“I'm not sure what possessed me to do it. Maybe it
was the impossible expectations I faced, maybe it was my own self-loathing. But
I just knew I needed something different to happen. I needed
someone...something...to derail me from my current path. Otherwise, I would
become lost...a hollowed out shell of a man. So I did it. I approached her,
then I pursued her, then I made her mine. And my life was saved...”Ryan Burnham is the privileged son of a U.S. Congressman and captain of his university’s hockey team. While he is on the verge of fulfilling his dreams to play in the NHL, his parents want him on a different course. One he is expected to accept for the sake of his family’s public image.
Forced to abandon her music career after the heart breaking death of her parents, Danny Cross exists on the opposite side of the tracks from Ryan. She is struggling to make her own way, working two jobs, attending college part time and volunteering in a homeless shelter. She is on a mission to build her own success.
With a chance meeting, their vastly different worlds collide, causing each to evaluate whether they are truly on the correct path to self-fulfillment and happiness. Can their relationship survive? Particularly when others are against them every step of the way. A lot can happen in just ten short days...
Excerpt:
Ryan is waiting for me and as I get closer to him, I appreciate just how enormously tall he is in his skates. I sure hope he's steady in them because just a few feet from him I launch myself into his arms and wrap my legs around his waist. He's wearing too much gear for my legs to wrap all the way around him but his hands are firmly gripping my ass to hold me in place. I plaster my mouth to his and he kisses me back with abandon, squeezing me tight.
I
move my mouth to his neck and nibble there.
"I'm so proud of you, Ryan."
He
groans but says, "Danny...I'm all gross and sweaty."
"I
don't care," I say as I work my way back to his mouth. After kissing him
lightly there, I murmur against his lips, "I plan on getting sweaty with
you a lot in the future."
Ryan
whips around and crushes me to the wall with his body and thoroughly claims my
lips with his. Eventually, he pulls back and I'm thankful no one has walked by
us yet. "You know it makes me crazy in lust with you when you say things
like that."
I
smile coyly at him and stroke his face. "Ryan...what are we waiting
for?" I know my eyes are full of yearning and I hope he understands the
depth of it.
