Nora is in search of something different. Bored half to death with dating suitable men and doing the right thing, she longs for someone who can blast through the emotional deep freeze of her mundane, middle-class life and give her the mind-blowing, anonymous sex that haunts her dreams. Someone like the men her long-dead mother raved about in her diary. If that someone is a surprisingly erudite hunk from the wrong side of town with a heart as big as his biceps and an astounding repertoire of sexual skill, that's just fine. And if his skin glows light brown in contrast to her paleness, all the better.Nate isn't looking for anything at all. He has big plans that will lead him out of his rough neighborhood and make his beloved grandmother proud. The last thing he needs is someone threatening to interrupt his hard work and break down the impenetrable barriers he's raised to protect himself, both from the women he's dated and the mother who abandoned him at birth. But there's something special about Nora. Her kindness and vulnerability sets her apart from the usual good girl gone wild that occasionally wanders into his favorite bar, and the sexy curves beneath her suede designer skirt don't hurt, either. Their chance encounter quickly blossoms into a passionate night of discovery, and as they explore each other's bodies, they soon realize they have more in common than they ever could have imagined. Neither is prepared for the emotional and physical intensity of their connection and each will have to reveal tough secrets, face past hurts, and risk terrifying rejection to make it work. But can Nora allow unruly emotion to triumph over logic? And can Nate let down his guard and trust her with his inner pain? Or will they settle for a beautiful memory - and regret the decision forever?Note: This book contains adult content and is not intended for readers under 18 years of age.
