Violence: Yes Drinking: Yes Sex Scenes: Steamy ================= EXCERPT Braeden tore away leaving me feeling cold, like the only leaf on a barren tree, a leaf left to tremble alone in the wind. He raked a hand through his hair while he paced the floor. He was tortured and scared, a man barely hanging on by a thread. Seconds dragged until he said thickly, "I don't understand any of this." "Because it makes no sense, right?" I snatched my barrette up with trembling hands and started fussing with my hair. "I've only known you a little over a month, yet it feels like a million years. And now I'm thinking-" "Don't." He stalked back over to me and grabbed my hands. "No more talking. No more thinking." His voice was rough and desperate. "Because if I allow myself to ponder this insanity-to try and understand it...I swear, I'll go mad." He inhaled deeply and pressed his forehead to mine. "I knew you were trouble the moment I saw you in that window. God help me." "The Darkest Frost, Vol. 2" will be available in the fall 2015.
