"You've owned me from the moment I walked into that music room. You've wrapped yourself in my heart and mind. I can't get you out. I don't want to. "
~Rafael Van Rees
Sophie Fisher's life is on fire. If she's not ducking around corners or slipping out windows to escape debt collectors her father's death has left knocking on her door, she's dealing with her rebellious, fifteen-year-old sister, Lilli. And, as if that's not enough, Rafael Van Rees crashes into her life --literally -- bringing with him a past the public has no idea of. Can she unravel his mysteries before he unravels her, or will his presence finally force her to face the demons she's trying to outrun?
Rafael Van Rees prides himself on being in control of his destiny, music, and women. As far as he is concerned, his past is a black cloud in the distance - until he meets Sophie, that is, and his world spins out of control in more ways than one. He knows the darkest sins and secrets eventually reveal themselves, but when it comes to Sophie, he'll stop at nothing to protect her from his past. Even if it kills him.

“Did you need something?”
“Just this . . .” I frame her face with my palms and brush
my lips on hers. She sucks in a breath, her eyes fluttering shut. She grabs the
front of my shirt as she sags forward, like her legs can’t hold her up anymore.
Slipping one arm around her waist, I pull her curvy, soft body flush against my
hard one, my lips still on hers.
Fuck yes! The buzz is
still there. We were both young when we shared our first kiss, but this. This
is different. Time hasn’t erased the connection between us. My heart recognizes
her, beating to a rhythm that’s only hers.
Pulling back, I stare at the face that has lived in my head
for years. Haunting me. Comforting me. Her eyes slowly open, and she blinks,
looking dazed. She presses her fingers on her lips.
“You kissed me,” she whispers, as if it’s the most unusual
thing. Does she not get kissed often? Her lips were made for kissing, and I
can’t get my greedy eyes off them.
I tip my head to the side. “I did,” I say, pressing my
thumb on her bottom lip, inching up to the labret. Her mouth parts slightly. I
could kiss her again, slip my tongue past those delectable lips. Taste her.
Really taste her.
“Goodbye, Sophie.” I drop my hand and turn to leave, then
stop. “Nice tattoo, by the way. A butterfly.” I emphasize the last word
to get a reaction. Nothing.
“Mr. Van R--Rafael. Do we know each other?”
Christ, the way she says my name has every part of my body
straining, wanting to hear her say it again.
“Do we?” I lift a brow.
Her frown deepens, and her bewitching eyes, smoky after the
shared semi-kiss, narrow at me.
I’m not about to tell her. I need to find out why she can’t
remember me first. “Drive safely, Sophie.” I turn, and stride back to Simone’s
music room. I feel her eyes on my back, my shoulders, my ass. I let her have
her fill. I’m not going to deny her--and me--this chance. I’m selfish, but hey,
she needs the image to go along with the kiss. Right before I turn the corner,
she takes a loud, deep breath.
Damn right, Butterfly.
