The Two Part Dancing Barefoot Series on Scintillating Sunday

“Kiss me,” she whispered against
his mouth.
“No." His hands slid up her arms before cupping the
back of her head.
"I dare you."
"Never."
"I know you want to."
"I don't."
"Now who's the liar?" she
asked, her teeth tugging at his lower lip.
Their mouths met in a kiss that
melted her skin like candle wax, turning them into one being, one entity
consumed by desire. To hell with restraint and regret. She needed this, needed
him, here and now.
From the back cover...
Success comes with a price. On the surface,
Jessica Moriarty appears to have the world at her feet. An architect on the
fast-track to a partnership and moving in all the right social circles, she's
checking off the boxes on her to-do list. But she's living a lie. The 'perfect
life' facade hides a heart filled with regret and a longing for a love she
abandoned.
World-renowned photographer, Jacques Sinclair,
doesn't need much to be happy. As long as he has his cameras, a backpack, and a
good pair of walking shoes, he's content. No matter how far he travels, though,
he can't escape the heartbreak of the one woman who'd been able to bring him to
his knees.
A chance meeting brings Jacques and Jessica
back together. Reunions aren't always happy—sometimes they stir up unwanted
pain and forgotten passion. As they stumble their way back to one another,
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?
What some of the reviews say...
4 stars via Avid Reader
"I
loved this story. It was refreshingly honest, brutally tragic, and at
times lyrical in it's flow. Their connection was so intense that as I read it,
I was like this absolutely cannot survive. Love this intense and in your face
has a slow burn to it, and will torch everything in i's path until it is
stamped out...There was nothing contrived about it. I felt like I was literally
a fly on the wall and this was happening in reality and not fiction land. I
liked them both, probably one of the best couples I have ever read."

"Conflicting emotions and insurmountable
chemistry cause both of them to reassess the past, their current lives and
priorities. Easton shows the magnetic and hypnotic effect of physical and
emotional attraction very well and the gradual crumbling of outer facades and
deep inner resolve. This is a romantic fantasy written in a convincing and
heart warming manner and with enough complications thrown in to make for a very
entertaining and gripping read."
