Past Regrets
by Shelley
Munro
BLURB:
Never
look back…unless that’s where your heart belongs.
Love
and Friendship, Book 2
Julia
Maxwell was a seize-the-moment party girl until the night she spent with
up-and-coming rocker Ryan Callander. From that moment, she was a one-man woman.
Pity he hasn’t kept with the program.
Tired
of the secrets that have kept her out of the press and Ryan’s fans happy, angry
with mounting evidence of infidelity, Julia is older, wiser, and determined to
divorce his cheatin’ ass.
Ryan’s
long European tour had more than its share of hard knocks—one of which landed
on his head when he was mugged. Divorce papers waiting for him at home are a
shock that fills in some of the holes in his sketchy memory. But it could be
too late to salvage his marriage.
If
Ryan thinks flirtatious smiles, seductive touches, and hot-and-heavy kisses are
going to smooth things over, Julia’s got a hammer with his name on it. To her
surprise, he picks it up, determined to rebuild a bright future for both of
them. But the past is lurking with some missing pieces that could bring their
hearts crashing down.
Warning:
Contains a pissed ex-stripper turned burlesque dancer, a bunch of nosy friends
and a smooth-talking rocker with one thing on his mind. Stripper poles and
skimpy costumes may be involved.
EXCERPT
“You went to
your family christening over Anniversary weekend. Julia and I went to Fiji for
a four day break and married while we were there.”
“Congratulations.”
“She’s served
divorce papers on me,” Ryan said with a snarl, anger warring with the jagged
knife slicing into his brain. He loved her, damn it. “I’m not letting her go
without a fight.”
Caleb’s grin
lit up his face. “And I worried I’d be bored taking a three-month break.” He
rubbed his hands together. “This should be fun.”
“There’s
nothing funny about a divorce.”
The amusement
quit Caleb. “I know that, man, but I know you. Julia won’t stand a chance.
She’ll be putty in your hands again in days. I’ll be your wingman.”
Ryan’s
hackles rose and his fingers balled to fists. “You won’t be putting your hands
on my wife again. That was a one-time thing.”
Caleb raised
his hands in surrender, his gaze steady, reassuring, and some of the tension
seeped from Ryan. Caleb was his friend, not the enemy.
“Why don’t we
go back to the apartment, grab a few hours’ sleep then stake out her place. You
can confront her when we run her to ground.”
It was a
sensible solution, despite his need for immediate action. He hesitated before
admitting to his exhaustion. The damn headache had taken hold, and his skull
thumped like the crazy beat of Neil’s drums during a solo spot. “Yeah, okay.
Sounds like a plan.”
Down but not
out. Julia was his wife. His woman, and soon no one would doubt it, least of
all her.
