?”
Thomas
had one hand on the counter beside her, bracing himself as he stood
just a few inches away from her. She would have scooted over, but
that would have been a surrender.
His
green eyes were intent on her face, and she saw his nostrils flare
just a little. “You smell like him.”
Abigail
gasped, mostly from shock and outrage but also with the faintest
trace of arousal at the intimacy of the words. “What?”
“I
said,” he gritted out, edging even closer until the fabric of his
shirt brushed against her arm and one of her breasts, “you smell
like him.”
“Well,
what do you expect?” she demanded, her anger blazing quickly. No
one could rile her up like Thomas could. “I spent the evening with
the man.”
Something
grew even tenser in his expression. “Did you?”
She
knew him well enough to understand the resonance in his words. “Damn
you, Thomas,” she said in a harsh whisper, making sure her voice
didn’t carry past the kitchen. She’d never used such language
before they’d gotten separated. “You have no right to act this
way.”
Clearly
Thomas too was conscious of not waking Mia, since his murmur was
thick, rough, and soft. “I’d like to remind you of the fact that
you’re still my wife.”
“And
what makes you think I need any sort of reminder of that?
His
lips tightened into white. “I saw him walk you to the door.”
She
sucked in an indignant breath and clenched her fists at her sides.
Thomas was still far too close. She could feel the heat radiating off
his body, sense the leashed tension in his stance, hear the fast,
uneven breaths he was taking. “So someone isn’t allowed to be
polite to me now, because I’m still your wife?”
Thomas
made a guttural sound and braced his other hand on the counter,
imprisoning her in between his arms. He leaned forward, pushing her
back, and he rasped against her ear. “That man wasn’t just being
polite. You know it as well as I do.”
She
was so angry now she could hardly think straight, and it was worse to
know that he was right. She’d been foolish in not recognizing what
Jim was thinking long before now.
But
worst of all was a familiar feeling building beneath her belly. She
knew how to recognize it. Knew it was triggered by the proximity of
Thomas’s lean, hard body, his familiar scent flooding her senses,
his piercing eyes and thick voice.
Her
body was primed for sex with him, even as she wanted to scratch lines
down his slightly flushed face.

Thanks for hosting!
Greetings, Noelle!
Welcome to Beyond Romance, and best of luck with the book. This is a scenario that doesn't get as much attention as it probably deserves. When you have a history with a person, things get extremely complicated.
The book sounds really good!
