Blurb:
Emory
faces life’s challenges at the one place that’s never failed her, the ballet
barre. But even the barre can’t steady
her when fate brings her face-to-face with her old college flame, Mason, who’s
hoping to return to the NFL after a career-threatening injury. Before they can surrender to their sexual
desires and find salvation in each other’s arms, they need to come to terms
with their past. Mason must confront the
demons that have set him on a path of self-destruction, while Emory must decide
whether to keep her painful secrets locked away, or expose them and risk losing
the love of her life. But nothing can
prepare Mason for what Emory has kept hidden, or the possibility that he
himself may be to blame for the very secrets she keeps – and why they continue
to haunt her.
Excerpt:
Emory sat between Olivia and Wesley, as three nail
technicians worked on their feet. “This
is the best idea you’ve had in a while, girl,” Wesley said, wiggling his toes
in the water. “Thanks for inviting
me.” Emory pointed to Olivia giving her
credit.
“She told me about Tomás, and honey, there’s nothing better
for a broken heart than hitting the spa.”
“Thank you, Olivia, I’m feeling better already.” Wesley leaned his head back, easing his
mind. “We’re not just doing feet, huh?”
“We’re doing it all!”
Emory said, giggling. “Manis,
pedis, facials, massages, and Olivia, you’re getting your hair and makeup done
for our shoot.”
“We deserve it all,” Olivia said, “for all the shit we put
up with from our men.” Wesley and Emory
nodded in agreement, but then Olivia turned serious. “But what I really need is a wax. Must be a damn forest down there by
now!” Wesley and Emory, along with the
technicians, erupted in laughter. “Was
that inappropriate?”
“No way,” he said. “I
come here once a month to take care of that area. They have this hard wax they use. Hurts less.”
Olivia appreciated the tip.
“I might try that.”
“Too much information, Wesley,” Emory said.
“Whatever, it’s not like I said she should vajazzle
herself.”
Emory hid her face, mortified, regretting she’d allowed
Wesley to come, but Olivia was intrigued.
“Is that popular in Charlotte? It
seems all the Texas housewives are doing it.”
Wesley quickly asked, “Emory?”
“I wouldn’t know,” she said, then apologized to the
technicians for her friends.
“Oh, come on,” he said, “we ballerinas are all bare down
there. You can’t have more than a
landing strip.”
“I prefer Brazilian,” Olivia volunteered.
Emory turned bright red.
“Someone help me!”
