Fans of a sexy romance will love this little holiday adventure about a second chance at love.
Mark and Holly haven't seen each other since graduation from their ultra-conservative Christian high school fifteen years ago. Since then they’ve both experienced the heartbreak divorce brings. Finding each other again through social media gives them both a much-needed connection.
The fun starts when they decide to take their flirting into the real world. The risk of being caught is worth putting their friendship on the line. Who cares what the church gossips say. They're headed straight to heaven on the road to hell.
Excerpt
God, he still looked amazing. So much better in person than the Snapchat photos. The breeze teased his hair while he walked. I honestly couldn’t remember the last time I was so turned on. He caught me staring and I knew I must’ve been blushing.
"Hey there!" His grin covered his whole face, making his eyes twinkle.
"Hi!" I jumped up from the swing and moved shyly toward him.
I was loving his smile and watching the way he moved as he approached me. I wanted to run and leap into his arms, but that would seem a little too eager. He didn’t even hesitate, as soon as he was close enough, to pull me into his arms for a hug. My arms circled his waist as if we'd held each other that way a million times instead of for the first time.
He leaned back to look at me, a slow smile creeping onto his face, but didn't let go of my arms. I loved the warmth of his hands on my elbows as he smiled down into my face. I couldn’t help but grin foolishly back.
"You're even more beautiful than I remembered," he said, and I felt my cheeks getting warm.
"You're looking pretty good too," I stammered, knowing I must be beet red.
When he finally let go of my arms, it was strange how quickly I found I’d grown used to his touch. I had to hold my hands behind my back to keep from touching him again. I desperately wanted to get him alone. That was when I knew I was in real trouble. I wondered how long it would be until I could taste him. I’d never been that aroused or thought about sex so much before. It was a good thing he couldn't read my thoughts. He’d blush right along with me.
The chiming of a bell clanged through the air, calling the camp to the dining hall for lunch. Walking toward the lodge, I hoped it would look like we happened to meet up on the way over.
“Mark! Watch where you’re walking,” I said, stumbling as he bumped against me.
“Careful,” he said, grinning. “I don’t want to have to carry you.”
He managed to “accidentally” bump up against me a couple more times while we were walking and a few times, his hand brushed against mine. Those sideways glances he kept giving me stoked the fires he’d kindled with that amazing full body hug.
Mark held the door as I walked into the dining room but before I could thank him, Becky grabbed me. She knew I was single and had already told me she wouldn’t let me feel alone. I lost sight of Mark as she pulled me across the room to mingle with some of the other women there. I hoped he didn’t think I'd deserted him.
Absentmindedly, I got my food and sat down to eat at a table with a few other women, juggling conversations I barely followed because all I could think about was Mark. I hoped they couldn’t tell how preoccupied my mind was. I’d been both imagining all the naughty things we could be doing and dreading that he might tell me to forget it.
Now that I'd finally seen him again, touched him and felt him touch me, my body was in a constant heightened state of arousal. I hadn’t been touched by a man I desired in so long my lady parts were practically spouting cobwebs. I wondered if he was feeling even a tenth of the desire I felt. I hid it by joking and laughing with the people around me. I should have been an actress.
