Excerpt
“Yeah. That’s one way to put it. Is there
something else you called for besides trying to stick your nose in where it
doesn’t belong?”
I open my mouth and then shut it, unsure how calling him
because I just needed to hear his voice has devolved so quickly into this. Into
me scrambling for words I can’t find to fix shit that doesn’t need fixing.
Because I don’t want this. Don’t want him.
“Well then, if you want to actually talk instead of pull
this ridiculous bullshit, I’m here for you…but Had…? Whatever this is here…this
passive aggressive crap? I don’t do too well with that. We had our one night.
You made it quite clear you didn’t want anything more than that so you don’t
get to call me up and question what I might or might not be doing with anybody
else. You want no strings? Then cut the ties…but frankly I don’t think you know
what the fuck you want so until you figure your shit out, I think it’s best
that we say good night before we make a bad situation even worse.”
“Wait!” Desperation
rings in my voice in the single word. And I hate myself for sounding like this
but I’m so lonely, so scared and just want the comfort I know he can bring me
right now.
I wait for the sound of the dial tone to assault my ears.
Wait for the incessant beep that reaffirms why I have barbed wire wrapped
around my heart – painful but necessary. But there is nothing for a few moments
until I hear the phone scrape against the stubble on his face.
And I wait…my throat burning with the tears I want to shed
but am so sick of. The ones that no longer bring me comfort.
“I’m here, Haddie. I’m not going anywhere, okay?” The
timbre of his voice carries his concern and sympathy to me through the line.
The incoherent sound I make is all I can offer in thank
you to him for not hanging up on me. For not giving up on me.
Cover & Book Summary
ONE NIGHT. THAT'S ALL IT WAS
SUPPOSED TO BE.
Reeling from the sudden loss of her
sister, Haddie Montgomery has sworn off relationships. All she wanted from
Beckett Daniels was a sexy distraction to help her escape her pain for just a
little while....There weren’t supposed to be any strings attached—so why can’t
she shake the memory of that unforgettable night from her thoughts? Or the
taste of his kiss from her lips?
No matter how hard Haddie tries to forget
about him, Becks relentlessly tries to prove that she should start living for
today. But she is determined to avoid romantic commitment, and she can always
use her ex-boyfriend’s reappearance to help snuff out the slow burn within her that Becks has sparked....
Or will fate force her to realize that
this kind of connection doesn’t come along very often and a chance at love is
worth the risk?

About the Author:
New York Times and USA Today Bestselling author K.
Bromberg is that reserved woman sitting in the corner who has you all fooled
about the wild child inside of her—the one she lets out every time her
fingertips touch the computer keyboard.
K. lives in Southern California with her husband and three
children. When she needs a break from the daily chaos of her life, you can most
likely find her on the treadmill or with Kindle in hand, devouring the pages of
a good, saucy book.
On a
whim, K. Bromberg decided to try her hand at this writing thing. Her debut
novels, Driven, Fueled, and Crashed of The Driven Trilogy were well received
and went on to become multi-platform bestsellers as well as landing on the New
York Times and USA Today lists. Her other works include a short story,
UnRaveled, and a companion piece to The Driven Trilogy titled Raced. She is
currently working on three stand alone Driven novels, Slow Burn, Sweet Ache,
and Hard Beat. She also plans to release a novel addressing the 10 year gap at
the ending of Crashed in late fall 2015
