BlurbTormented, fierce, and broken, sculptor Aidan Murphy has judged himself guilty. He yearns for love but pushes everyone away. He longs for acceptance but has lost the key to open his heart. Until he meets Summer Williams. Beautiful and smart, Dr. Williams promises haven for a man who believes he deserves none. All he has to do is let her in and risk his heart and soul.
Summer’s managed to keep her inner light alive, even through tragedy. She’s created a new life for herself and her daughter in Crescent Creek with loving, caring and fun friends–well, except brooding, breathtaking Aidan. She’s used to keeping away from his type, though. All she has to do is ignore the pull of a man who’s turning up to be much more than snarls and storms. Will her compassion and medical instincts let her?
Love can heal a broken soul and shake up a timid heart. Or it can unleash devastation and revenge.
Will Aidan and Summer survive the hurricane?
Excerpt
Aidan knew her smell already, but not like this, not with the frightening freedom of the truth surrounding them in a cocoon. Bare and vulnerable, his soul dared to hope.
Slowly, so he wouldn’t miss the catch in her breath, he pulled her into his arms, every inch of her small body up against his. As reaction, her arms wound around his neck.
His palms traveled down the sweet curve of her back, and she arched like a cat under his touch. He kept going until he cupped her butt and pressed her into him. “Perfection,” he growled, while his lips grazed at her neck. “I dreamed about your body since the first time I saw you in your pink bikini.”
“My–really?”
“You’ve no idea.”
“I never–”
“You’re thinking, a ghrá. Don’t.”
“It’s very hard–”
“So hard it’s killing me.”
In his arms she stilled. In the weak light, her eyes were huge. “I didn’t mean, you know, it. You know? The, um, penis.”
The chuckle sounded strangled. Lord, she was one in a million. “I got that much.”
“Then why–you’re teasing me.”
“Aye.”
“Why? We’re supposed to get frisky and hot and sweaty, not belly laugh.”
“I don’t care what we’re supposed to do. I care about you, and you need to relax.”
“Yeah. Yes. It’s just that I am…. You are…” She sighed. “I’m a disaster.”
“You’re beautiful.” He kissed her temple. “And smart.” He bit her lower lip. “I’m the luckiest bastard living on earth for having you in my arms. But your brain needs to shut off.”
She squealed in surprise as he swept her in his arms. “What are you doing?”
“Taking you to bed.”
“Oh.”
Aidan laid her on the mattress, took a pillow and pulled it out from its case.
“I understand I’m asking this question a lot,” she pointed at the naked pillow he’d discarded. “What are you doing?”
“Blindfolding you.”
“Oh, okay–wait, what? Listen, buddy–”
“Buddy?”
“Yes. Uh-uh, don’t come any closer for a second. You’re wild, and I had an inkling tonight was going to be a lot… fiercer than anything my imagination ever came up with, but I’m not really into freaky stuff. I am not going to be whipped or anything, and I am not going to spill hot wax over your genitals.”
“Dear God, woman, how–”
Her palm in the air stopped him. “ER. You see stuff. Really not my thing. I’m sorry.”
With a pillowcase in one hand, Aidan waited for an extra bit, then did nothing to stop the laughter and doubled over. “You’re the best, Doctor Summer,” he said as he leaned in front of her to secure the pillowcase on her eyes.
She grabbed his hands. “Did you hear me?”
“Yes, a ghrá.”
“And?”
“And you really need to relax. You can’t do it if you keep those big eyes open. Let me put this on and trust me.”
“Nothing weird?”
“Not unless you ask me to.”
“Promise?”
“On my Irish heart.
“That’s a big deal. Okay. Give the pillowcase to me, I’ll put it on.”
The sight of Summer, fashioning a mask from the piece of cotton and secure it on her eyes won the prize for the most erotic thing he’d ever experienced, but she was still a bundle of nerves. Just like he did with rocks, he would make it his job to free the Summer hiding inside.
If it killed him.

Beach bum and country music
addicted, Viviana lives in a small Floridian town with her husband and her son,
her die-hard fans and personal cheer squad. She spends her days between typing
on her beloved keyboard, playing in the pool with her boy, and eating whatever
her husband puts on her plate (the guy is that good, and she really loves eating).
Besides beaching, she enjoys long walks, horse-riding, hiking, and pretty much
whatever she can do outside with her family.
