About Why Stars Chase the Sun
JADE
Twenty-four hours.
A no-strings-attached adventure with the most gorgeous man
I’ve ever seen—this was my alcohol-slash-lust-fueled proposal, and given before
I could consider the potential ramifications. While his looks alone are enough
to make a girl swoon, it’s the rest of him—a perfect balance of mysterious,
sweet, and effortlessly charming—that draws me in. Through his cryptic comments
and half-answers, he’s quickly become an enigma I’m determined to solve.
One way or another, this adventure promises to snap the
stagnant, lackluster pattern my love life has been locked in lately.
Is it naïve and a little reckless to think this won’t blow
up in my face? Probably.
But the bigger question is the only one I need to answer…
Is the chance to soar among the stars worth the risk of
being burned when the sun eventually rises?
EMMETT
Love is a mistake I won’t make again.
My rules are simple. Keep things surface-deep. Don’t make
plans. And never, ever get attached.
One look at her is all it takes for me to break my first
rule.
One conversation with her is all it takes for me to question
everything.
Which means accepting her proposal is bound to be a mistake.
She has no idea who I am or what kind of demons I live with,
so I tell myself there’s no harm in spending one day with her. But the more I
lose myself in her, the more she brings me out of the darkness and into her
light, the harder it’ll be to let her go.
When reality comes crashing down on us in the worst way
possible, I have to decide between walking away…or risking everything for the
woman who breaks all of my rules.
Exclusive Excerpt
“Jade,”
I bellowed when she was nowhere to be seen in the living room or kitchen. I
darted glances down both hallways visible from the living room, one leading to
the bedrooms and one to the office. My feet knew which direction to go before
my brain did. Not surprising, considering which part of my anatomy is
running the show right now.
All
those thoughts of ways I wanted to make Jade pay for torturing me earlier
evaporated as soon as I stepped into the office. I had half a second to take in
the sight of her, casually leaning against my desk looking drop-dead gorgeous
in a dress that would’ve looked even better discarded on the floor, before she
launched herself into my arms. I welcomed her assault and hauled her body
against mine.
“Missed
you,” she drawled against my lips, while her hands looped around my neck.
“Missed
you too, pretty girl,” I replied before sealing our smiling lips together.
Keeping her in place, I walked backward to the desk and eased Jade down on an
empty spot.
I
allowed my hands to glide over the silky material of her dress along her waist,
my desperation for her growing with each inch of fabric I covered. She leaned
into my chest, fisting the hair along the base of my skull and pulling me
closer. My hands traveled along her ribcage until they were parallel with her
perfect, full breasts that begged for my attention. My thumb grazed her peak,
and she moaned into my mouth while letting her legs fall open so I could close
the last remaining space between our bodies. Her hands worked furiously at the
tie around my neck while I stripped off my suit jacket and let it fall to the
floor. I immediately dropped my hands to the hem of her dress, tugging it up to
finally expose those legs I’d spent half my day wanting wrapped around my body.
I
leaned back just enough to get a better view of her. My eyes couldn’t decide
where to linger—the rise and fall of her chest, the garters attached to those
damn stockings on her thighs, or the shadow her dress cast between her legs
beckoning me in.
Godfuckingshit.
“I
hope you’re not overly attached to anything you’re currently wearing, because I
don’t have the patience to be gentle right now,” I warned, my eyes scanning the
length of her once more before landing on her face.
Her
legs hooked around my thighs to pull me closer, and she peered up at me with
hungry, hooded eyes. “Took you long enough, Boston,” she rasped with a smile,
fingers finding the buttons of my shirt.
