So close, she was so close to saying yes.

She stroked his scalp with her nails, the sensation soothing and turning him on in equal measures. “One year.”

“What?” He blinked.

“This is our year.” Her shaky voice grew stronger. “We rang it in together, we take this year and we go crazy. Go where we want, do what we want…and next New Year’s Eve…we decide then if we want it to be permanent.”

“Together, all year, anywhere we want to be?” He clarified the terms.

“We’ll go fishing….”

“And to the Caribbean, and anywhere else you want to go,” he promised. That dark road turned into a summery field. “What about your job?”

“It’s a job. I’ve had a career. I want a life.”

One year. Oh, he could do a lot with one year.

“Mission accepted.”

~ABOUT THE AUTHOR~

National bestselling author, Heather Long, likes long walks in the park, science fiction, superheroes, Marines, and men who aren’t douche bags. Her books are filled with heroes and heroines tangled in romance as hot as Texas summertime. From paranormal historical westerns to contemporary military romance, Heather might switch genres, but one thing is true in all of her stories—her characters drive the books. When she’s not wrangling her menagerie of animals, she devotes her time to family and friends she considers family. She believes if you like your heroes so real you could lick the grit off their chest, and your heroines so likable, you’re sure you’ve been friends with women just like them, you’ll enjoy her worlds as much as she does.
