Goodreads / Amazon / Barnes & Noble / iBooks / Kobo -- EXCERPT: He threw the gear in park, cut the engine and opened his door. The cab filled with the sound of cicadas and I glanced around in a panic. Before I could think what to do, my door opened and he undid my seat belt. “Get out.” His features were more austere than in the warehouse. I trembled. “No.” “Not a request.” Viking was alpha, all alpha. He commanded everything but he’d never forced me to do anything. Anxiety licked at my conscience but I swung my legs out of the truck because showing fear was worse than defeat. My feet hit the ground and I looked up at him with every ounce of defiance I had. “Now what?” His shoulders dropped, he leaned toward me and his body language went from tensed restraint to liquid seduction in half a second. “Look up,” he gently commanded. Was this a trick? Was he only pretending to not be mad? Reluctant to take my eyes off him, I glanced at the dark sky. “What about it?” “What do you see?” I swallowed past the tightness in my throat. “Night.” “The moon and stars,” his low, quiet voice corrected. I didn’t like this. Him gentle, making me look at the stars, this wasn’t the man who’d killed to save my life. “So?” Huge, warm fingers wrapped around the back of my neck. “The same moon that was there last night.” He moved closer. “The same stars that will be there tomorrow night.” His body heat curled around me like everything I’d ever wanted and I pushed back. “Is this some kind of proverb?” “Same as the night sky, I was there yesterday and I will be there tomorrow.” My throat closed up, my chest tightened and I fought tears. It was the single most beautiful thing anyone had ever said to me. And it was a complete lie. ![]()
