Dancing Barefoot on Scintillating Sunday
Excerpt of Dancing Barefoot...

"Now
is all that matters." He exhaled slowly. "We're covering a lot of bases for a first date the second time around--going at breakneck speeds that feel both wrong and right at the same time. I think we're
breaking the rules."
"I
am so tired of playing by the rules." She didn't want to sit here talking
anymore. She wanted to take him home, lead him to her bedroom, and make love
slowly all night long until her body was limp with orgasmic satisfaction.
"Spend the night with me."
She
held her breath while he took his time contemplating the idea. Her heartbeat
ricocheted inside her chest, pulsated in her throat, and echoed in her
ears while she studied the way he toyed with the label on his beer bottle and avoided looking at her. Take a chance, Jacques, she pleaded silently as she waited as if perched on the edge of a cliff, ready to fly if only given the signal to leap.
"Jacques
and Jessica together again? What would that be like?" He smiled without
looking at her.
She'd
forgotten that he was a unique combination of shy and bold, depending on the
situation. She caught her lower lip between her teeth, crossed her fingers
beneath the table, and stared at him until he looked up and met her gaze.
"All
in."
"All
in it is then." He brushed his mouth against hers,
gaze never breaking from hers. "This could get messy, this could get really damn messy, don't give up on me this time. Promise me."
From the back cover...
Naked photographs plastered on a book cover remind Jessica
Moriarty that the past isn't as dead as she'd assumed. Her carefully
constructed life as an architect on the fast track to partnership is threatened
by a love she'd abandoned five years ago when responsibilities had trumped
dreams.
World-renowned photographer, Jacques Sinclair, could have
chosen anywhere in the world for his book signing and photography exhibit, but
he'd come to Boston to shake things up. He wanted answers, but they aren't what
he expected.
Reunions aren't always happy—sometimes they stir up unwanted
pain and forgotten passion. As Jacques and Jessica stumble their way back to
one another for a second chance at love, they're ensnared in a web of
conspiracy, manipulation, and sabotage designed to keep them apart. Will they
be able to break free of the ties that bind them to seize the love of a
lifetime? Or will the pressure to conform rip them apart forever?
**This is the conclusion of the two part Dancing Barefoot
series and can be read as a stand-alone. However, to get the full impact of the
love story, the author recommends reading book one, In Between.**
