Book Spotlight: Dare to Kiss by S.B. Alexander
 Dare to Kiss by S.B. Alexander  |
Genre: Sports Romance
Besides her family, Lacey Robinson’s
only other love is baseball. She’s on top of the world when Arizona State
University approaches her to discuss a scholarship. To play for a college boys’
team is beyond what she has ever dreamed. Her fastball is impeccable, her
slider equally as good, and her curveball annihilates anyone who dares to step
in the batter’s box. But fate has its own way of throwing curveballs. When she
loses her mother and sister to a home invasion, baseball and her dreams die
with them. Tragedy has a way of seeping deep into her psyche, causing
nightmares, panic attacks and blackouts. Diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress
Disorder, her psychiatrist recommends a change of scenery and picking up the
things that she loved to do, and for Lacey that is baseball.
After a move clear across the
country, only two things matter to Lacey—overcome her PTSD and make Kensington
High’s baseball team. But trying out for the team comes with complications—the
captain, Aaron Seever, doesn’t want a girl on the team.
Adding to her new life, she never
counted on meeting someone who wants her as badly as Kade Maxwell. The tall,
sexy and drool-worthy bad boy has a magical touch that awakens her feminine
side, and a kiss that slowly erases her nightmares. But getting involved with
him may be dangerous when Kade’s arch-nemesis returns to town to settle a
vendetta.
To complicate matters, her PTSD has
taken a turn for the worse. She has to find a way to push away the demons
otherwise she may not have a chance at anything in life.
Strong language. Sexual content. Intended
for audiences 17 years and older.
~Excerpt~
He grinned with his infamous Maxwell
smirk as he cupped my face.
I had barely caught my breath when
his mouth was on me. I opened to him as his tongue dipped inside, twining with
mine. He tasted like forever. I wiggled against his hardness, and he moaned.
Abandoning my mouth, he trailed his lips along my jaw, my ear, and my neck. He
licked over my racing pulse while the heat from his hands was scorching my
back. His torment was too much, yet not enough. My clothes grew constrictive. I
wanted to feel his bare skin against mine.
As if he sensed my need, he lifted
my sweater over my head, throwing it to the floor. His eyes were seas of
shimmering copper. The backs of his fingers ghosted up and over my abs to land
on the clasp of my bra. For perhaps one second he hesitated before unsnapping
it. When he did, I sucked in a breath, my nipples hardening. He removed one
strap then the other before it fell behind me.
“Beautiful,” he breathed, as he
traced the outline of my breasts, teasing, but never touching the sensitive
peaks that ached for his magical fingers or even his mouth.
I pressed my hips into him, feeling
his arousal. Desire swirled down my belly in a slow, sinuous slide.
He groaned, deep and sensual. “Baby,
tell me what you want.”
My body tingled. My brain went
blank. “You.” All I wanted to do right now was feel him and everything he had
to offer.
His eyes widened with a savage
intensity that frightened me, yet calmed me. He pressed a kiss to my breast,
gliding his warm mouth over my nipple before sucking on it. I arched into him,
rubbing against him. He moaned, giving my other breast the same attention.
I fisted my hands in his sweater,
tugging it up. He eased back, raising his arms. I lifted his sweater and
T-shirt over his head before tossing it aside. My gaze wandered over him,
drinking in every muscled inch of him from the line of light brown hair that
disappeared into his jeans, to the six-pack abs that sculpted his midsection,
to the tattoos on his chest.
Pushing his fingers through my hair,
he brushed his lips over mine. “Are you sure, Lace?” His voice was barely
audible.
