Synopsis
Nova
Reed used to have dreams-of becoming a famous drummer, of marrying her true
love. But all of that was taken away in an instant. Now she's getting by as
best she can, though sometimes that means doing things the old Nova would never
do. Things that are slowly eating away at her spirit. Every day blends into the
next . . . until she meets Quinton Carter. His intense, honey brown eyes
instantly draw her in, and he looks just about as broken as she feels inside.
Quinton once got a second chance at life-but he doesn't want it. The tattoos on his chest are a constant reminder of what he's done, what he's lost. He's sworn to never allow happiness into his life . . . but then beautiful, sweet Nova makes him smile. He knows he's too damaged to get close to her, yet she's the only one who can make him feel alive again. Quinton will have to decide: does he deserve to start over? Or should he pay for his past forever?

Teaser
Half way through it, Nova shuts her eyes and starts swaying her
hips to the beat, her lips matching the movements of the singer’s. “I love this
song,” she says with her eyes shut and her hands are on the back of her neck.
My eyes trace the curves of her body and the
enthralling way she moves. “I love watching you,” I whisper so softly I know
she can’t hear. I dig my fingertips into my palms, trying to resist the
compulsion to place my hands on her hips and move with her.
As the song keeps playing, though, I become more
and more hypnotized by her, and the way she lets herself go, when usually she’s
so contained. For the briefest second I’m glad I’m there with her, which makes
me feel confused and guilty, because I should want to be with Lexi. Thoughts
are drifting through my head, in long sequences that don’t match, yet they do
when they’re put together in a different order and suddenly, for a fleeting,
guilty, irreversible moment I’m glad my heart decided to beat again.
I step forward,
not sure what’s driving me, but giving in to it regardless. Then I wrap my arms
around her and pull her nearer, closing my eyes as the sound of her voice
caresses my ears. She leans back against me and we sway together as the music
encases us. I wish I could keep my eyes shut forever because then I’d never
have to go back to reality. I don’t try to kiss her or feel her up. I just hold
her and let our bodies stay linked, wanting to know her and understand her more
than I have with anyone . For an instant, I have something to hold onto
again, a reason to keep breathing, to live.
