Description:
“There
is a vulnerability there, hovering just below the surface. And I want to pick
at it until I expose it. Then I want to kiss it."
Two
years ago, Emily Burnham, had an epiphany about the shallowness of her
life. And she made it her mission to become a different person…a better
woman. Out from under the controlling thumb of her mother, Emily is
tasting the real world for the first time. And she likes it.
Nixon
Caldwell has served his time in the Marine Corps, surviving two brutal tours in
Afghanistan. He is back home, surrounded by what he likes best…isolation.
It's certainly the easiest way to avoid confrontation of the consuming guilt
that is weighing him down.
When
an accident brings Emily and Nix together, he soon learns he is not the master
of his own fate. Struggling with his own pain, Nix tries to guard himself
against Emily’s charms. He wants her in his bed, but he doesn’t want her
in his heart.
Having
grabbed life by the horns, Emily wants it all. But is she willing to
accept just the small part of himself that Nix is offering? Can she reach
the part of his soul that he has deemed to be Off Limits?
This book is the follow
up novel to Off Sides by Sawyer Bennett. However, Off Sides can be read as a
stand-alone.

EXCERPT :
I take in his clothing with just
a quick glance but I'm fascinated by the tattoos that are peaking out just
under the sleeves of his t-shirt. He has three strands of black barbed wire
circling each bicep. Some of the prongs have been inked to look like they are
digging into his skin, and there are realistic drops of blood dripping from
each wound. It's a terrifying piece of artwork and sinfully erotic just because
of its badass look. I've never seen anything like it.
I pull my eyes from his tats and
look at him. My face heats up as I realize he's been watching me ogle his arms.
"Like what you see?"
The remark should have been a teasing comment but his voice is hard.
I try to play it cool. "Not
really. Just fascinated, that's all."
"If
you want to see more of my tattoos, you only have to ask. I'll be glad to strip
down and show you everything." There...now that was teasing in his voice
but his eyes are still hard. It's like he wants to tease me but has no clue how
to do it. For some reason, that makes me feel sad for him.
