SYNOPSIS:
Trent Decker’s life was turned upside down when
Alex, his longtime girlfriend, abandoned him and their
newborn son. Trying to
put order back in his chaotic life, he never expects to fall
for his sister’s
best friend, Noelle. When another man seems to be stealing
her heart, the years
of holding his feelings for her inside come out. He lays it
all on the line,
hoping she chooses him. Noelle’s indecisiveness and an
unanticipated visit from
his past, causes him to take a step back and focus on making
things right for
his son, but can he stay
away?
Noelle Grant prides herself on her life being in
perfect order: a great job, great friends and the occasional
fling to satisfy
her needs. When her latest conquest, Jace, crashes into her
life, she believes
he may be the one to keep for more than just a night or two.
That is until
Trent, her best friend’s sexy, little brother, makes his
feelings known and
turns her structured world inside out. Exploring her
feelings for both men adds
complications and when Trent starts to pull away she
believes Jace is what she
needs. But is he what she
wants?
Will Noelle stay with the safer choice or will she risk
everything for the one
who makes her come completely
undone?

EXCERPT:
“You need to move back more. I can only think with my lady
parts if you
are that
close.”
He lets out a full blown laugh but moves back.
“We don’t just have us to think about, Trent. If we get
together and
something happens it can affect my friendship with Erin, my
dinners with your
family, time with Jason and your nieces and nephews. What if
this doesn’t work
out?”
“Noelle, please stop with the ‘what ifs’?” His frustration is
starting
to surface. “Can you honestly tell me that you would regret
it more if we tried
and it didn’t work than if we didn’t see this through at
all?”
“I don’t know and I think that’s what the problem is. I need to
think
this through and figure all that out.” Standing up I grab my
glass of wine and
empty it. “I need to go.”
He follows me towards the door but grabs me just before I reach
it. “You
promise to think about it? Do that entire ‘pro and con’ list
shit that you like
to do? Weigh all the options, Noe, because I have. I would
rather you and I try
it out and promise to stay friends if it doesn’t than the
alternative.”
“I promise to give some serious thought
to this. You know I don’t do
long term and I know you don’t want the short term version
so just let me
think,” I
plead.
“Go on a date with me then. Just one. You gave Jace today, I
deserve the
same don’t I?” He slides his hand down my arm and clasps my
fingers around his.
“Okay. Call me tomorrow and we can make plans.” I agree
standing as high
as my toes will allow and kiss him on the cheek. “Bye,
Trent. We’ll talk
tomorrow.”
“Bye, Noe.” He opens the door and grabbing my face he places
the
gentlest of kisses on my forehead.
Pulling my bag off my shoulder, I dig around for my keys. I
don’t notice
that Jace is outside leaning on his
car.
“You know the window is open?” He calls out pointing towards
Trent’s
house.
I turn around and find the blinds pushed to the side so you can
see
directly into the house.
“Listen, Jace. I know what that might have looked like
but…”
“You don’t have to explain it to me, Noelle. I saw you push him
away.”
He shoves off from his car and meets me in the middle of the
street. “But I
also saw you two kiss and I have to say that hurt. I just
don’t understand why
I feel so territorial over you. I don’t want him touching
you. I should take
you inside my house and erase every touch of
his.”
Looking down I feel guilty. If he only knew how he touched me
earlier in
the night.
“Do you want him?” He asks bringing me out of my
daze.
“I still don’t know,” I say with conviction looking up because
I don’t
have a clue.
“Do you want
me?”
“I don’t know that
either.”
He’s the safer choice. If things don’t work out with Jace, or
he is just
another notch on my long belt full of notches, there is
absolutely no
collateral damage. There is no possibility of losing a
friend or people that I
call family, and I’m attracted to Jace. I normally don’t
feel so connected to
someone right away besides physically but there is something
about him that
makes me want to know him
better.
But I can’t lose
Trent.
There is no denying the sexual chemistry between the two of us,
and I
know that we would be explosive in the bedroom. Deep down
inside I’ve always
wanted something with him but until today I didn’t realize
it was there.
Two weeks ago I was speed dialing Chase for our monthly screw
and today
I’m considering changing my casual sex dating life for one
of two men who are
offering me
more.
With a quick goodbye and a promise to call later this week, I
head home
to try to rid myself of this horrendous headache that has
slowly seeped its way
in. After I pop some medicine and take a bath I pour myself
into bed.
The light from my phone blinks with waiting text
messages.
Erin:
Lucy, you have some ‘splainin’ to do!
Sexy
Jace: Sweet dreams, sweet
thing.
Trent:
Choose
us.
I cry myself to sleep that night knowing that soon I’m going to
have to
break someone’s heart…and it might be my own.
