(Secrets & Shadows #2)
by Shiloh Walker
Blurb:
CAN’T FORGET THE PAIN
It took years for Adam to stop drowning his regrets in alcohol, and running the local bar doesn't make it any easier—especially not when everyone he knows gathers there to discuss the shocking allegations that have shattered his hometown. When another murder rocks sleepy Madison to its core, it becomes chillingly clear that even more vicious wounds are waiting to be exposed.
WON’T RESIST THE PLEASURE
Nothing is sacred anymore, and no one is safe, least of all the mystery woman who shows up in town out of the blue, looking like every fantasy Adam’s ever had. She may have her own dangerous secrets, but she can’t ignore the urgent heat between them any more than he can. As a killer’s quest for vengeance explodes into violence, Adam is tempted to lose himself in the delicious promise of her body—until he realizes he’ll risk anything if she’ll give him her heart…in Sweeter than Sin by Shiloh Walker.

Excerpt
He
was staring at her mouth.
Her
heart stuttered to a stop, her breath catching in her throat as their gazes
locked.
“Fuck,”
he muttered.
And
then he lowered his head, his mouth slanting over hers, his hands pushing into
her hair.
Well,
that was one plan she could get on
board with. That one night kept
replaying itself over and over in her mind and now it was a fever in her blood,
something that was turning into an obsession.
He was turning into an
obsession.
His
body was hot against her own, his chest damp and sweaty under the ragged
t-shirt, his skin furnace-hot. She
wanted to peel his clothes away, then her own and press up against him, have
him press her against whatever surface was available and then push inside. Hot, hard and fast. Anything to ease the ache inside her.
Groaning,
she slid her arms around his waist, skimming her hands under the hem of his
shirt. When she found his skin, silken
smooth and hot, she sank her nails into it.
He
hissed against her mouth and nipped at her tongue.
That
only made it worse and an ache settled deep down inside, panging inside her
womb, a hungry, needing little beast that was going to drive her mad.
He
caught her face and angled her head up and to the side as he ran his mouth down
her neck. “You want to drive me mad,” he
muttered. “That’s just all there is to
it.”
“We
can go mad together,” she said, trying to breathe around the raging ball of
want inside her.
“Sounds
like a plan.” He leaned back, grabbed
the hem of her shirt.
“Good
plan.” She started to strip his away.
The
little clicking sound didn’t register at first.
Not right away. Even the light
breeze dancing across her flesh didn’t entirely click. Not until Adam looked away.
She
followed his gaze. And her heart jumped
up into her throat, and lodged there.
