Excerpt
Escaping with Collin and finding normal for a few hours—that’s what she’d said she wanted. And right then, letting the desire they had for each other take hold felt more than just normal.
Nicole reached out and laid her hand on the middle of his chest. His heart beat hard against her palm. “Yes. I am. And I know there’s an end date and it’s soon. But I have enough ‘if onlys’ in my life right now. And I don’t want to add us to that horrible list when I know being with you isn’t just what I want…it’s right.”
