The
Montgomery Ink series continues with the brother that deserves a second chance,
and the woman who has always loved him.
Alex Montgomery lost his first love and
then proceeded to leave himself in the bottle. Only he and his ex-wife truly
know why he fell so hard and so fast down a path he never thought he’d take.
Now he’s clean, out of rehab, and learning how to be a Montgomery once again—a
task that isn’t quite as easy as some of his family assumes.
Tabby Collins is an honorary Montgomery
and the organizational mastermind behind Montgomery Inc., the family’s
construction company. She loves her planners, friends, and a certain
dark-haired man who’s never given her a second glance.
Alex is slowly re-immersing himself
back into the world, but the demons he faced before aren’t out of the picture,
and he’ll have to learn to rely on others to make it out whole. When Alex
discovers that Tabby’s life is in danger, he not only finds a way to help her
but also learns the true woman behind the soft smiles he’s always seen. Their
romance won’t be an easy one, but nothing this passionate and heart-pounding
ever is.

Excerpt
Tabby stood up quickly and gripped her
planner—her lifeline—before making her way to him. And though she’d walked
through the room countless times before in the heels she wore, the front of her
left foot hit the hardwood at just the right spot—or wrong spot depending on
how you looked at it.
She tripped, her hands flailing out in
front of her. Her planner shot out one way, her pens the other. The others
called out to her, and though everything happened in seconds, she could hear
each individual voice and see the panicked look in Alexander’s eyes.
Before she hit the ground, though,
strong arms wrapped around her and brought her to a hard chest. She grunted as
the breath got knocked out of her, and she slid her feet along the floor until
she found her balance. Alexander held her firmly to him, his head lowered. She
looked up at him, mortified.
“Uh, thank you.”
“You okay?” His voice was low, a bit
gruff, and did such horrible things to her. She wanted to press herself flush
to his chest and take a bite out of his chin.
And that was not
Tabitha Collins.
She didn’t drape herself around a man
and swoon like some Regency heroine.
Screw that.
She pulled herself away and
straightened her clothes. “Thanks for catching me. I seem to like making an
entrance...even after I’m already in the room.” Storm had picked up her
planner, and she took it from him, resisting the urge to clutch it to her chest
and make sure it was unharmed.
“So, now that I’ve shown you my
graceful walking skills, let’s head over to the office.” She turned on her
heel—carefully this time—and strode toward the rooms in the back, careful not
to make eye contact.
She’d just made a fool of herself in
front of the man her heart refused to forget, and now she had to work with him
on this next project. Closely.
It seemed today was going to be a very
long day.
Very long.
