Shaking her head free from her thoughts, she knew exactly what she needed to do. “Do you even remember my name?” His eyes darted away, so Gabrielle stepped into him. Startled eyes looked down at her. “It’s okay. Let’s chalk it up to being too loud inside.”
Relief softened his face, and she couldn’t help but admire how handsome he was. Gabrielle cupped his face and brought it to hers. Their lips softly pressed against each other’s, testing the sensation, memorizing the feel.
The door opened again, and she hid her face in his body. When the street quieted, she peeked around him.
“Come on.” She slipped her hand into his larger one and pulled him toward the side of the building, away from intruding eyes and nosey family.
Silence cocooned them, and shadows hid their secrets. His handsome eyes watched her, waiting to see what she would do next.
Gabrielle stepped into him, his heat warming the front of her body. “Kiss me,” she demanded, her eyes drawn to his full lips.
His large hands cupped her face, tipping it up before taking her lips in a slow kiss. A fire ignited in her belly the moment his tongue swept inside her mouth. Gabrielle rolled to her toes and locked her fingers behind his neck.
One of his arms banded around her waist, pulling her tightly against him. Her breasts strained against the dress and his erection pressed against her belly. The kiss was wild, stealing her breath and all thoughts straight from her mind. She tipped her head back, searching to fill her lungs with the oxygen it needed.
He moved his mouth down the column of her neck, stopping at the tops of her breasts. His sigh tickled her sensitive skin, and he peppered more kisses along the side of her neck and shoulder.
She’d never had a one-night stand. Gabrielle may have enjoyed no-strings-attached sex, but she’d been careful in choosing her partners. At this moment though, she quit thinking things through.
Andrew’s free hand cupped her ass, pulling her up and into his hard dick. She needed desperately to kiss him, and since he was occupied with sending bolts of desire down between her legs, she settled on his neck. Breathing him in, she sighed before flicking out her tongue and tasting him.
They made out like overeager teenagers in the dark, away from prying eyes, his fingers kneading into her hips and ass. Hers dug into his scalp as she sucked on a sweet spot on his neck. His touch and kisses added to her tipsy state.
“More…” she whimpered, warmth spreading across her cheeks at her wanton behavior.
Andrew lowered the zipper at her back enough to free her breasts. The cool air sent goose bumps along her fevered flesh.
“Wow.” He sighed and flicked his tongue against one nipple then the next. “Beautiful, absolutely beautiful,” he murmured against her skin before sucking a nipple into his warm mouth.
Summer has been crazy for my family and I know it’s been nuts for everyone else. That’s why opening up my email and finding this review posted is making my day! It’s always fun to see how others react to the stories I’ve crafted. I know why I love them, but hearing why others love them makes all the stress and worry behind each book worth it! Thank you Astronima’s on Pointe Reviews and Proofreading for taking a chance on my stories!
AJ is an author that I’m happy I found. I try to snatch a few extra minutes to read her stories. This one, I stayed up to finish. Now I only have one more to read of hers and I’ll be caught up! Maybe another sleepless night is in order haha.
JJ and Rocco are two characters we’ve met before in AJ’s St. Fleur series. This can be read as a stand-alone and you won’t be lost. That said, I definitely recommend reading them all.
Rocco is the mysterious mechanic. He doesn’t talk about his personal life. A chance mistake will make it so he doesn’t have the option. Especially when JJ is the one asking questions. Rocco gets a shot at winning the heart of JJ and he won’t let go this time. His plans include forever. Rocco struck me as a proud man and protector. When his sister…

Love was in the air and Gabrielle wasn’t interested. Even if she was willing to risk her heart again, which she wasn’t, any man would have to get past her overbearing brother first.

Their encounter was meant to be no-strings fun, but months later, Gabrielle couldn’t get him out of her mind. Andrew regretted never getting her name or number, leaving them both with only memories and unanswered desires.
An unexpected reunion brought the couple to St. Fleur, where trouble had been stirring for their friends and family. Can Andrew persuade Gabrielle to take a risk on a playboy? Or will tragedy jeopardize their chance at love?

〣 ABOUT THE BOOK 〣
Rocco St. Martin stuns the people of St. Fleur when he shows up at Whiskey’s Pub with a black eye. The whispers only become worse when he’s spotted in handcuffs, exiting Deputy Sheriff JJ’s cruiser.
JJ is left with more questions than answers after Rocco refuses to say what happened. Since the stubborn man won’t take her help, she has to resort to keeping a closer eye on him.
When the details of his injuries come to light, will Rocco finally accept her help? Or will he be yet another man who doesn’t understand what it takes to be with a cop?
〣 EXCERPT 〣
“You’re staring,” she told him.
Rocco shrugged. “How are you?”
“I’m good.” She tilted her head. “What’s going on?”
“Why does anything have to be going on?” he asked, curious to see if she’d admonish him. When a smile tipped the corner of her mouth, Rocco smirked.
JJ lifted her glass and drank. Rocco watched the column of her neck as she swallowed and imagined kissing his way down all that fair skin. He shifted in his seat, placing his ankle on his knee to see if that would ease the pressure forming in his pants.
“Well, for one, you’ve never sat with me for a meal,” JJ said as she put the glass on the table.
Rocco nodded. “True, and you’ve never felt the need to drive by the garage ten times a day.”
A blush covered her cheeks and swept down her neck. The color only highlighted her beauty and made his mind consider other ways he could make her turn that red. He was a rat bastard. He shouldn’t have embarrassed her like that. “I’m sorry.”
She shrugged. “Don’t be. It’s true. I’ve been worried about you.” The words came out whisper soft and he almost missed them.
The waitress returned with his food, and he sat forward. “Why?”
“Why what?”
“Why are you worried about me?” Her concern touched him, and he had to stop himself from rubbing his chest. Rocco was the oldest child. He wasn’t accustomed to others worrying about him—ever.
JJ placed her fork down. “Rocco, there’s obviously something going on with you. If you need—”
“Ah,” he said, pushing down his disappointment. “That’s all this is about.”
They stared at each other a moment before she said, “Ye—no… no, it’s not.”
Rocco raised an eyebrow. “No?”
Before JJ could say anything, her phone on the table rang. She looked from the caller to Rocco and sighed. “Sorry,” she said before answering the call. “Jolie. —Hey, what’s going on? —Oh, okay. Sure, I can be there.” Her eyes darted toward Rocco and away.
Rocco took another bite of his burger and listened as the conversation went on for another minute.
“Sorry about that,” she told him after ending the call.
“Everything okay?”
JJ raised an eyebrow. “Why, Rocco, I might think you’re worried about me.”
“Would that be so bad?”
The teasing expression on her face softened. “No. That could be nice.”
“Oh yeah?” he asked, unable to stop his chest from puffing out some.
JJ laughed, and the sound was feminine and sexy. “Yeah.” She pushed her plate away and dropped some money on the table. “Well, I need to go.” JJ slid out from the booth. “That was my sister, and she needs me to come over.”
“Have dinner with me?” Rocco blurted.
“Yes,” she said at the same time he said, “I mean…”
“Yes?” Rocco asked.
“I’d love to have dinner with you.” JJ winked.
His cheeks pulled back tightly. “Great, how does Friday sound?”
JJ laughed. “Today is Friday.”

Hi everyone! Happy New Year!
I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season! We were able to share the first Christmas in about six years with our loved ones in Florida. The hard part of military life is not always going home when you want to. The trip took us longer than we had planned thanks to the alternator dying (even though it was just replaced this last September.) Luckily, we were able to make it to our families safely albeit very slowly.
New Years Eve, my husband and I were super excited to watch our NFL teams play. I’m a Saints fan and he’s a Buccaneers fan. We lost, but it was a fun game and the crowd was pretty great.
We got home with little problems if you didn’t include a frozen kitchen pipe(that finally thawed within twenty-four hours of being reported) and now our area is under a boil order. This cold weather is no joke! We didn’t even deal with water main breaks in Upstate NY and it was colder there.
Anywho…now I’m back to work and trying to catch up. I’m working on finalizing things for the next story in the St. Fleur series, No Going Back, and then back to working on my paranormal romance.
I joined the Books + Main bites website. You can find my profile here. I’m hoping to post some more clips once I get myself settled into a routine. For now there are about eight bites for you to enjoy.
Hope to see you around! Back to work! 😉
Happy New Year!
