SEE YOU AT SUNSET
Seashell Bay #3
VK Sykes
Releasing February 23rd, 2016
Forever
DEEPER THAN ANY OCEAN . . .
All Holly Tyler wants is a fantastic career, a not-too-committed relationship, and a city where there are no painful memories. Instead, she's called back to her hometown of Seashell Bay to help with her family's struggling general store. It's a town where everyone knows everyone, and where one man could sink Holly's careful plans.
Deputy Sheriff Micah Lancaster has wanted Holly for as long as he can remember. He knows she has a life on the mainland-and a boyfriend-and that there's no real future with her. But now Holly is back and the attraction still flickers between them, a promise of something more. Their desire is stronger than any undertow . . . and once it pulls them under, it won't let go.
Excerpt 6
She stood poised at the top of the ladder, where she’d
stood countless times before. Holly had no fear of the ocean, having jumped and
dived off Seashell Bay docks and piers all through her childhood. She’d never
suffered anything worse than a black eye Brett Clayton inadvertently gave with
his elbow as he surfaced beside her.
After a quick glance down at Micah, who was staring up
at her with his mouth hanging open, she aimed a little to his right and
launched herself into a dive.
She came up spitting salt water and shrieking. The
water was not warm—it was freaking cold. “You lied about the water, you rat,”
she yelped.
He swam closer. “Since when did you become such a
wimp?” he teased.
Holly splashed water at him. “Officers of the law are
supposed to always tell the truth.”
Micah gave her a sly grin. “Are you still cold?”
She didn’t miss the heated intent in his gaze. You are
so playing with fire, Holly. But she didn’t care—not tonight anyway.
“Am I still shivering?” she scoffed.
“I can fix that.” He pulled her in, plastering her
against that wet, gorgeous chest of his. Holly couldn’t resist. Didn’t want to
resist, because it felt too damn good—better than anything she’d felt in a very
long time.
She snaked her arms around Micah’s shoulders and
treaded water along with him.
“Does that help?” he whispered in her ear. His bristly
chin brushed against her cheek, making her shiver even harder.
“You have no idea,” she choked out.
“Mmm, wrap your legs around my waist, babe. Then you
can just float with me.”
She was vaguely aware that he was pulling her with him,
but didn’t fully realize what was happening until he turned and gently pressed
her against one of the dock’s pilings. Micah’s arms protected her back from
rubbing against the rough, moss-covered wooden post. He pulled her close, and
the filmy fabric of her bra was like nothing against the rock-hard heat of his
chest. Her nipples, already stiff from the cold water, ached with a delicious
heat from the contact.
When she sucked in a startled breath, one of his hands
slid down to her ass and he kissed her hard. She didn’t even try to close her
lips, taking him right in.
And, dear sweet Jesus, did he ever taste wonderful.
She’d dreamed about kissing him for so long. And not the friendly, quick kiss
on the cheek or the occasional peck on the lips they’d shared as friends. She’d
wanted this. Hot, glorious, messy, and so damn passionate that it blasted every
rational thought from her brain. She’d wanted Micah’s tongue sweeping into her
mouth, his lips devouring hers like he’d never wanted anything more in his life
than what they were doing right now.

plot and characterization, but tends to fall down on the job when it comes to
that pesky old thing called emotion. That’s where Vanessa steps in. She usually
