Description:
“There is a vulnerability there,
hovering just below the surface. And I want to pick at it until I expose it.
Then I want to kiss it."
Two years ago, Emily Burnham, had an
epiphany about the shallowness of her life. And she made it her mission
to become a different person…a better woman. Out from under the
controlling thumb of her mother, Emily is tasting the real world for the first
time. And she likes it.
Nixon Caldwell has served his time
in the Marine Corps, surviving two brutal tours in Afghanistan. He is back
home, surrounded by what he likes best…isolation. It's certainly the
easiest way to avoid confrontation of the consuming guilt that is weighing him
down.
When an accident brings Emily and
Nix together, he soon learns he is not the master of his own fate. Struggling
with his own pain, Nix tries to guard himself against Emily’s charms. He
wants her in his bed, but he doesn’t want her in his heart.
Having grabbed life by the horns,
Emily wants it all. But is she willing to accept just the small part of
himself that Nix is offering? Can she reach the part of his soul that he
has deemed to be Off Limits?
This book is the follow up novel to Off Sides by Sawyer
Bennett. However, Off Sides can be read as a stand-alone.

weaknesses but can be bribed with a nominal amount of milk chocolate.

I take in his clothing with just
a quick glance but I'm fascinated by the tattoos that are peaking out just
under the sleeves of his t-shirt. He has three strands of black barbed wire
circling each bicep. Some of the prongs have been inked to look like they are
digging into his skin, and there are realistic drops of blood dripping from
each wound. It's a terrifying piece of artwork and sinfully erotic just because
of its badass look. I've never seen anything like it.
I pull my eyes from his tats and
look at him. My face heats up as I realize he's been watching me ogle his arms.
"Like what you see?"
The remark should have been a teasing comment but his voice is hard.
I try to play it cool. "Not really.
Just fascinated, that's all."
"If you want to see more of
my tattoos, you only have to ask. I'll be glad to strip down and show you
everything." There...now that was teasing in his voice but his eyes are
still hard. It's like he wants to tease me but has no clue how to do it. For
some reason, that makes me feel sad for him.
