Don't Blame Me
by Kay Blake
Genre: NA/Adult Contemporary Romance
Release Date: August 10th 2018
Summary:
Sometimes love’s a drug. The rush can be so addicting. All that
matters is the high. Not the consequences. Not the damage left in its wake.
Adrian Robinson was a college football star, with his future all
mapped out. He didn’t expect to fall for feisty Leah Hunter. Nor did he
expect the destruction left in its wake when it all came to an end.
Now, Adrian’s a hotel magnate and one of the most eligible
bachelors in the world.
He has it all, except the one woman he has kept in his heart for
years. And he’s willing to do anything to get her back.
Leah hasn’t seen Adrian since the day she was forced to pick up
the pieces of her broken heart.
When Leah is assigned to write a piece on him for her magazine,
remnants of their torrid romance still burn like yesterday.
Will the high be worth it this time? Or is it destined to crash
and burn?
Excerpt:
Adrian laughed sitting up. “Well, maybe it’s weird that you
haven’t let it go yet, but I have to admit I do admire that kind of
dedication.”
I smiled and got off of his arm to playfully push him.
“Here you go teasing me again,” I said sticking out my tongue in
a mock manner.
“No teasing. Just stating what I noticed. That is it. I promise.
I don’t want a repeat of earlier.”
My stomach at that moment dropped and all the fluttering started
again. It was as if there was a family of butterflies were fluttering around in
my stomach and I was helpless to stop them. I didn’t know why, but I did like
Adrian more that I had cared to admit. It was why he got under my skin so much
because even though he was the kind of guy I would normally stay away from.
I played with my fingers trying to think of a good excuse to
have him leave. I need him to get out of my space so I could think clearly
again. Him and I wouldn’t work. I knew that. I knew that better than he
probably did. We were too different from each other and had different goals. It
was all I needed to know and for that reason, we wouldn’t work out. I needed
him to get out of my personal space, and I could go back to keeping my
distance. That was the only way I would be able to do that. If he stayed away I
could keep all these confusing feelings at bay.
“Leah?” Adrian said softly interrupting my thoughts and I turned
towards him.
“Yes?”
“You are probably the most beautiful girl on this campus. No,
you are the most beautiful girl on this campus and you don’t even know it,” he
said.
“What do you mean?”
“You’re just you. I like you. The real you underneath that mask
you wear.”
And with that his fingers lightly touched my face to tilt it
towards his. I could feel my heart thumping hard again against my chest and all
of a sudden I felt lightheaded. He was making me feel crazy, but in a good way.
He leaned towards me as my heart raced, and his cologne invaded my nostrils.
Leaning in his lips lightly touched mine. Almost grazed them, and I sighed. He
took that as a go head, and his kiss hardened as he pried my mouth open with
his tongue. I felt myself tremble as he pulled me into his arms, and my head
started to spin. This wasn’t supposed to feel this way. I was sure of that. I
wasn’t supposed to feel dizzy, almost drunk, but at the same time it felt so
good. It felt right.
