Title: Tempered Fire (book 3 in Tempered series)
Blurb: Amber Harris is a good girl on
the brink of womanhood. Stanley Morrison is a young man at the start of his
life. For each other, they have always felt the fireworks that two people in
love should feel. But the questions about his past, his pride, and Amber's
father might be the end of what could be a strong relationship. As the two try
to protect their budding romance, some unlikely but powerful forces conspire to
keep them apart. Will they survive the wishes of everyone around them with
their relationship intact?
Excerpt: Emotion burst to life within
her and swarmed through Amber until it overflowed, warm and wet down her
cheeks.
Stan
tasted her tears and groaned. Loosening his hold he broke the kiss, burying his
face against her shoulder. “God,” he mumbled, lifting his head to meet her
gaze. “I’m sorry.”
She
looked at him wide-eyed and trembling. Anger, desire, and wonder warred in her
eyes. She rolled them in an exaggerated gesture. “Now, he apologizes,” she
muttered then leveled her gaze on him.
“Why
haven’t you kissed me like that before?”
His
breath heaved while he struggled for control. “Didn’t think it was proper,
still don’t.”
“So
that’s what you meant by all lips and teeth and tongue?” she asked, her voice
quivering with awe.
He
stepped back, touching her cheek with his uninjured hand. “Yes.” His voice was
raw, eyes fierce. “But not with anger, never with anger. I’m sorry.”
Grabbing
his hand, she pressed a kiss into it. “Show me,” she urged her eyes soft and
warm. “Kiss me again, Stanley.”
“No,
Amber.” But she was pressing against him, her arms sliding around his neck.
Senses dulled by fatigue, resistance clouded by pain, control ravished and
weakened by desire, Stanley succumbed with a groan. Hauling her gently but
firmly against him, he buried his lips on hers, this time with devastating
tenderness.
His
mouth embraced hers tasting, teasing, savoring her lips as though he were a
starving man biting into his first meal in weeks. His teeth nipped at her lip,
tugging a moan from deep within her. Amber clung to him weakly as they slid to
the floor.
