It’s always great when I’m able to spotlight an author that some may not be familiar yet and Anna Brooks had first caught my eye when she released Make Me Forget. She just recently released her second book in the It’s Kind Of Personal series and I’m so excited to be able to have her on the blog today. Read below for an excerpt from Show me How and don’t forget to enter the giveaway for a chance to win an ebook of both Show Me How and Make Me Forget!
One choice can ruin everything…
When a stop at a shady motel puts Brandon Parker face to face with his best friend, Mary, for the first time in over a decade, he almost didn’t believe it. He’d never stopped searching for her, but even a career in law enforcement couldn’t help him find a woman who wanted to stay invisible.
When Mary Benson ran away at eighteen, she did it with good reason. A man was in the hospital because of her, and the people she loved were in danger. She had to leave to keep them safe. Mary’s guilt was her consolation. She’d lived with her decisions and accepted the hand dealt to her.
But Brandon was about to shuffle the deck in a way she never expected. One thing was for sure, he thought she’d be happy to see him… and he’d never been more wrong about anything in his life.
“Fuck,” he whispers. Unbuckling his seat belt, he turns to me. “I don’t know what the hell to do here, Mary. I don’t want to scare you away, but I don’t want to let you out of my sight. Part of me wants to lock you in a room and fuck the guilt right out of you. And the other wants to throw you over my knee and punish you for what you put me through. And yet another part wants to pull you over to me right now and watch as you ride me. But I’m afraid if I do any or all of those things, I’ll fuck up any chance I have to keep you.”
His rough words shock me for a second, but then I realize what he’s really saying.
“I’m not leaving.”
I reach up, grab the back of his head, and pull him toward me. His fingers brush a few stray hairs off my face and he leans down to press his lips on my forehead. My eyes close and my hand tightens on his head. Any touch from him makes me crazy; it consumes me. All the years of trying to remember don’t do it justice. Open mouth kisses trail down, and he kisses my bottom lip, then my top, before pulling back and resting his forehead on mine.
