“The only thing holding me back was my heart. You know, the broken one. It knew if Jake and I got back together we’d make our past relationship look like child’s play. It would be a sweet footnote to this new, torrid love affair. ‘Jake and Eve 2.0’ would be an uncontrolled explosion of sex and adoration.
Uncontrolled explosions were dangerous. Everyone knew that.And yet, I couldn’t seem to stop myself from playing with the matches…” ~Eve

Haunted by a past he had no power to control, Jake left everyone and everything behind in hopes of saving Eve from his demons. His one regret was breaking her heart.From the moment they reconnect, it is clear to Eve the passion, brilliance, and determination that first attracted her to Jake are stronger than ever.

Ones that will test how deep her love runs for a man living with a storm inside.Recommended for ages 17+ due to language and sexual situations.

Jake slammed my back into the wall of the shack, the
boards of the wall bending and flexing from the impact. For a moment I worried we’d punch a hole
right in the side of the building, but then Jake nipped my earlobe at the exact
same moment he flexed his hips into mine, and I forgot everything I was
thinking.
Everything but him.
I didn’t think about the ten years he’d been gone or
how much I hated him. All I could feel
was his hard body pressed up against mine, his rough hands as they desperately
roamed over my skin, and the intensity in his kiss.
We’d always made an explosive combination; that
clearly hadn’t changed. If anything, the
added experience and time apart made what we’d had in the past look sweet and
warm. Because this—what we were doing now—
was off the charts insane. It was brutal
and animalistic in the most fantastic way.
The afternoon thunderstorm was howling outside. It was my favorite time of day, and Jake knew
it. The thing about Florida’s summertime
storms was that you could feel them.
When lightning strikes, the air crackles with electricity moving through
everything around you. The moment it
splits the sky, thunder vibrates so deeply it shakes the earth and every
molecule in your body. You feel it
everywhere.
Thunderstorms are a full body experience from the
light and the vibrations, to the sound of the wind, the pounding of the rain,
and the taste of the humidity in the air.
It’s like Mother Nature is trying to sweep you away
in a symphony of senses. And at the
moment I was swept away by both the storm and by Jake. I was completely lost to everything.
It had always been like this with us. Ten years hadn’t dulled it at all. If anything, the waiting only made it more
intense than ever. [...]
