Sometimes
love’s a drug. The rush can be so addicting. All that matters is the high. Not
the consequences. Not the damage left in its wake.
Adrian
Robinson was a college football star, with his future all mapped out. He didn’t
expect to fall for feisty Leah Hunter.
Nor did he expect the destruction left in its wake when it all came to
an end.
Now,
Adrian’s a hotel magnate and one of the most eligible bachelors in the world.
He
has it all, except the one woman he has kept in his heart for years. And he’s
willing to do anything to get her back.
Leah
hasn’t seen Adrian since the day she was forced to pick up the pieces of her
broken heart.
When
Leah is assigned to write a piece on him for her magazine, remnants of their
torrid romance still burn like yesterday.
Will
the high be worth it this time? Or is it destined to crash and burn?

Short Excerpt:
Adrian laughed sitting up. “Well,
maybe it’s weird that you haven’t let it go yet, but I have to admit I do
admire that kind of dedication.”
I smiled and got off of his arm to
playfully push him.
“Here you go teasing me again,” I
said sticking out my tongue in a mock manner.
“No teasing. Just stating what I
noticed. That is it. I promise. I don’t want a repeat of earlier.”
My stomach at that moment dropped
and all the fluttering started again. It was as if there was a family of
butterflies were fluttering around in my stomach and I was helpless to stop
them. I didn’t know why, but I did like Adrian more that I had cared to admit.
It was why he got under my skin so much because even though he was the kind of
guy I would normally stay away from.
I played with my fingers trying to
think of a good excuse to have him leave. I need him to get out of my space so
I could think clearly again. Him and I wouldn’t work. I knew that. I knew that
better than he probably did. We were too different from each other and had
different goals. It was all I needed to know and for that reason, we wouldn’t
work out. I needed him to get out of my personal space, and I could go back to
keeping my distance. That was the only way I would be able to do that. If he
stayed away I could keep all these confusing feelings at bay.
“Leah?” Adrian said softly
interrupting my thoughts and I turned towards him.
“Yes?”
“You are probably the most
beautiful girl on this campus. No, you are the most beautiful girl on this
campus and you don’t even know it,” he said.
“What do you mean?”
“You’re just you. I like you. The
real you underneath that mask you wear.”
And with that his fingers lightly
touched my face to tilt it towards his. I could feel my heart thumping hard
again against my chest and all of a sudden I felt lightheaded. He was making me
feel crazy, but in a good way. He leaned towards me as my heart raced, and his
cologne invaded my nostrils. Leaning in his lips lightly touched mine. Almost
grazed them, and I sighed. He took that as a go head, and his kiss hardened as
he pried my mouth open with his tongue. I felt myself tremble as he pulled me
into his arms, and my head started to spin. This wasn’t supposed to feel this
way. I was sure of that. I wasn’t supposed to feel dizzy, almost drunk, but at
the same time it felt so good. It felt right.
