dare you."
Those words would change adrenaline junkie, Alice Harrison's life forever. She's a party girl that doesn't believe in love until she meets a man that only writes about it.

Seth
James escaped his overbearing father and moved into one of the James family's
vacant condos, hoping to create the music he loves in peace. But the fragile
calm he's envisioned shatters when a tiny woman with a world full of energy
bounces out of the elevator and nearly takes him out.
With
the patience of a saint, Seth seeks the dark that keeps Alice from enjoying
life. He challenges her to exorcise the demons in her past in order to discover
the true meaning of love. But when the walls fall down, the hidden deceptions
will bare the ugly truth about a woman drowning in sorrow and a man who may not
know how to be her hero.
He
tucks a hand into the waistband of my shorts and drags me into the hall,
pulling my door shut behind me. “Where did you get that?” His gaze lingers on
the small bump decorating my forehead.
I
reach up and touch the sore knot. “Oh, I fell.”
“How?”
He raises his free hand and traces the swelling.
I
don’t even feel the careful prodding. No, my concentration is solely focused on
the fingers tucked inside my shorts and only inches away from becoming way too
familiar with me. “Um…I was doing yoga when you guys came down the hall.”
“And?”
He tugs me closer. His thumb rakes a small path below my belly button.
Oh
my. “Uh…I fell out of…of…my pose and banged my head on the floor.”
His
eyes darken and those beautiful lips part. I want to snake my tongue across the
bottom one to find out if it is as soft as it looks.
He
winces and lowers his eyes to mine. “So this is my fault?”
I
grab onto his wondering hand and pull it free of my shorts. If I didn’t, I’d be
asking him for a wallgasm in less than two minutes. Random teasing and fleeing
was a no go for me now. “No. It was an accident. Lighten up, G.”
“I
don’t want to cause you pain.”
Wow,
that feels like a loaded proclamation. “Okay. Well, keep the noise down and we
should be good.”
He
drops the hand that had been rubbing away my bruise. Funny, I’d totally
forgotten it. “I don’t want to cause you pain. It’s a personal thing.” A deep
shudder races over him, and for some reason, I don’t think he is with me
anymore.
“You
didn’t. I’m fine.” I lift a hand and cup the side of his face, bringing his
gaze to mine. It is the gentlest moment I’ve ever had with a man, and we’ve
just met. “I’m not sure what this is, G., but I think I should go inside.”
