Back in his arms again
Somewhere deep inside, Jordin DuGrandpre has always been waiting for Ethan Holbrooke to come back to Charleston. He moved away as a teen, breaking all contact—and her young heart. Back then, she had no idea how difficult his family life was. Now she wants to heal the hurt behind his successful, sexy exterior, but Ethan is an expert at keeping people out. Even the one woman he truly wants.
Jordin’s the only part of Ethan’s old life that he hasn’t rejected. He left and made a fortune on his own terms, yet still feels that he doesn’t deserve her. Hiding his emotions from the gorgeous attorney is impossible once desire gives way to molten kisses. But he’ll have to face his past to make room for the healing passion she offers, and the love they’ve both been yearning for...
Without warning, Ethan pulled her closer to him.
He took her mouth as if it was his to do with what he pleased, making it his own in a way that had Jordin’s hands rising of their own volition, her fingers curling into his shirt. Her moan slid free of her mouth and into Ethan’s.
The kiss was explosive, consuming and intense.
All Jordin could think about was the heat of Ethan’s body against her own.
Ethan released her slowly, leaving Jordin breathless, hungry for more of his kisses and drowning in desire.
He drew a slow breath.
She gazed into his chocolate-brown eyes.
“You are irresistible,” he murmured, as though having reached some internal understanding with himself. Ethan lowered his head down to hers, and pressed a single kiss on her lips.
Their gazes locked. Jordin and Ethan glimpsed the attraction mirrored in the other’s eyes.
Ethan kissed her again, lingering, savoring every moment.
Jordin’s emotions whirled. Blood pounded in her brain, her heart leaped and her knees trembled.
“I have always been drawn to you, sweetheart,” Ethan whispered. “From the moment I laid eyes on you.”
Only for You is the second book in the DuGrandpres of Charleston series. Jordin DuGrandpre is thrilled that Ethan Holbrooke is back in Charleston. She intends to seize this opportunity for the two of them to reconnect. However, Jordin finds that she has to knock down the wall around Ethan’s heart.
I was inspired to write this story during a visit to Charleston, South Carolina. While there, I overheard a snippet of a conversation about a young woman who was perplexed by the actions of a friend who recently returned home. There is a saying that “home is where the heart is,” and for Ethan, this is true.
Best,

Only for You
