EXCERPT:

“How I missed you.”

His chest burned, and his lungs filled with

her perfume and the scent of her skin.

“Oh, Luc.” Olivia raised her head and took a deep breath. The luminescent aqua of her eyes held him enthralled, but he wouldn’t rush and risk losing her when he’d just found her again. Whispering French endearments against her hair, he waited for a hint of an invitation.

Years of frustrating loneliness flipped through his mind as he mentally urged her to come to him, to relax in his arms. She clasped her fingers around his nape and he claimed her mouth in a searing kiss, the kiss he’d given her a thousand times in his fantasies. Parting her lips, his tongue explored and played and tasted as he molded her lithe form against him.

How he wanted her. She moaned and clung to his neck, returning his kiss with the same passion that had set him on fire in the past. He was home now, with Olivia in his arms. There was hope for them.

His lips glided along her cheek, and he tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. “I am so glad you invited me. I will protect you and Melissa. Everything will be fine. I will help you get rid of your fears. I promise.” Things would work out, and in time, they would inform Melissa of the truth about her father.

For a crazy moment, Olivia tried to believe him, to imagine she could spend the rest of her life in his arms and make up for the time wasted away from him for her daughter’s sake… Now Melissa was sixteen, soon to have her own life.

Olivia touched her swollen lips, hesitating. Kiss him. You’ll talk later. But she wouldn’t lie now. No matter what it cost, she couldn’t let him build dreams based on a lie.
