The authors of Evernight have a brand new team of swoon-worthy book boyfriend candidates. A sexy assortment of cowboys, Doms, detectives, millionaires, royalty, vampires, soldiers, and shifters are just a click away.
Get ready to find your next book boyfriend…
I’m excited to introduce you to Shane Fowler of One Stormy Night and one of the many book boyfriends you’re going to meet over the next few days.
Shane is a little different than most. Not a cowboy, not a millionaire. He’s the boy you wished lived next door – handsome, funny, smart and very sweet. Well, not so sweet according to one ex-girlfriend. But that’s not the point. When you’re together he’ll flash that megawatt smile and have you floating.
That’s what he does for the heroine of One Stormy Night, Alexis Joplin, and they’re just friends…or so they say.
Let’s take a peek at what happens one evening while the two are watching the rain from the front porch of a hundred-year old inn:
“Alexis, you are a beautiful woman.”
“Thank you,” she mouthed.
The gentle breath she blew across his cheek tingled. The subsequent pucker of her lips against his skin burned. Desire to have her flamed in his groin, and not even the furious splatter of rain down his back doused it.
“You’re smart and funny and caring. A woman any man would want to wake up next to,” he whispered. Shane stopped fighting the urge.
He kissed her.
Shane savored the lingering tartness of the wine as he kissed her lips. Bursts of simmering raspberries and cherries tingled over his mouth, adding to the fire growing deep within him.
For a few seconds after slipping his tongue inside her mouth, he thought he’d found relief from the gnawing ache.
Then she kissed him back, sweeping her tongue over and under his in slow, tantalizing circles. How many nights have I dreamed about kissing her like this?
“Damn.” He snapped his head back, excited by the tickle of the murmuring sounds coming from deep in her throat, and lifted Alexis into his lap.
The swing creaked from the sudden movement, but he wasn’t going to let go just yet.
“Oh.”
He covered her mouth with his and caressed her breast. The lush mound was as firm, yet yielding to the squeeze of his hand, as he’d always imagined.
But he needed more than the feel of fabric to satisfy the awful thump between his legs. He slid his fingers under the dress’s crisscrossed neckline until he reached her nipple. Her tender skin shrunk into a point, making it easier to pluck while his tongue danced over hers.
“Shane.” Alexis moaned out his name.
He kissed down her the smooth skin of her neck, now wet from the rain splattering over them.
“Yes,” she whispered into his ear.
I’m not letting her go now. He licked closer to the spot where his fingers played.
Clunk. Clunk.
“Oh, shit.” Alexis tore away from him, staggering to her feet as the swing plummeted.
