Publication date: November 30, 2013
He's addicted to booze. She's addicted to sex...staying sober is only half the battle.
No. More. Sex.
Those are the three words Lily Calloway fears the most. But Loren Hale is determined to be with Lily without enabling her dangerous compulsions. With their new living situation—sleeping in the same bed, for real, together—Lily has new battles. Like not jumping Lo’s bones every night. Not being consumed by sex and his body.
Loren plans to stay sober, to right all of his wrongs. So when someone threatens to expose Lily’s secret to her family and the public, he promises that he’ll do anything to protect her. But with old enemies surfacing, Lo has more at stake than his sobriety.
They will torment Lily until Lo breaks.
And his worst fear isn’t relapsing. He hears the end. He sees it. The one thing that could change everything. Just three words.
No. More. Us.
Excerpt
LILY CALLOWAY’S POV
“I’ll pay you back,” I tell Connor.
Okay, that sounds sexual. When I think of favors, I picture blow jobs.
My face immediately heats, and I try looking away but everyone is already staring at me. I’m doomed.
“Lily!” I hear three voices in varying pitches chastise me. Lo puts an arm over my shoulder and I restrain myself from hiding in his bicep. I will not cower.
I point to Connor accusingly. “He said it, not me!”
“I wasn’t talking about sexual favors,” Connor refutes calmly.
I point to my chest now. “Sex addict, here. My brain has an automatic setting. I’m not going to be thinking party favors.”
Bringing up the words sex addict was a bad idea, and I regret it as soon as Ryke says, “Speaking of being a sex addict.” I could punch him. “How’s your recovery going to work now that Lo’s back? Are you two allowed to have sex together?”
“It’s complicated,” I mutter. “And I don’t think I should be discussing it with you.”
“She can have some sex,” Lo clarifies, apparently un-complicating it.
I want to disintegrate just a little.
“What is somesex?” Ryke asks.
Okay, a lot—I want to disintegrate a lot, a lot.
“I can’t talk about it,” Lo says evasively. But really he means: I can’t talk about it in front of Lily. Because I have no idea what “some” entails either. It’s going to drive me bonkers.
