ALWAYS YOU by Denise Grover Swank (November 28, 2017; Forever Mass Market Paperback; $7.99; Bachelor Brotherhood Book 3)
"Swank's fluffy, feel-good
storytelling proclaims the primacy of love as a force to which everyone
should surrender-the bachelors destined to star in future installments
haven't got a chance." --- Publishers Weekly (starred
review) on Only You
First love is better the second time around.
Matt Osborn had no idea coaching his
five-year-old nephew's soccer team would get him so much attention from
the mothers-attention he doesn't want now that he's given up on love
and having a family of his own. Yep, Matt's
the last of his bachelor buddies, and plans on staying that way. That
is, until he finds himself face-to-face with the woman who broke his
heart.
Single mom Anna paused her life in
England to help her father recover from an illness. She can't afford
complications, and too-hot-for-his-own-good Matt Osborn-her almost
former fiancé-is definitely a complication. He's a
reminder of what might have been-or should have been. That irresistible
pull between them isn't over. Not even close. But if she's not careful,
she'll break both their hearts . . . again.
“We can work around it.”
She should turn him down. She knew she should,
so why was she saying, “Okay.”
He smiled, looking more like good-natured Coach
Matt and not Alpha Male Matt, the man she’d gotten to know well in
her bed twelve years ago.
Damned if she didn’t want Alpha Matt.
He was less than two feet from her, watching
her with an intensity that suggested he knew he was making her squirm
and loving every minute of it.
“Great,” Matt said, as though he hadn’t
made the air temperature rise twenty degrees just from the timbre of
his voice. “If you want, Toby can stay with us when you go to your
appointment, and then we’ll all go after you’re done.”
“Yeah.” It was a great plan, but standing
this close to him made her nervous. She didn’t trust herself to
walk out the door without doing something foolish, like kiss him,
because right now that seemed like a real possibility. “I should
go.” She took a step back and lost her footing.
Matt reached for her, snaking an arm around her
back and pulling her upright against him.
Anna sucked in a breath at the contact. Her
hands rested on his chest, and she realized it was just as solid as
she’d remembered. Shivers ran up her arms and she found herself
molding her body to his.
His hand stayed in place on her back, pulling
her even closer.
She knew she should back away, but she wanted
this, wanted him, and that was dangerous. She was a mother now. Her
son had to come first.
“I can’t stay, Matt,” she said again,
feeling like a broken record, but she had to make sure he didn’t
feel deceived by her again. He deserved full honesty. “I have to
think about Toby. I can’t hurt him.”
He looked surprised. “Anna, I would never
willingly hurt Toby.”
“But this…us…if we do this…” Did she
confess her son’s deepest desire for a father to love him and her
worry that this would only confuse him? Was it her secret to tell? “I
have to think about Toby. And Ethan.”
“We’re not going to hurt them, Anna.”
“We might. If we get too close.” I might
get hurt if we get too close.
Too late for that…
He kept his hand on her back, and lifted the
other to the side of her neck. He didn’t answer, at least not with
words. He lowered his face, his lips gently brushing hers.
Her breath caught. His touch was like a jolt of
electricity to her heart, bringing her back to life.
