ICYMI: BECAUSE OF YOU Excerpt

This week, Shiloh Walker was the first to be able to see a sneak peak at an excerpt from BECAUSE OF YOU. In case you missed it, here's the replay.

BECAUSE OF YOU – Excerpt:

Someone solid and heavy knocked into her and sloshed beer down the front of her blouse. A strong vise latched around her arm to steady her. She glanced up into the lightest grey eyes she'd ever seen. Grey eyes that she'd seen before but never this close. In the dimly lit bar, they looked almost silver.

Shane Garrison. A friend of Trent's. Jen had seen him around before, but had never actually spoken to him. He'd always seemed big, but up close he was massive. Black tribal tattoos twisted up both of his wrists, writhing up his forearms to disappear beneath the frayed edge of a green T-shirt. And who knew that bald could be so sexy in the right lighting? Had to be the rough jaw that did it.

"Sorry. You okay?" He leaned close to her ear so he didn't have to shout. Jen shivered as his breath brushed across her skin. He stood closer to her now than any man other than a doctor had in over a year. The heat from his body caressed her skin, and she could smell him, a mixture of spice and smoke and something entirely male. She swallowed and tried to find her voice.

"I'm fine. Thanks. This place is crowded." She knew better than this. She pulled her arm free and tugged the clinging blouse away from her skin, suddenly afraid that he would see the scars on her chest through the wet material.

As the words left her lips, someone jostled her into him again. He tried to steady her but she fell against him anyway.

Time hung suspended and she stood in this man's embrace, feeling protected and safe and deliciously unflawed. It was impossible to miss the hard angles of his body. For one brief fantasy moment, she imagined what it would feel like if this dangerous and sexy man lowered his mouth to hers.
