Book Description:
“There
is a vulnerability there, hovering just below the surface. And I want to pick
at it until I expose it. Then I want to kiss it."
Two
years ago, Emily Burnham, had an epiphany about the shallowness of her
life. And she made it her mission to become a different person…a better
woman. Out from under the controlling thumb of her mother, Emily is
tasting the real world for the first time. And she likes it.
Nixon
Caldwell has served his time in the Marine Corps, surviving two brutal tours in
Afghanistan. He is back home, surrounded by what he likes best…isolation.
It's certainly the easiest way to avoid confrontation of the consuming guilt
that is weighing him down.
When
an accident brings Emily and Nix together, he soon learns he is not the master
of his own fate. Struggling with his own pain, Nix tries to guard himself
against Emily’s charms. He wants her in his bed, but he doesn’t want her
in his heart.
Having
grabbed life by the horns, Emily wants it all. But is she willing to
accept just the small part of himself that Nix is offering? Can she reach
the part of his soul that he has deemed to be Off Limits?
This book is the

About the Author
Sawyer Bennett is the
pen name for a snarky southern woman and reformed trial lawyer who decided to
finally start putting on paper all of the stories that were floating in her
head. She is married to a mobster (well, a market researcher) and they have two
big, furry dogs who hog the bed. Sawyer would like to report she doesn't have
many weaknesses but can be bribed with a nominal amount of milk chocolate.

EXCERPT 3:
"This can't happen,
Emily."
The disbelief on her face pours
through into her voice. "Why?"
Why indeed?
All of those reasons that were
sparking through my brain are lost. I know I had sound logic not just ten
seconds ago, but I can't grasp it right now.
"Because...we're
not...compatible."
She stuns me when she laughs,
genuine delight showing in her eyes. "Oh, we're compatible. Your working
parts and mine were in perfect alignment just a few seconds ago."
Damn, that is hot!
She's clearly saying that wasn't
just a kiss. She's saying she was imagining those multiple orgasms just the way
I was. I almost lunge at her to pull her back in my arms, but I have a shocking
moment of clarity.
I shake my head at her. "Our
parts are definitely compatible, Em. But that's all it would be. It would never
be anything but a fuck."
I expect those words to hurt
her...to enrage her...to make her realize that Nix Caldwell is the world's
biggest asshole. I hope those words cause her to go running from my house in
tears.
Instead, she says,
"So?"
