Excerpt:
First Date
Rhane looked at her like she was nuts. “You just
met me. What makes you think I’ll let you take my truck?”
Moving toward him, Kali rested one palm against his
cheek. His eyes were translucent in the sunlight, two seas of emerald bordered
with flecks of amber. She leaned in close, wanting to drown in them and nearly
did so. Her lips brushed softly against his as she spoke. “You won’t refuse
me.” She felt him tremble.
A long moment passed. “I think you’re right,” he
finally said, and held up a key.
Snagging it, Kali smiled gratefully. Then she
walked away, throwing her hips deliberately because she knew he watched her.
“Don’t worry,” she called to him. “I promise to thank you later.”
Placing one foot on the runner, she hauled herself
into the truck. The dark grey leather molded to her form as sank into it. Kali
sighed, remembering how Rhane’s lips and hands felt against her body. She
wriggled in the seat.
“You might need this, Kalista.”
Startled, Kali jumped about four inches. She
adjusted the shoulder belt in an attempt to hide her embarrassment. Her cheeks
were flaming, but she found the nerve to look at him. Rhane was holding her
purse.
“Oops, I almost forgot. Thanks.” She took the bag
and started the truck. The engine came to life with a purr, and the time
displayed on the clock. Six a.m. was approaching fast. She was already
ridiculously late. A few more minutes wouldn’t hurt. Besides, Kali was curious
about him. Such a nice suit had to mean Rhane had been headed somewhere. And it
certainly wasn’t to deliver pizzas.
“Will you be late for work?”
“Not really, it was a business meeting.”
“Will you make it?”
He shrugged. “It’s via satellite and can’t happen
without me. I’ll reschedule.”
She nodded, wanting to know more but lacking the
time to pry. She put the gear in drive but kept a foot on the brake. “How did
you fix Greg’s car so fast?”
“I know a guy,” he answered vaguely. “And I threw a
lot of money at him.”
“You loaded or something?”
“You could say so.”
“I really wish I had more time to finish this
conversation.”
He scratched his head. “I’m glad you don’t,” he
said and smiled.
Kali grinned back and was about to go, but stopped
again. Her smile faded. “Rhane?”
“Yeah?”
“I usually don’t do this. Go around kissing strange
men I’ve just met.” They’re usually teenage boys, she amended silently.
His expression was unreadable. “I surely hope not.”
He leaned into the window. “Are you free tonight?”
“Can’t wait for that thank you?”
He winked. “That, and I’d like my nice, shiny and
new truck back.”
“Then it’s a date.” With an earsplitting grin
pasted across her face, she pulled out into traffic. Looking into the rearview
mirror, she noticed Rhane watching her until he was a tiny dot in the distance.
BLURB:

romance, betrayal, and heartbreaking secrets between Kali, a girl who largely
