Genre: Erotica Romance
It's been two months since Allegra walked out of Devlin's hotel room. Well, two months and five days, but she's not counting. She needs to move on, but before she can, Devlin shows up again...as her new coworker.
Seeing him at work every day is enough to make her lose her mind. Allegra tries to stay away from Devlin, knowing the effect he has on her, but she can't. The more she's around him, the more she's tempted to have something more with him. After everything that's happened in the past, it's a slippery slope that may land her in a place she never wants to revisit. Something is happening to her heart, though. A longing is building up that isn't one-sided...and doesn't feel temporary.
He wants her. She wants a forever. Is it possible to have it all?
*Longing is a full-length erotica novel, and the sequel to Resist*

I expect him to leave, but he continues standing in front of me. That panty-dropping cologne enters my nostrils again and I can't move. “Um, I need to...work...stuff.”
“I don't want to walk away just yet.”
What does he mean by that? My breath catches in my throat. “What are we doing?” I whisper.
He tilts his head. “Whatever you want.” His fingers graze across the edge of my jaw.
Focus, Allegra. “I...uh...” I heave a heavy sigh. “Look—we had a great night together. But that's all it was—it's what we agreed to.” A one-night stand is a one-night stand for a reason. This reason right in front of me.
“I promised you one night of passion. I didn't promise that it would be the last.”
“I never said I wanted more than that.”
He comes closer, our breaths now mingling. “Your reaction to me begs to differ.”
“Just because you can turn me on doesn't mean I want you.”
His lips quirk into a smile and he whispers into my ear, “I think that's the definition of want, princess.”
This is bad. He's twisting up my insides in several different ways. It's okay to let go once, but not twice. He's not the one. I can't give in to the temptation again without the threat of opening what I call the vault—my Pandora's Box of heartbreak. I can't think about the fact that I want to run my fingers through his soft brown hair, pulling him down closer to my face as he...
I push him away with one palm flat on his chest. He willingly steps back. “I have to get to work,” I tell him, straightening up.
“Very well. As you were.” He gives me one final glance, and then walks off.
Well, I know now that he's still interested. What I don't know is if I'm the reason he came here. It's only a matter of time before he reveals the truth to me. I just have to hope I can keep it in my pants in the meantime.
Lilly Avalon is the author of the erotic romances Here All Along and Resist, and the upcoming novella More Than Words.
She's somewhere in the midst of her twenties and lives mostly in the stories in her head. When she's not enveloped in the worlds she creates, she's out in the real world making stories happen. That or reading other romances. It's a toss-up.

Mi se pare cunoscută cartea cu tot cu copertă. Am văzut-o pe Goodreads, oare?
Habar nu am. E aşa familiară şi e îngrozitor de frustrant să nu-mi amintesc de unde o ştiu.
Cred ca cartile astea sunt iarasi erotice :))
Da, Alexandra, este. :))
Scrie chiar pe al doilea rand, bolduit ca e erotica.
Una peste alta, prea putine carti din acest gen reusesc sa ma impresioneze, asa ca o sa spun pas. va recomand Cou termeasure de Chris Almeida si Cecilia Aubrey. E thriller cu cateva scene erotice, genial scrisa.
Pai daca au vazut ce bine a prins la public Fifty Shades, acum majoritatea autorilor vor sa mearga pe aceasta panta. Ce nu-si dau seama e ca nu toti au acelasi succes. Dar oricum trebuie sa le acordam tuturor o sansa, cine stie, poate vom fi surprinsi placut!
Thanks to everyone involved in this giveaway, including the bloggers. Thanks so much!
intre unele persone chiar exista o chimie puternica, multe carti despe one night stand tansformate in forever
