Synopsis:
There's a new guy in town...
"Patrick Knight, single, retired Guard-turned private investigator. I was a closer. A deal maker. I looked clients in the eye and told them I'd get their shit done. And I did..."
Patrick doesn't do "nice."
At least, not anymore.
After his fiancée cheats, he follows up with a one-night stand and a disastrous office hook-up. His business partner (Derek Alexander) sends him to the desert to get his head straight--and clean up the mess.
While there, Patrick meets Elaine, and blistering sparks fly, but she's not looking for any guy. Or a long-distance relationship.

Excerpt:
Suppressing a grin, I cupped her cheeks again and
covered her mouth with mine. Her lips parted, and our tongues met. I felt her
relaxing, and in that moment, the questions in my head were answered and the
answers satisfied me deeply. She was mine. No matter what came next. With a
calm confidence, I knew I’d never let her go again.
My mouth moved to her cheek. “Nobody’s getting over
anybody here. So why torture us both?”
Her body shook with her small laugh. “Aren’t you
trained for torture?”
“Yes, but you’re not.”
She slid down and put her cheek against my chest
again. My fingers threaded into her silky hair. She was so beautiful in my
arms.
Her head turned, and she rested her forehead on me,
exhaling deeply. “I still don’t want a long distance relationship.”
But her words didn’t knock the breath out of me like
the first time. Back then, I wasn’t sure of anything. Now everything had fallen
into place. Everything felt possible. I pushed against the mattress, sitting up
and bringing her with me. Her green eyes glistened when they met mine, but I
smiled.
“So we’ll figure it out,” I said, smoothing my
thumbs over her cheeks. “We’ll get through the weeks however we can, we’ll be
together on the weekends, and we’ll figure out what the future’s going to look
like. This distance is not forever.”
Her head dropped, but only for a moment. When she
lifted it again, she moved forward, wrapping her arms around my neck. My hands
spanned her waist before sliding up her body to her beautiful breasts. The
scent of cactus flower surrounded me, and I lay her back, ready to catch up on
all the days we’d missed.
“Now, that first time was amazing, but it went way
too fast.” I covered one tight nipple with my mouth and then the other as her
little moans began, her fingers threaded in my hair.
“You think?” she sighed.
“Yes,” I said against her body, traveling lower. I
kissed her flat stomach, inhaling the warm perfume lingering on her skin. She
whispered my name, and I gave her belly one more kiss before catching her
thighs and spreading them open...
