BLURB:
Forty-four year old Julie Weston has loved Timmy and James since her college days twenty something years ago. She's fantasized about both all these long years, never able to choose between them.
Hoping Tim and James will attend, she attends their college marching band reunion. When both men show up her dreams are answered. They're sexier than she imagined and she hopes they won't be disappointed by her older self.
It turns out both men came just to see her again and neither is happy about the other’s presence. They fight over her, confusing her more than ever. It takes a hot ménage…or two…for her heart to decide which one she’s in love with.
EXCERPT:
“I’m
so hungry—for you.” Tim twisted her hair in his fingers and pressed his lips to
her forehead. “And I’m so hot, if you know what I mean.”
“Me
too.” She was glad for her buzz, for the courage it provided. She longed to
kiss him, wondered why he hadn’t kissed her yet.
“Let’s
ditch dinner and…”
A
shadow fell between them and James grabbed her away from Tim. “I’m breaking in.
You’ve monopolized her all night.”
“But
you don’t dance. You don’t like disco,” she blurted, surprised but thrilled.
“I
do now. If it’s the only way I get my turn to see you, I’ll dance all night.
I’m tired of waiting for you at the table.” James tugged her into his arms,
ignoring Tim’s deathly glare.
“One
dance, then I’m coming back.” Tim stalked away and grabbed a drink, which he
downed in one gulp.
James’
warmth replaced Tim’s.
“Thank
you.” She wiggled beside James hoping she could make him as hot as she’d made
Tim.
“For
rescuing you from Tim? You didn’t look as though you wanted rescuing.” James
held her close but his nostrils flared and his eyes narrowed to mere slits.
“Not
for tonight. For all those years ago you told him off for abandoning me. I wish
I’d known. I also wish I’d done this.” Before she could lose her nerve, she
pressed her lips to his.
He
pulled back and gazed into her eyes, suspicion in his. “Are you drunk?”
Hurt
and embarrassed she held up one finger. “I only had one drink. And I kissed you
because I’ve wanted to do so for many years and I don’t want to let you go
again without you knowing that, without knowing what it feels like.”
A
low growl rumbled from James. Desire lit his eyes. Purpose firmed his lips.
Without another word, he lowered his head and kissed her deeply, thoroughly.
He
tasted so good, like steak and Cabernet and she couldn’t get enough. Her legs
rubbery, about to give out on her, she clung to him. Her heart seemed to swell
to triple its normal size. James’ was robust and passionate and full of pent-up
longing.
“You
wanted to kiss me too, all those years ago,” she muttered, touching his lips.
It wasn’t a question. He tasted too good, was too mesmerizing to move away from.
“Yes.”
The answer was long, drawn out and breathy. Full of emotion.
“Why
didn’t we?”
