Book Description
Jordan
Steele’s life began when he was ten. When he was taken from his parents and a
house that was never a home. When he met his brothers, the other lost and
abandoned boys in his group home. When he learned what friendship and family
and love looked like.
Now he’s
made good, touring the world with the band he and his brothers formed in that
crowded group home. No one but his found family really knows the man under the
fame and fortune, the scars he hides behind the rockstar lifestyle. Until he
sees her through the windows of the National Ballet, dancing, and suddenly the
world doesn’t seem so dark.

never been good enough for anyone. Can he figure out how to face his own demons
before he loses his light for good?

EXCERPT:
Lexi couldn't
believe what was happening. One minute he’d been about to tell her to leave,
and the next his lips were on hers, driving her crazy. There was nothing soft
or gentle about the way he pressed his mouth to hers, but as he ran his tongue
along the seam of her lips, she was more than willing to open them and let him
in. She teased him by running the tip of her tongue along his. Her heart
thudded painfully in her chest as they kissed each other furiously.
He did want her. Even though his words
didn’t say it, and his attempts to get her to leave were in complete contrast
to it, the need for her was there. It gave her something to work with.
It gave her hope.
Jordan slid his
hand around the back of her neck and gripped her tightly to him. It was rough,
but glorious. Unrestrained and consuming. Raw.
She opened her eyes
and found Jordan watching her. "Close your eyes, Lexi, please," he
moaned against her lips. But she couldn't. She needed to see him. Needed to know
that he was in this moment as deeply as she was.
Without thought,
she ran her hand down Jordan's chest, feeling the undulation of his abs. Jordan
gripped her hand. "Don't touch me, Lex. Let me touch you. But please.
Close your eyes."
"No,"
Lexi said, and using all her dancer's strength, she pushed Jordan back against
the sofa so she could sit across him. Her dress rose up her thighs, yet she
didn't have it in her to care. "Please, let me be with you, Jordan. No
rules," she said, leaning forward to kiss the scar behind his ear. Jordan
shivered at her touch. "Don't make me look away," she whispered
against his skin as she kissed his neck. "I want to see you. To know it's
you I'm with. To know you know it's me."
