Suddenly Jack is back, and his explanations for why he left seem more and more plausible, and his declarations more seductive. But being Jack's latest tabloid accessory isn't on Keri Ann's career agenda, no matter how much she is attracted to him. And how can she can ever trust him again?

EXCERPT
Jack
wasn’t wearing his ball cap, and the breeze ruffled his darker, longer hair.
It
seemed laughable now, that I would have waited until tomorrow morning to find
out what he was doing back here. I cocked my head. “You realize this qualifies
as seriously creepy.”
I
thought I saw his mouth lift slightly on one side.
“I
couldn’t sleep and thought walking would help. And well, I ended up here.” Jack
shrugged, his hands still wedged in his jeans. His soft, deep voice that I knew
so well, that the world knew so well, was a smooth melody over the jagged
rasping of the cicadas. “I didn’t know you’d be awake.”
You just showed back up in my life, how could I be sleeping? I
bit down, holding my teeth together to keep from inviting him in. “Why couldn’t
you sleep?” I asked eventually.
“Why
couldn’t you?” he returned.
My
skin got warm. “I was sleeping.”
Barely.
I
imagined I saw his eyes narrow. “But Jazz texted and woke me,” I added. Not
technically a lie.
Jack
nodded, pursing his lips and rocked back on his heels. I could see more details
now that my eyes were accustomed to the night and the clouds continued clearing
the sky. He was wearing dark jeans and a snug dark t-shirt. His eyes hadn’t
left me. I reached up and smoothed my hair, tucking an errant strand back in
the direction of my messy braid, wondering what on earth I looked like after
tossing and turning for the last few hours.
“Stop.”
I
paused.
“You’re
beautiful.”
My
blood pressure rose. I clamped my jaw tight again. My upbringing dictated I
thank him, but a wave of anger, no ... make that pure and utter
pissed-off-ness, almost choked me. “You can’t even see me,” I snorted. “Nice
try. What do you want anyway?”
“I
don’t need to see you to know you’re beautiful.”
Well,
didn’t that knock an oyster out of its shell? What was he playing at?
“Seriously, what do you want, Jack? You need someone to buy your groceries or
something?” My acidic tone left no doubt about how I felt.
His
shoulders moved almost imperceptibly, and I had the thought he’d either let out
a long sigh or he was at a loss as to what to say, and was about to give up and
turn around. “Can I come in?” he asked so quietly, I almost didn’t hear him.
“I’d like to talk to you.”
