Excerpt:
It had been a very long time since Gabriel shared details of his life with anyone, let alone a woman. But it felt right with Jade. Even more so, as thunder shook the heavens outside and lightning blazed over the ocean, Gabe felt his insides rattle, his dark places illuminate, and his soul churning until his secrets strained to be let out to someone he could trust.
Now the devil’s and the angel’s voices on both shoulders rang out in unison, each trying to drown the other out. But Gabe heard them equally. The angel’s voice urged him to be genuine, caring and honest—because with telling the truth he’d never be sorry. The devil’s voice told him to lie to look good, then seduce and lust after her, then let her go and if he didn’t, he’d be sorry. But with the devil’s words came the glare of lightning, and thunder growled over the bar shaking Gabe to his core.
Rain poured down in sheets and Gabe knew he didn’t want his life to be an eternal storm, forever threatened with disaster. He wanted his life to be the way he felt inside this room—safe and warm with a beautiful, caring woman to share it with. It was time to listen to the good angel, and so the story of Gabriel Montoro poured out of him as profusely as the rain from above.
