Sunlight (Haven River Ranch, #2)

by Devney Perry

“Tell me a lie,” he whispered. “I don’t want you to kiss me.” It came out so fast I couldn’t stop it. What was I doing? What was I saying? His tongue darted out to lick his bottom lip. “Tell me a secret.” Only one secret came to mind. A secret I really, really shouldn’t say. But I did anyway. “I always want you to kiss me.”

And if he made me a promise, I wasn’t sure I’d survive if he couldn’t keep it. Not that he wouldn’t try. Jax Haven was the type of man who’d move mountains to keep a promise, even if it destroyed us both.

“Tell me a secret.” “I love you.” Three words and I could breathe. For the first time in what felt like my whole life, I could breathe.
