Second wind: a new strength or energy to continue something
that is an effort. After an amicable divorce, Lincoln Huxley is ready to
embrace the sexuality he repressed for more than two decades. Rush Holden is no
longer willing to settle for closeted men or those who don’t share his dreams
of marriage and fatherhood. A chance encounter on a lakeside pier is the second
wind they both need. Or will it just be a painful reminder of all they had
lost?
Second chance: an opportunity to try something again that failed
one time. Rush and Lincoln have shared a lot of firsts—friendship, young love,
and heartbreak. Cruel reality forced the two men to choose paths that took
their lives in different directions. Twenty-six years later, they get a second
chance to fall in love with each all over again. Can it really be that simple,
or will the same issues ruin their happiness a second time?
Happily ever after: to live happily for the rest of one’s
life. Rush and Lincoln know that love and life can’t be defined by words alone.
Patience, commitment, and the determination to do whatever it takes will be the
only way the two men achieve their happily ever after.
Second Wind is a funny, sexy, and endearing standalone
romance novel about love, loss, and rediscovery. It contains sexually explicit
material and is intended for adults 18 and older.
EXCERPT
“Um,
don’t look now, but some hottie is heading toward us with a determined look in
his eyes,” Nigel said.
“He’s not packing a weapon, is he?”
“What’s your definition of a
weapon?” Nigel asked suggestively.
“The lethal kind.” The intrigue I
heard in my assistant’s voice made me curious, so I glanced up to check out the
situation. My breath caught in my throat when I looked into familiar dark eyes.
“I don’t fucking believe it.” I had to be dreaming, but my racing heart told me
it was real. Fate wouldn’t be that cruel to me. I handed my camera to Nigel
before I dropped it.
My obligations were temporarily
forgotten as I walked to Lincoln with joyful laughter spilling out of me. He
opened his arms wide, and I landed hard against his broad chest. I circled my
arms around his waist at the same time those strong arms wrapped around my
shoulders.
“I can’t believe it,” we said at the
same time then laughed like we did when we were kids. And if that wasn’t
enough, we both said, “Jinx.”
“Okay, now it’s getting ridiculous,”
I teased.
“What’s ridiculous is that it’s
taken me more than two decades to see you again,” Lincoln countered.
I pulled back enough to look into
Lincoln’s warm gaze and welcoming smile. I closed my eyes against the swiftly
rising emotions that threatened to consume me and rob me of the ability to
speak. I pressed my forehead against his and said, “It has been too many years,
but my heart would recognize you anywhere, Linc.”
“As would mine,” Lincoln said
huskily.
About The Author
I am a wife and mother to three kids, three dogs, and a cat.
When I’m not dreaming up
stories, I like to
lose myself in a good book, cook or bake. I’m a girly tomboy who paints her
fingernails while watching sports and yelling at the referees. I will always choose
the book over the movie. I believe in happily-ever- after. Love inspires everything
that I do. Music keeps me sane.
