How can she
forgive him for what he didn't do?
Photographer
Izzy Cooper feels as frozen as her pictures. Trent Palmer might be the hottest
firefighter in Templeton Cove, but she can never face him again. Not after he
failed to save her brother. But when they're forced together by a calendar
shoot, the sparks between them are undeniable.
Izzy knows it's not fair to blame Trent for the tragedy,
but opening herself up to loss again isn't something she's prepared to do, no
matter how determined Trent is to show her that pain is part of life and that
love—their love—can make any suffering bearable.
EXTRACT
The security alarm
chimed. Someone had stepped inside the studio. Exhaling a heavy breath, Izzy
pulled back her shoulders, lifted her head and forced a smile.
“Hi, how can I…”
Her heart stopped. Trent Palmer stood just inside the door. “Why are you here?”
His dark green gaze
bored relentlessly into hers, his strong jaw set as he reached behind him and
shut the door. “I came by to see how you’re doing.”
Traitorous
attraction skittered over the surface of her skin before Izzy turned and strode
toward the corner she used for staging portrait shots. The fluffy bunnies, huge
furry dice and toys she’d used to relax a toddler earlier now felt macabre.
She spun around,
clutching a teddy bear. “The same as I was doing yesterday and the day before.
I told you I don’t want to see you. I don’t ever
want to see you. Why do you keep coming back?”
He came closer, his
gaze locked on hers. “You have to talk to me. I was Robbie’s friend. There was
nothing—”
“You could do.
Fine. I get it, but why do you feel the need to keep coming in here and
checking up on me? What do you want me to do? Dance in the street? Kick up my
heels at the fairground? God, just leave me alone.”
“There’s a beach
party tonight. I want you to come with me.”
She stared. Why
him? Why would a man she really liked—a damn firefighter—have to pursue her
like she was someone worth pursuing? “No.”
He looked at the
equipment covering the desk alongside him. He lifted and replaced a camera, the
hunch of his wide shoulders indicating his discomfort. Izzy hated that she drew
no satisfaction from that…only sadness.
