Truth is, I’m not sure why Dahlia Muñoz is back, but nothing good can come of it. Nothing good at all.
I struggle against the heaviness threatening to consume me, only to fail as I spare a glance at the first man who broke my heart. It took him nineteen years to earn it and only six words to obliterate it. And I don’t plan on forgetting that.
“I hope you’re not planning all the ways you can torture me already.” Her half-hearted tease lacks any oomph. “Torturing you is my favorite pastime.”
“You wouldn’t shut up about how if you got a second chance with Dahlia, you’d do things differently.”
Screw guys in backward ball caps and gray sweatpants. Men in hard hats and work boots are my new kink, thanks to Construction Ken standing in front of me with muscular arms and killer cheekbones.
If finding Julian attractive is a crime, consider me guilty as charged.
“You’re right.” “I’m sorry. Can you repeat that? I think my brain malfunctioned for a split second.” His frown deepens. “Don’t let this get to your head.”
“I’m falling in love with you, Dahlia. I don’t expect you to say it back after everything you’ve been through this year, but I didn’t want to go another night without you knowing how I feel. Just like I can’t go another day with you thinking I’m okay with us keeping things casual.” Por Dios. His eyes shimmer from the moon peeking through the clouds. “I missed out on a chance to make you mine before, but I don’t plan on making the same mistake again. We’re the real deal, sweetheart, and I’m done letting you believe anything else.”
