RELEASE DATE: August

Blurb
The fourth in the Inside
Out erotic romance series by New York Times bestselling author Lisa Renee
Jones, this steamy novel resolves Chris and Sarah's relationship and leads into
Mark's story.
"Chris and I have
faced our demons and bared our souls to one another in Paris. Now that we are
back home in San Francisco, I want to believe that nothing can tear us apart.
Not Ava’s accusations against me to the police, or Chris's fear that he will
destroy me as he feels he did Amber. And not Mark, who was once too intimately
a part of our lives, and who I can see crumbling inside out. He believes he is
invincible, just as I want to believe Chris and I are invincible. We have to be
invincible. We need each other too much for any other ending.

EXCERPT , Sara’s POV
The elevator dings, and I
jerk around to face the exit that leads directly into our apartment. Like the
first night I came here, I have an inescapable sense that once I pass through
the door, I’ll never be the same again. Life will never be the same.
I realize Chris isn’t
touching me anymore. He wasn’t touching me that night, either. It’s as if he
feels I have to make the decision to move forward on my own, and some part of
me knows why. He needs to know now that home with him is still home to me. It
reminds me of why we connect, why we are those missing pieces of a puzzle that
have found a perfect fit. No matter how perfect his being imperfect makes him
to me, he will never see himself as I do. He will never feel he is not flawed.
He will always need me to be his eyes, and he is mine.
I walk into the apartment,
the glossy, light wood beneath my feet. Our suitcases are already sitting by
the entryway, brought up from the service entrance. Intentionally repeating
what I’d done during that first visit here, feeling that’s what he wants, I
travel down the steps to the sunken living room. I drop my purse on top of the
coffee table as I pass and keep going until I stand in front of the
floor-to-ceiling window. Flattening my hands on the glass, watching the orange
glow of the sun fade into the water, I see the stars begin to illuminate a city
as shrouded in secrets as Chris and I once were. But now our blank canvas is
inked with colors, not fears, and love has blossomed where there was once only
passion.
Music begins to play and I
smile when I hear “Broken” by Lifehouse, amazed that Chris would actually
remember the song he’d played that first night we were together. I’m falling apart, the lyrics say. I’m barely breathing. I’m not falling
apart, but as Chris steps behind me, his heat radiating through me, I am
definitely barely breathing.
He caresses my coat off my
shoulders, and this replay of the past sends an erotic thrill down my spine. As
his hands fall away from me my lashes lower, my breath hitching as I anticipate
his touch, waiting, wanting, until finally his hands settle possessively on my
waist. He leans into me, and the feel of the thick ridge of his erection
against my backside is impossibly arousing. A delicate, enticing brush of his
fingers sweeping hair from my neck follows and rolls over me like a warm sun
expanding through a newly open blind.
“Put your hands on the
glass above you,” he orders softly.
The command thrills me, and
the temptation to do as he bids, to relive our first night together, is a
powerful one. Yet I have the unnerving sensation of also reliving the
uncertainty I’d thought we were beyond. I don’t understand this feeling, and I
don’t like it.
Desperate to drive it away,
I turn to face him, momentarily overwhelmed by how tall and broad, how
perfectly male he is. And as I blink instead of speak, he claims control again.
He presses me against the window, his powerful thighs frame my legs, his hands
brand my hips.
His head tilts, the stubble
of his jaw rasping deliciously on my skin, as he announces, “I’m going to fuck
you against the window again.”
Please. Yes. Don’t make me beg, I think, and the rest of the world
begins to slide away. There is only this man, the blistering heat he creates in
me, and the foggy certainty that I’d had something important to say. He nips my
earlobe, erotically licking away the pinch he’s created, his hands traveling
upward, over my rib cage, his fingers brushing the curves of my breasts.
My nipples tighten and the
low thrum he’s created in my sex, over hours of verbal teasing, blossoms and
intensifies. “Chris,” I whisper, a plea for more in my voice. For him. I want
him, all of him.
“Hands over your head,” he
orders again.
I want to obey. Being at
this man’s mercy is the biggest adrenaline rush of my life, but that feeling is
clawing at me again, the sense that all is not right. Leaning into him, I ball
my fingers around his shirt, and search his handsome, unreadable face. “Are we
okay?”
Surprise flashes in his
eyes, followed by that indefinable emotion again that I want to call
vulnerability but isn’t. I don’t know what it is. He cups my face. “I need you
too damn much for there to be any other answer.”
