About A Promise Made:
Josh McKenzie may come off as intimidating with his solid build and cold stare, but when trouble calls, Marla quickly learns there is more to the sexy tatted man with the British accent. And if she’s not careful, she can easily lose herself in his gentle touch and soft voice.
A feisty redhead with a mouth that won’t quit, Marla Sullivan knows how to push all of Josh’s buttons, making him want her in the worst way. His biggest hurdle is breaking through her stubborn walls and proving he’s here to stay.
When Marla’s faced with an unknown danger, Josh is forced to reveal his buried past. Promises made and surfaced truths may be the catalyst that brings them together...or pushes them further apart.
Exclusive Excerpt
Marla’s form strutted out the door,
her long hair flowing down her creamy white shoulders and hourglass frame. That black dress hugged her petite body, and
I observed the way her ass moved as she hooked her coat and purse over her
arm. Her femininity was alluring. The way she held herself and her delicate
skin smelling like cinnamon made me hard.
It matched her sizzling mouth that I wanted to suck on and kiss raw.
I
lifted myself out of the seat and crossed the room to her as she fumbled to put
on her coat. One side hung down and I
grabbed it with ease. She jerked away,
attempted to escape me as I held it up.
Mahogany eyes glared at me. She
was on defense, no doubt from Ryan and whatever other idiots had disillusioned
her about chivalry and romance. I would
prove to her it wasn’t dead.
“Is
the date set with Dumbledore?”
Her
ruby red colored lips pressed down a smile as she shook her head. “His name’s Gandalf, and he asked me to an
early bird dinner at Denny’s.”
Cute. At least she was open to joking with me, if
only a bit. But she was also
nervous. I could see it reflected in the
way she moved, even the way she breathed.
“Let me walk you to your car.”
“No,
I’m fine.”
She
moved at a faster pace and I kept up easily.
I wasn’t letting her walk alone at night, especially with the type of
men I saw in there. “I’m walking you
out.”
“My
car’s in the parking garage, they have security cameras.”
She
was one tough cookie. Independent, used
to doing things on her own, she probably attracted the men who were complete
opposite of her. She liked to be in
control and so did I. You’d think this
would pose some type of problem, but I was attracted to it. I moved closer to her, my mouth near her
ear. “You like pushing me away, don’t
you?”
She
turned her head toward me and rolled her eyes.
“Let me guess, you’re one of those alphas who likes to see his woman
submit. You want the type of woman who
will adore you every night, follow you around all day, and tell others how
amazing you are at everything you do.”
“You
certainly like pretending you know who I am.
Since we met you’ve been nothing but judgmental toward me and only
me. Why is that?”
We
were riding in the lift, but she didn’t dare give me a glance. Instead she pressed the button to the ground
floor, even though it had already been lit up.
She pressed at it again, as if it would make it go faster.
“I
don’t like guys like you.”
“Guys
like me?”
“Yeah. I’ve dated guys like you.”
I
couldn’t help but laugh as I rested in the corner against the wall. What to say to a woman who thought she
already knew everything about you? I’d
give it a go. “So, some idiot who lived
in the gym dated and hurt you, and now you think all men who work out are the
same?”
“Whether
they live in the gym or not, they all end up being the same. They all want a certain type of woman.”
“Which
is what?”
The
doors finally opened and she scurried out, searching for her keys in her
bag. “The easy woman to comply with
whatever they want, whenever they want, however they want.”
“That
type of woman is boring.”
She
turned to her red Toyota Prius and opened the door, throwing her purse in the
passenger side and starting her car.
“Exactly. Yet they all want it.”
Before
she could shut the door, I stepped in front of it and leaned down as she
strapped on her seatbelt. “Darling, I’m
not afraid of hard work. I know you’re
an independent woman, and though most men find that threatening, I find it
extremely sexy.”
“You
know what I find extremely not
sexy? The fact that you find a woman
like me to be hard work.
Strike one, pal.”
She
threw her hand up holding two fingers, and either she was warning me that I had
two chances left, or she shot me the peace sign. I believe it was the latter. Either way, she was not happy. If I wanted to make headway with Red, I was
going to have to get some inside help to thaw the icy heart within that fiery
woman.
