SWEET (Contours of the Heart #3) by Tammara Webber
NA Contemporary Romance
He’s the love of her life, but he doesn’t know it.
She’s his one moment of sacrifice in a lifetime of survival.
He was damaged and wild, but resilient.
She’s always been obedient. Now she’s restless.
Home for the summer between college and med school, Pearl Torres Frank knows two things: Boyce Wynn is the embodiment of everything she should run from, and everything she wants to run to. Rebellious and loud. Unconcerned with society’s opinion of him. Passionate. Strong. Dangerous.
And one more trait he hides from everyone but her:
Excerpt:
Boyce watched me, a lit cigarette in one hand and a koozied
beer in the other. We hadn’t spoken since that kiss, other than his usual juvenile
quips during biology—the ones that drove Mel and Mr. Quinn insane and made
Landon smirk and shake his head and had me biting the inside of my cheek to
suppress my smile.
At first, I’d been confused, then disappointed, and then
angry. I’d worked my way to acceptance, like when I’d known I was drowning and
there was nothing I could do. He’d merely gone back to being Boyce Wynn, who
did what he wanted and who he wanted. And I’d gone back to being Pearl
Frank—star student, social royalty, good girl.
But I couldn’t forget that kiss. The fixed glint of his eyes
across the fire said that neither could he.
Excerpt
In four years, nothing had erased or even dimmed my memories
of Boyce. His kiss. His touch. The disorienting intensity of his gaze. I was a
different person now, and so was he, but apparently those transformations
didn’t matter to this thing I felt. For my heart, he was a grounding wire, the
needle of a compass, a gravitational pull.

Of all the possible scenarios I’d imagined for this summer,
living in a trailer with Boyce Wynn hadn’t been one of them. A trailer that at
the moment contained one bed. “I guess I’ll just sleep—”
“In my bed.”
The hand gesturing toward the living room froze midair. I’ve
heard people say My heart stopped—which
of course isn’t possible unless you’ve just died—but
I now understood where the perception might originate. “Uh.”
“I’ll take the sofa,” he said.
Embarrassment washed over me. He wasn’t propositioning me.
He was being courteous. I lowered my hand, half-convinced I’d fallen into an
alternate universe where my mother kicked me out of the house and Boyce Wynn
was proper. “You don’t have to do
that.”
He arched a brow, his eyes glowing with mischief. “You want
me to sleep with you?”
Or not.
