Excerpt
He
bites his bottom lip and grimaces. “Fuck!” He growls out to the trees above him
and then rolls his shoulders to dissipate some of the stress I see settling
there. “Semantics aren’t an excuse. An omission is the same as lying Haddie,
but you’re missing the point entirely. It’s not whether it was a lie or not.
It’s so damn far from that. It’s you using the sex we’ve had to numb yourself
when it should do the exact opposite. It should light your body on fire and
burrow so deep under your skin that all you think about is the next time you
can have me…because fuck if that’s not what you’ve done to me. So I call your
bluff. I’ll keep calling it every fucking day until you admit you want me, that
being with me does that to you too…but you won’t will you?” I just remain
still, face impassive, body raging with emotion beneath the surface. “You’d
rather stand there and tell me you prefer the numb, the void, the nothing, than
admit you need me.”
His eyes have their own language as we stare at each
other, the power of his words bringing tears to my eyes and knocking the words
from my lips. “I was just doing what I thought was best, protecting everyone from
more hurt, more everything.” And I hate
the numb, I scream silently. I hate
it so fucking much that every time we touch you make me feel so alive I realize
how dead I’ve felt inside over the past year.
I don’t know why I don’t tell him the rest. Like if I do
then I’m just sealing my fate by Murphy’s fucking Law so I keep quiet.
“Really? That’s all you’ve got for me? Next time make sure
your eyes and your lips match up City because you’re just adding insult to
injury right now. Your refusal to answer is infuriating. Need me Haddie. Use me as your goddamn emotional punching bag or
your real one for that matter but fucking need me. I’m not some schmuck who’s
going to bolt at the first rough patch and the fact that you still don’t see
that is a crock.” He blows out a loud breath, jaw clenched, anger palpable.
“I’m so fucking pissed but I’m also so fucking mesmerized by you right now and
I don’t know what the hell to do or say. All I know is that protecting someone
from the truth is just another way of shutting them out.”
Book Summary
ONE NIGHT. THAT'S ALL IT WAS
SUPPOSED TO BE.
Reeling from the sudden loss of her
sister, Haddie Montgomery has sworn off relationships. All she wanted from
Beckett Daniels was a sexy distraction to help her escape her pain for just a
little while....There weren’t supposed to be any strings attached—so why can’t
she shake the memory of that unforgettable night from her thoughts? Or the
taste of his kiss from her lips?
No matter how hard Haddie tries to forget
about him, Becks relentlessly tries to prove that she should start living for
today. But she is determined to avoid romantic commitment, and she can always
use her ex-boyfriend’s reappearance to help snuff out the slow burn within her that Becks has sparked....
Or will fate force her to realize that
this kind of connection doesn’t come along very often and a chance at love is
worth the risk?

About the Author
New York Times and USA Today Bestselling author K.
Bromberg is that reserved woman sitting in the corner who has you all fooled
about the wild child inside of her—the one she lets out every time her
fingertips touch the computer keyboard.
K. lives in Southern California with her husband and three
children. When she needs a break from the daily chaos of her life, you can most
likely find her on the treadmill or with Kindle in hand, devouring the pages of
a good, saucy book.
On a
whim, K. Bromberg decided to try her hand at this writing thing. Her debut
novels, Driven, Fueled, and Crashed of The Driven Trilogy were well received
and went on to become multi-platform bestsellers as well as landing on the New
York Times and USA Today lists. Her other works include a short story,
UnRaveled, and a companion piece to The Driven Trilogy titled Raced. She is
currently working on three stand alone Driven novels, Slow Burn, Sweet Ache,
and Hard Beat. She also plans to release a novel addressing the 10 year gap at
the ending of Crashed in late fall 2015
