Emily is waiting, too.
But this ain’t no love triangle.
In Brookside, no one has to choose.

Excerpt
“I love you with every breath, michante.” My heart. “You know that.”
Spent and speechless, Emily could only nod against his chest.
“Say it,” he commanded, gently lifting her chin with his finger. “Tell me you feel it in your bones.”
“I do.” She wet her lips. “It’s just that sometimes…”
“I know. You need to feel my hands on you.”
And your lips. The taste of your tongue.
Not daring to say it, she closed her eyes and basked in the feeling of his fingers tracing her spine. The heat coiling between her legs. Without a coat, the November air was frosty, but in his arms, she was burning.
“I need you, too, wild one.” His dick poking at her belly, he pressed in. “We just have to wait a little while longer.”
“But it’s so hard.”
“I know it is.” Threading his fingers in her hair, Jake bent her head and kissed her crown. “It’s the hardest part.”

About the Author
Dyan Layne is a nurse boss by day and the writer of edgy sensual tales by night--and on weekends. Serenity, the first book in the Red Door series, is her debut novel. She's never without her Kindle, and can usually be found tapping away at her keyboard with a hot latte and a cold Dasani Lime--and sometimes champagne. She can't sing a note, but often answers in song because isn't there a song for just about everything? Born and raised a Chicago girl, she currently lives in Tampa, Florida, and is the mother of four handsome sons and a beautiful daughter, who are all grown up now, but can still make her crazy--and she loves it that way! Because normal is just so boring.
