Excerpt #1
“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.
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
