Synopsis
Ex-con, Aaron Masters, is searching for redemption.
Young aspiring photographer, Nina King, is searching for a place to belong. It’s time for the Valentine’s Day Date Auction at the exclusive Boston nightclub St. Andrews, and Aaron would rather be anywhere else. That all changes when he catches a glimpse of Nina, the woman he hasn’t been able to stop thinking about since their recent chance encounter. When they met her smile—for a precious moment—warmed the darkness inside. Now he’ll stop at nothing to make her his woman, keep her, and protect her from the truth of his rough past.
Nina hasn’t been able to get a certain handsome man, with long hair and gorgeous blue eyes, out of her thoughts—or her dreams. The goddess is smiling down on her when she sees him again at a charity date auction. As her professional internship has recently ended, she’s now out of work and trying to find herself while struggling to build a viable career.
Aaron and Nina’s relationship soon heats up, but not everyone in their lives are excited about this new development. Under the guise of friendship, some attempt to destroy what the two have built together.
Can these two lost souls find a future together?

Excerpt
“One
more taste,”
Aaron whispers. Leaning in, he gently cups my face in his hands. He
gives me a gently sucking, nipping kiss that leaves me wanting more,
and my hands gripping his arms are not wanting to let go. Ever.
“Do
you want to go somewhere?” I breathe out. “I’d invite you in,
but I have a roommate.”
“Yes.”
His breath is tickling the hairs around my face as he chuckles.
I
smile brightly releasing him from my hold. I’m craving more of what
I know this man can give me.
Gentle
dominance, and honest affection.
“But
not tonight,” he says, smiling and shaking his head. Then, with his
thumb and forefinger, he takes my chin and admonishes, “Don’t
pout.”
“But—”
“Not
tonight,” he says sternly, then leaning in, he runs his nose along
my neck and whispers, “there’s always tomorrow.”
I
shiver.
“Okay,”
I say softly, though every pulse point in my body is pounding in
anticipation.
There
is no way I’m going to be able to sleep tonight, without taking the
edge off first. At least now I wouldn't feel as
sketchy, like I’m violating him in some way, when I imagine Aaron
as I power up Mr. Satisfaction tonight.
Thank
goodness I remembered to buy batteries today!
“What
time are you done with work tomorrow night?”
Work.
Right, that thing you go to where you earn money. Which, I don’t
exactly have.
Because I'm a loser, who has no real skills and is supported by her
parents.
“I
don’t have to work tomorrow,” I say, suddenly uncomfortable.
“Good,
I’ll pick you up at five when my shift is over. Make sure to dress
warmly. I don’t want you getting cold during your surprise,” he
says, smiling brightly.
“Okay.”
“Goodnight,
Sunshine,” he draws me close, pressing a gentle kiss to my temple.
“Goodnight,”
I say, exiting the truck. Walking towards the building, I turn to see
him watching me. Waiting for me to get inside safely. Underneath that
rough exterior, he really is a gentleman.
