I met Keegan when I was on the beach in Florida.
He literally crashed into my world.
I wasn’t looking for romance, but his two-dimpled charm made my heart go
haywire.
We both had one thing in common: we were here to escape our realities.
One week. Just the two of us. Not a care in the world.
I didn’t know it at the time, but that week would forever change my life.
Four years later, and as fate would have it, Keegan and I are brought together
again.
It’s as if the universe is telling us this is our second chance.
The more I get to know him, the harder I fall.
Falling hopelessly in love is inevitable with a man like him.
Only the joke’s on me, because the guy I’m falling for isn’t the man I thought
he was.
You know how the saying goes: Fool me once...
I’ll be damned if I’m fooled again.

Excerpt
Just as I’m turning
the page in my book, someone yells, “Watch out!” Unsure of where the voice is
coming from, I look to the left and then to the right, but before I can grasp
what’s happening, the circular object hits my hand, and my book flies out of my
grasp and into the water.

coming from, I look to the left and then to the right, but before I can grasp
what’s happening, the circular object hits my hand, and my book flies out of my
grasp and into the water.
“Shit! I’m so
sorry.” A half-naked guy comes running over, sand kicking up around him as his
strong legs pound into the ground. The closer he gets, the more of him I’m able
to see, and holy shit, do I like what I see. Messy brown hair I could picture
running my fingers through, tanned, smooth skin I would enjoy kissing and
licking, and if I’m feeling frisky, biting.

My eyes rake over
his tattooed, sculpted chest and down to his abs. Two-four-sex… I mean six. God
damn! Look at that six-pack. He must work out, probably several times a day.
Damn, I’d love for him to work me out…

As he jogs over, his
corded arm muscles flex, making it appear as if the ink on his arms is coming
alive, and I briefly imagine holding on to those arms while he fucks me good
and hard. He runs past me, and I follow his every move. When he bends over, I
check out his butt that’s hidden under his low-hanging board shorts as I
fantasize about my legs wrapped around his waist and my heels digging into that
butt…

Heights, and I instantly snap out of my lust-filled thoughts.

“Here you go,” he
says sheepishly, the soaking wet book dangling from his fingers. Drops of
saltwater fall down and land on my knee. My eyes meet his, and just as I’m
about to snap at him, the corner of his mouth lifts into a nervous smile, and a
single dimple pops out on his cheek, and once again, I’m momentarily distracted
by just how good-looking he is.

“Thanks so much.” My
reply drips with sarcasm. Taking the book from him, I examine the saturated,
ruined pages, and mumble, “At least it wasn’t my mom’s copy.”

“I’m Keegan.” His

He throws his head
back with the most beautiful laugh I’ve ever heard. It’s raspy and deep and
sexy. My eyes land on his Adam’s apple, and my tongue darts out, wanting to
lick down his throat.

“Fair enough.” He
nods. “I really am sorry about the book.” His gorgeous forest green eyes meet
mine. “Can I do something to make it up to you?”

“Like sleep with

“No.” He shakes his
head. “We’ve already established you’re not interested. Although, I think,
based on the way you were eye-fucking me on my way over here, I could probably
convince you otherwise.”
