Sweet Temptation should be read prior to this novella. EXCERPT Sawyer’s lips press against my neck in a gentle caress before they move to my shoulder then further down, resting against my fluttering heart. Emotion bubbles up my throat as I think about the last few days and the secret I’m keepin’ from him. “Promise me I’ll have you forever,” I whisper. He tenses against me before lifting his face to mine. Grabbing my left hand he holds it up between us, showing me my wedding ring. “I already made you that promise, Grace, and I never go back on my word. You’ll have me forever.” “No matter what?” I prompt, needing the reassurance. His intense gaze searches mine, questions raging within but thankfully he doesn’t ask them. “Yeah, baby. No matter what.” Wrapping my arms around his neck, I hug him tight in an effort to hide the tears threatening to fall. I’ll tell him. Once I know the results, I’ll tell him, and I pray with everything I am that he’ll forgive me for this.
