From the Blurb:
The first time Skylar and Rowdy give themselves to each other completely--heart, mind, body and soul--is also the night Skylar disappears without a trace. Rowdy promised to love her forever. But forever is a long time when you’re only seventeen.
After years of waiting, Rowdy gives up on Skylar and tries to purge her from his memory with cheap tequila and one night stands.
When Skylar finally returns, Rowdy is no longer the shy, sweet boy she fell in love with. He’s bitter, angry and determined to protect what remains of his shattered heart. She’s determined to reclaim it, but first she has to put it back together.
Set in the eclectic town of Eldorado Springs, Colorado and Eldorado Canyon State Park, a rock climber’s paradise, “Naked Edge” is a new adult contemporary romance about perseverance, second chances and the healing power of love.
Excerpt:
Steam pours into the hall when Rowdy comes out of the bathroom. He’s wearing nothing but a towel around his narrow hips.
I run to him without thinking and plaster myself against his damp chest. I bury my face in his shoulder before I have a chance to consider the consequences. “God, Rowdy. I’m so sorry.”
He pries my arms off his neck. His voice is hoarse. “It’s not your fault.”
“I know. But I still hate that it happened. And I’m so sorry about your mom.”
“Stop.” He speaks through clenched teeth. His fingers dig into my wrists as he yanks my hands over my head and pins them to the wall behind me. His pupils dilate, swallowing his irises until they’re nothing but ice-blue rims.
A shiver runs from my head all the way down to my toes. My heart thumps against the base of my throat as he leans in. He’s going to kiss me.
There are at least a hundred reasons for me to stop him, but I can’t seem to think of a single one. I can’t stop trembling either.
Rowdy presses his forehead against mine and whispers my name. His voice is rough, deep and seductive. “Skylar?”
“Yes?”
“Go to bed.” He lets go of my hands and steps back.
I take a slow, shaky breath, pretending I don’t want to scream. Or cry. Or punch him in the mouth. Or crush my lips against his. Or rip that towel off his body.
Naked Edge by Charli Webb was released on January 12 2014, and is available from Amazon.
