Julia Sinclair is your typical innocent good girl with a heart of gold. At sixteen she moved to Sunset Bay, South Carolina, to live with her Grams after losing her mother to cancer. This is where she met some of the best friends she will ever have and one in particular who will forever hold her heart.

Jaxson Reid is your typical tattooed bad boy. His past and soul is as dark as the tattoos he bares. He flies through life and girls with no attachments and no emotions... until he met her.

One fateful night brought Julia and Jaxson together. They formed a friendship and a bond so strong it was unbreakable. Jaxson fought the temptation of anything more with Julia because he knew he would never be good enough for her. When he found his control slipping he left the one girl, who meant everything to him, to join the Navy.

But one passion-filled night has Jaxson letting go of fighting temptation which will forever alter their relationship.

A few years later Jaxson comes home to make things right with the one girl who’s ever meant anything to him. Except someone isn’t happy that Jaxson has returned. Someone who thinks Julia is theirs and they will stop at nothing to make sure it stays that way... forever.

Now Jaxson will not only fight to protect Julia but will also battle the new and existing demons that haunt his soul.

Excerpt

INTIMATE TIME WITH JAXSON’S PAIN

JAXSON

I slide her down my body till her feet reach the floor and take a step back. “Take off your dress.”

She raises an eyebrow at my command but does as I ask. Before she unzips the dress though she bends down to take her shoes off.

“Leave the shoes on.”

She snaps her head up and smirks, “Mmm bossy, bossy, you’re lucky I like you like that.”

She wants to see bossy, I’ll fucking show her bossy.

Standing back up she unzips her dress letting it fall off her, pooling at her feet. My cock jerks at the sight of her body, minimally covered by black satin and silver fuck-me heels. A low growl erupts from my throat, “Damn woman, you’re fucking sexy.” I reach out to pull her to me but she moves out of my reach.

“Uh uh,” she smirks, shaking her finger at me, “Not one step closer till you take some clothes off too.”

I don’t smile back because right now there’s nothing funny about how hard she’s making my dick. I reach up behind my shoulders and pull my shirt off. I start stalking towards her but her sharp gasp stops me in my tracks. The smile on her face vanishes.

“Oh my god Jaxson.”

I’m thinking her shock is of the scars I have on my chest, it’s not as bad as my back but it’s still not a pretty sight, except she grabs the beat up pendant that’s hanging around my neck.

Shit, forgot about that. I clear my throat, “I had to get a new chain for it, it got a little beat up.”

Her expression turns sad, “I guess it didn’t do much good huh?”

I shrug, “I don’t know about that. I’m still here aren’t I?”

I’m not sure why I just said that. The truth is I don’t believe in that shit, but the thought of Julia losing her faith bothers me. She smiles sadly at me, “Ya you are, and thank God for that because I would die without you Jaxson.”

Her choked words send a sharp pain through my chest making it hard to breathe. No one has ever cared for me the way Julia has, and as good as it feels, it also scares the living shit out of me.

My abdominal muscles twitch when she lays her warm hand on my stomach. “Let me touch you, I want to know your body,” her gaze is pleading.

Control is something I never give up, but for Julia, for a few minutes, I will give it up for her. My pulse kicks up when her smooth hand trails across my chest as she walks around to my back. I feel her trace the angel with her fingers, then she begins kissing all my scars, as if trying to erase them from my body. She wraps her arms around me from behind. Her breasts press against my back, making me wish they weren’t concealed by the black satin. Suddenly my back becomes wet and I know it’s from her tears, which makes me feel as if someone just punched me in the fucking throat. Even though it’s hard for me to do I let her hold me because I know she needs this, and well... maybe I do too.

Eventually she makes her way back to my front, tracing the scars on my chest, pressing her warm lips against each one. Her body shakes as she tries to hold in her anguish and it fucking tears me up.

I thread my fingers through her hair and bring her pained gaze to mine, “Please don’t cry for me Jules.”

“I wish I could take them away.”

“You do,” my voice is gruff, even to my own ears. I bring my mouth to hers and taste her salty tears as they fall to our lips.
