Sunset Reads Novel Book 2

year.
It’s
been one year since Agent Damian Trent left for Washington without a
word.

year since he’s seen her beautiful face.
One
year since he’s heard his name on her lips.
He's
been recently called back to New York City on assignment, to catch a
criminal who’s trying to infiltrate Sunset Reads. The last thing he
expects is to work side by side with the woman he turned his back on.
Having
her close is an unwanted distraction that he’s more than willing to
ignore, if only she wasn’t so damn tempting.
Everything
seems under control, until a night of feverish passion has him
abandoning all thoughts of reason. Now, he will do everything in his
power to get her back, and even more so to protect her.

a year of trying to forget Damian Trent, she is finally ready to move
on.
But
trying to forget him becomes a tedious task when he suddenly
reappears in her life.
Although
she fights to stay away, his magnetism is too strong and she finds
herself giving into the deep timbre of his voice, and the strength
and safety of his arms.
Staying
away from Damian turns out to be futile, especially when his kisses
consume her and his heart shatters the walls she spent so much time
building.
Finding
herself in danger, she now has to turn to the only man she trusts to
keep her safe, but can she trust him enough to give him her heart
once again?
Damian and
Layla Excerpt
As she hurried to the back of the tent, a hand
reached out for her and pulled her into the bushes. Before she could let out a
scream, her mouth was covered and a deep voice whispered in her ear. “Don’t
scream. It’s me.”
She immediately recognized Damian’s voice and
more so the feel of his body pressed against her back. He slowly turned her to
face him, all the while making sure to keep her in his embrace.
Layla looked up at him with wide eyes, “What
are you doing here?” she breathed. “You scared the crap out of me!” She smacked
him in the arm with her purse.
“What are you doing here?” he returned.
“I work here.”
“What?”
“I’m Sunset Reads’ new PR Director.”
His brow furrowed at her news, and then his
eyes traveled lower, down her throat, over her collarbone, to the low-cut of
the dress and the tempting view of her full breasts. He swallowed hard and it
took everything in him not to take her deeper into the park and have his way
with her.
“What the hell are you wearing?” His voice
came out deep and husky.
She looked down at herself, and realized that
Damian had a lovely view straight down her dress. She quickly squirmed out of
his grasp and took a step back. “It’s called a dress, and stop looking at me
like that!”
“Hey, it’s not my fault you look sexy as hell
in that thing. It’s barely covering anything!”
Layla was grateful for the lack of light; that
way Damian couldn’t see the bright blush on her cheeks.
His eyes were all over
her, but she secretly enjoyed the appreciation in them. It brought hot tingling
sensations across her lower abdomen, and erased any semblance of Gus Schwartz’s
dark leering glare.
She shook her head, trying to clear her
lust-hazed thoughts and said slowly, “I asked you what you were doing
here.”
He pressed a finger to her lips as a couple
passed by and she stared at him with dark eyes. After a moment, he looked down
at her. Seemingly distracted, he grazed her plump bottom lip with his
thumb.
“I’m undercover,” he whispered.
A slight thrill ran up her spine and she
looked around them into the dark night. “Are we in danger?”
“If Schwartz keeps staring at you like that he
will be.”
“What do you care if he stares at me?”
“I care. I care a lot,” he said calmly but
tightened his grip on her arms.
“You didn’t care for a whole year, Damian.
What does it matter now?”
“Stay away from him, Layla, he’s not a good
man.” He looked down at her once again, his eyes intense and his jaw held
tight. After a long moment, he stepped around her preparing to leave.
“Wait!” she whispered, grabbing his arm.
He looked back at her, an eyebrow lifted,
waiting.
She quickly released his arm. “Does William
know about this?”
He shook his head. “No, and I prefer to keep
it that way for now.”
“What? You have to tell him. He’s about to do
business with him!”
She now had his full attention. “Are you
sure?”
She nodded. “They were just talking about it.
William wants Skyline to manage the technological advances at Sunset Reads.
We’ve set up a meeting.”
“We’ve?” he asked
“I’m the Director, Damian. Who else is going
to be his contact if not me?”
Damian frowned. “I’ll talk with William, but
you… I need you to remain as far away from Schwartz as possible.”
She looked behind her towards the party. “I
had a feeling he couldn’t be trusted. Tell me,” she turned back to Damian,
“what did he do?”
Damian shook his head, looking off into the
distance as if in thought. “Nothing that can be proven yet, but I have a
feeling he’s connected to someone big. Someone who can hurt William and
Cristina.”
“Damian?”
He looked at her. “Just do your job and forget
I was here.” He quickly went back to the party, leaving Layla alone.
“If you only knew how hard that is,” she
whispered in the empty space.
