*The Pact is a
standalone, contemporary adult romance*
It all started with a pinky swear…
Linden McGregor is tall, rugged, and
gunslinger handsome; a helicopter pilot with a Scottish brogue and charm to
spare. He’s also one of Stephanie Robson’s best friends and has fit into that
box for as long as she’s known him.
Beautiful, funny and an ambitious
businesswoman (with one hell of an ass), Stephanie Robson is one of Linden
McGregor’s best friends and has fit into that box for as long as he’s known
her.
But some relationships can’t be boxed,
can’t be classified, can’t be tamed.
Back in their mid-twenties and tired of
the competitive hit-or-miss dating scene of San Francisco, Steph and Linden
made a pact to marry each other if neither one of them are in a serious
relationship by the time they hit thirty.
It sounds like fun and games but as the
years to thirty tick past and lovers come and go out of their lives, the pact
becomes larger than life.
Sex is inevitable. Friendships are
tested. Hearts are on the line.
The
pact is about to change everything.
EXCERPT:
Her eyes are so blue and wide, like the morning sky, her
mouth so perfectly full. I contemplate running my thumb over her lips before I
kiss the salt off of them.
I should just do it. I should just fucking do it.
I swallow hard, my throat feeling closed up but I know it’s
not from my cold. It’s from want and it’s from fear.
“What are you staring at?” she asks me, her voice shaking slightly.
Just fucking kiss her.
