Westdyke seems to have it all: he's handsome, athletic, smart, and admired.

through life not allowing himself to feel.
But
when the beautiful and energetic Katelyn Sharp barrels into his life, Tristan
is helpless to resist emotions long buried. A connection slowly grows between

Excerpt
“You scare me.” I decided to go as
honest as I could. My heart was pounding with both my admission and something
else I couldn’t identify.
She scoffed. “Uh, do you see me? How
can this—” she gestured to herself “—intimidate you?”
I slowly perused her from her
sandal-clad feet, up the short black dress, and all the way to her now flushing
face. “Yeah. I see you,” I whispered as I peered into her deep brown eyes.
She was dumbstruck at my words and
let her guard down for a second. Then she seemed to snap out of it, shaking her
head as if to clear her thoughts. “Screw this.” Kate turned, breaking our stare
down to jam her key into the lock.
So quickly that even I didn’t
know how it happened, I moved and suddenly I had her pinned against the wall
next to the door. Her purse and keys clattered to the floor. “Hey!” she started
to protest, but she trailed off as she realized that our faces were inches away
from each other—a fact that I was now also painfully aware of. I had her hands
restrained above her head with both of my own, and my lower body was against
hers so that she couldn’t move. “Tristan, what—” she started to ask.
“I don’t know,” I managed to get out
before my lips crashed into hers. I moaned when her mouth immediately opened to
me. And she answered me back with her own sweet whimper as our tongues tangled
together. She wiggled until she was able to hook one of her long legs around my
waist. I let go of her hands to grab both of her legs, running my hands up and
down her smooth thighs before resting my hold under her ass so I could grip her
tighter against me. I couldn’t stop—I needed to explore all of her mouth,
memorize the sounds she made, and show her all the things I couldn’t say with
words.
After I had released her hands, Kate
ran them over my chest, causing me to groan and push her harder against the
wall, and then she tangled them in my hair. She anchored me to her, and I was
too far gone to care about what any of this even meant anymore. Kate,
Kate, Kate. I want you. But I know I shouldn’t. I don’t want to hurt you,
beautiful girl. Give me what I don’t know I want.
Both our phones started to ring, the
piercing tones shattering the moment. And I wanted nothing more than to stay in
that moment—wrapped up in Kate. Kate was the first to break away, breathing
heavily. I leaned my forehead against hers, still holding her up. Her eyes
remained closed, but I kept mine open to watch her. I didn’t know what to say
to her now. No words could convey what had just happened between us. All I knew
was that I wanted more—more of her taste, more of her moans, more of her
pressed against me—but I didn’t know how to tell her that. “Put me down,” she
commanded softly as she opened her eyes.
