~ SYNOPSIS~
Sarah Langham’s life was the epitome of normal until her dad slept with another woman when she was sixteen. It ripped her family apart.
Twenty-two-year-old Sarah has it together, though.
Waiting at the train station to go home from her first day of her first proper job out of university, she spots a man.
He is an enigma to her. She’s drawn to him, with his square jaw; buzz of hair; and his tall, solid frame, seen under the contours of his business suit. And he’s been looking at her, too. Fate pulls them together that night on a whirlwind date, exceeding anything Sarah’s experienced before. He’s even more into her than she’s into him. Finally, she wants to trust a guy for the first time since she was sixteen.
But then they discover something.
Something that meant they were never two strangers at a train station.
And it threatens to tear their future apart before it, really, ever begins.
~EXCERPT~
The smell of the
man next to her, panting and sweating from obviously running to catch the
train, didn’t matter. Nor did the fact she was standing for a one-hour train
trip in heels. There was little that could matter to her right now—except for
when the train suddenly stopped, and the driver announced a delay.
“We have stopped
to attend to an ill passenger on board,” he said. “I don’t know how long the
wait will be, but it could be up to forty-five minutes due to peak hour traffic
and the patient’s condition. Thank you for your understanding.”
At that time,
Sarah heard a deep, yet smooth voice say, “Lucky I don’t plan on being
anywhere.”
She knew it was
Him before she looked up to meet his eyes. Apart from the fact she was sure it
came from somewhere in front of her, or thereabouts, a voice in her head
associated it with the man she’d almost profiled to full detail.
Looking up, she
saw his face and, for some reason, knowing what his voice sounded like was like
tying up a little bow on top of her perfect package.
“It’s not like I
have to be anywhere,” Sarah agreed.
For a moment,
she matched his gaze, trying to stop from doing anything suggestive. She wanted
to lick her lips as they were dry, and she was sure even a little grin would
crack them. Only an hour ago she’d had gloss on them from her special first day
at work, but now they felt dry and baron.
Oh, how with
every moment she stood here, it got worse. Now her head was itchy. If only she
could sneak up a fingernail to scratch. Just above and behind her ear. Just a
bit. But Sarah couldn’t. Why was a stranger doing this to her?
Sarah held her
place, gazing with as much power as he had. She wouldn’t lick her lips. Or scratch
her head. And now she was a dry, twitching freak.
Stuff it.
She turned a
little, trying to hide her hand, and covered it by fussing with her hair near
her ear, and licked away the cracked feeling from her lips. When she looked up,
the man was shamelessly staring. She knew that look. There was no mistaking
that, for some reason, he was as intrigued by her as she was him.
“Here,” the man
said. He bent and dropped against the railing behind his back, his knees
sticking out at the sides, and his huge legs separated in a way that made Sarah
want to look away but couldn’t. “Sit here. Your feet must be sore.”
That made Sarah self-conscious, made
her unable to move. Had he seen her shoes? Or looked up and down the length of
her? The idea thrilled her.
