Blurb:
The wait is
over. They fell in love in Melt Into You, but that was only the beginning. Now
New York Times bestselling author Roni Loren dials up the passion as three
lovers reinvent the meaning of togetherness and find out if love is truly
enough…
Two dominant
men, one beautiful woman. Jace Austin knows he doesn’t have what you’d call a
conventional relationship with Evan and Andre, but it works. Boy, does it
work—until Evan starts acting strangely and Andre’s ex-fiancée pops back into
his life, unbalancing a perfectly happy threesome. Jace is forced to face the
unthinkable: that the two people he cares most about in this world are in
danger of slipping away from him.
So Jace plans
a surprise getaway to a secluded mountain cabin for the three of them. And he
knows exactly what he needs to do: give both his lovers a fantasy week they’ll
never forget. And the possibilities for pleasure are endless. But when they get
snowed in and the heat between them reaches a fever pitch, secrets come out.
And Evan has one that could change all their lives forever.

“Martine?”
Andre glanced down the hallway and headed into the kitchen, trying to keep his
annoyance from bleeding into his voice. “How did you get this number?”
“Don’t be mad, but I called your
mom. My mother still had her number. Apparently, they still go to the flea
market together sometimes on the weekend.”
“I see.” Great, now his mom would be
calling him about that nice Velasquez girl. Because
although his parents knew about his unconventional relationship with Evan and
Jace, they weren’t exactly enthusiastic fans. His mother wanted big church
weddings and piles of grandkids from her children, not a son who brought home a
tattooed gringo and the girl they shared. He had a
feeling his mom hadn’t completely gone off on him yet because she thought he
was going through a phase.
“So I know I’m supposed to wait for
you to call me or whatever, but I have the afternoon off today and I thought
maybe we could grab that lunch.”
“Marti—”
“I know it’s last minute, but I
haven’t been able to stop thinking about seeing you the other night, and I just
want to talk and catch up. Things haven’t been—well, they haven’t been so great
for me lately, and it’d be nice to spend some time with an old friend from back
home.”
The request was delivered with that
trademark sweetness of hers that wedged guilt right through him. He knew this
was more than an I-want-to-catch-up-with-an-old-friend thing. But he also
sensed she was being honest about going through a tough time. He could hear
that lonely edge to her voice. He also had no interest in being the guy to fix
that for her. “I’m sorry to hear things aren’t going well, but I’m leaving town
for a week in a little while. And even if I weren’t, it’s not a good idea for
us to strike up that kind of friendship.”
“Don’t trust yourself with me?” she
asked, her tone light and teasing but the challenge there.
He raked a hand through his hair,
his patience on a short tether. “It’s not that at all. But I’m friends with
people who respect my relationship and my choices, and I get the feeling that
you don’t.”
He could picture her pressing her
lips together on the other end. “Your mother said you have problems with
commitment and that’s why you can’t decide between your boyfriend and your
girlfriend. She said I should—”
Unbelievable. “This conversation is
done, Martine.”
“Wait!”
He blew out a breath, silently
counting to ten in his head.
“Look, I’m sorry. This is all coming
out wrong. Of course, I wouldn’t try to mess up things for you if you’re happy,
but I don’t see why we can’t be friends.”
“Fine. You want new friends? When I
come back, you can have lunch with me . . . and Evan and Jace.
You’ll have three new people to talk to.”
“You want me to—? I—”
“Is that a problem?”
“No,” she said quickly, sounding not
at all confident. She was probably already picturing him open-mouth kissing
Jace in public or something. “I mean, I guess that could work.”
“Great. I’ll give you a call when we
get back. Until then, don’t call this number. I’m on vacation from everything
and everyone.”
He tossed his phone on the counter
with a sound of frustration.
“Was that the ex?”
Andre whirled around, finding Jace
standing in the doorway of the kitchen. “Yeah. She tracked down my number
through my mother.”
Jace smirked. “Mama Medina still
trying to play matchmaker to get you away from your life of sin?”
Andre shook his head. “Something
like that. My mom informed her that I have issues with commitment. I can’t even
decide on a gender to love.”
Jace laughed. “Nice. Think what we
have in mind will make a difference for her?”
“Doubtful unless there’s a priest
involved at some point,” Andre said, picking up his phone and tucking it in his
pocket. “But I’m over it. I’m too old to worry about what other people think,
even if those people are in my own family.”
“At least your sister is on your
side.”
Andre smiled. That’s because Cela
was doing her own living in sin with her boyfriend/dom and was thankful that
most of the family’s frowns were aimed Andre’s way instead of hers. Though, he
didn’t doubt that Cela was also genuinely happy for him. “So is our girl all
ready?”
“Yeah, the water turned off a few
minutes ago.”
“Think she’s figured anything out
yet?”
“Nope. I put the bags in the car so
she wouldn’t see them and told her we were going to drop her off at work
today.” Jace’s grin was devious, and childlike enthusiasm lit his face.
Andre walked over and threw his arm
over Jace’s shoulders. “Ready to do some kidnapping?”
“Think if we tie her up and carry
her out, a neighbor will report us?”
Andre snorted. “Yes. Let’s not get
thrown in jail today, all right?”
“Damn. That would’ve been fun.”
“You’re a sick fucker, J.”
“And you two love me, so what does
that make y’all?”
Andre led him out and toward the
bedroom. “Gluttons for punishment.”
Jace glanced over at him, giving him
that slow up-and-down look that could make Andre’s best intentions derail in a
flash. “Lucky for us all, that’s my favorite kind of people.”
