AFTER I FALL

Her entire life has been a lie. Being with Eli is the most honest thing sheā€™s ever done.Ā 

Parker Hauser lives the perfect life and knows exactly where sheā€™s been and where sheā€™s going. Parker has to be perfect. Perfect grades, perfect body, perfect life.Ā

One chance encounter stokes her desire for the man who refused to touch her and left her questioning everything.Ā 

When Parker tries to help his new business, the spotlight turns on Eliā€™s military record. And sins from the war heā€™s tried to forget may come back to destroy them both

NEW TEASER:Ā 

PARKER

I needed to get out of my apartment and away from the creeping sadness that threatened to drown me if I stayed alone one more minute.

Tomorrow, I will find the owner of The Pint. Tomorrow I will figure out how to unfuck my life.

But right now, Iā€™m standing in a closed-in space with a man who looks like a real-life rendition of Jason Momoa, and my panties are currently hosting their own episode of Celebration at the idea of standing just a little bit closer. I should be at the Baywater Country Club drinking top-shelf martinis and celebrating with Kylie and Bethany and Meaghan. But I canā€™t see them tonight. For more than the obvious reasons.

I was planning on drinking myself stupid and forgetting everything about the last twenty-four hours in the human garbage fire that my life has become. It hurts and goddamn it, Iā€™m tired of it hurting. Iā€™m tired of being there for everyone else while I have to smile and look pretty.

Tonight? I thought I wanted the raw pulsing music and the bodies crushed together. I thought I wanted the contact. The distraction.

Donā€™t make a fuss, Parker. Donā€™t say anything to embarrass me, Parker.

What did you do to deserve it, Parker? Why didnā€™t you just do what he asked? Why do you always have to argue?

Anger crawls up my spine and squeezes my throat once more.

For once in my fucking life, I want someone to look at me and see me. Not my fatherā€™s car, or my not-allowed-to-be-ex-boyfriendā€™s tailored suits.

I want someone to see me. All of me.

I donā€™t know what I wanted when I left the apartment, but I think I may have just found it.

And the man standing next to me with the dark beard and dark eyes and terrifying tattoos seems like just the guy to take care of everything for a night.

Except that he might be a little too perceptive. I didnā€™t plan on him seeing the bruises on my arm. Guess I need to rethink that career as a makeup artist if my graduate school plans donā€™t work out.

Heā€™s still watching me, a dark intensity in his eyes. An intensity that feels like a brushstroke over my skin.

I wonder what it would feel like to wake up wrapped in those massive arms, to feel those hands run over my skin while I sleep. What it feels like to be really touched instead of just positioned to receive.

My eyes burn, and I blink rapidly. I will not cry about the dumpster fire of my life and the garbage that surrounds me. I didnā€™t set out to solve anything tonight. I came out to escape. To try and find some release from the trapped air in my apartment.

Instead I think Iā€™ve found a solution in search of a problem.

The Solution is a big man. Rough, too. The kind of man I would expect my father would call to lead the construction on a new project.

Itā€™s his hands, though, that capture my attention. Big and flat and broad. Theyā€™re a working manā€™s hands. Not polished. Not cupped in anger.

Just matter-of-fact hands. Hands that would be honest.

Hands that would feel like heaven on my skin.

I look up to find him watching me. Iā€™ve never physically felt a look before this moment, this lazy caress of a manā€™s gaze moving inch by inch over my skin.

I part my lips. Just enough that he notices. His nostrils flare.

ā€œCareful, little girl.ā€ His voice is thick and deep and smooth. Like the gaze still trailing over my body.

ā€œOr what?ā€ I whisper. Kelseyā€™s voice slides through my brain.

This is foolish. Utterly stupid.

This is power.

And it is exactly what I need tonight. I need to feel needed. Wanted.

Tonight isnā€™t about rational thought. Itā€™s about the opposite. About going in blind, completely on instinct.

ā€œIā€™m not sure you want to find out.ā€

But he has not moved away. He hasnā€™t turned his back on me, and he hasnā€™t dismissed me as some childish twat playing grownup.

God, but those words burn in my ears.

ā€œMaybe I do.ā€

The muscles in his neck bunch beneath the thick beard. ā€œDo you always hit on random men at bars?ā€

I press my lips together and dare to take a single step closer. ā€œNope. Youā€™d be my first.ā€

He lifts one brow. ā€œOh yeah? Whatā€™s the occasion?ā€ He jerks his chin toward me. ā€œIt doesnā€™t have to do with the bruises, does it?ā€

I lift my glass to my lips. Slowly I part them, letting the ice cube bounce off the tip of my tongue. When I lower it, his eyes are locked on my mouth. ā€œNo,ā€ I whisper. ā€œItā€™s got nothing to do with them.ā€

Nothing and everything. But he doesnā€™t need to know that. He only needs to take me some place and touch me.

Parker.

Me. I need him to see me.

He moves in then with a quickness that catches me off guard. In an instant, he is right there, right in my space. I can smell the faint, smoky scent of him. Something woodsy and spicy and smoky.

Itā€™s all I can do to stay still. To not back down from the challenge he presents in that single breath of space.

ā€œWhat do you want?ā€ His is a murmured question that feels like a demand.

The single word I need is lodged in my throat. Itā€™s thick and heavy, filled with potential and promise.

ā€œYou,ā€ I finally say.
