A Chance At Love
by Shelli Rosewarne

Corporal Aidan Hamilton has the unenviable job of telling his best friend’s sister that her brother isn’t coming back. This is slightly complicated by the fact that from the moment he meets Suzanne Kelsey he knows she’s everything he’s ever wanted. While Suzanne might need someone to lean on at the moment, can he convince her that what they have is more than a short term fling?

Suzanne had always told her big brother that being a soldier was too dangerous, so when she sees the uniformed officer in front of her house she knows exactly what he’s here to tell her. While Aidan may set her blood on fire, Suzanne has already lost one soldier she loved and she’s not prepared to trust her heart to another one.

Excerpt...

He'd moved closer and she could feel the heat of his leg pressing against her side through the thin covers. 

"I should probably go," he muttered. 

She felt a stab of panic—she didn't want to be alone. In fact, she thought suddenly, eying up the tanned chest that was so close to her now, what she needed was a distraction. A really good distraction. In fact, a six-foot, half-naked, almost in her bed already, distraction. She reached out her hand and lightly stroked it over his chest, feeling him tense, the muscles clenching under her touch. She met his gaze, seeing desire warring with restraint. Well, one would have to go, she thought, with a half-smile. 

She leaned forward, bracing her hand on his chest, to lightly brush her lips across his. They were soft and warm. She felt him shift as though to pull back and she ran her other hand into the close-cropped hair at the back of his head, clutching him to her, her body now pressed against his. She ran her tongue along the seam of his lips, and he groaned. 

She felt the exact moment he gave in, when his body relaxed against her, his hand slid around to her back, crushing her closer against him, and his tongue plunged into her mouth. She moaned as their tongues dueled, heat spreading through her body. Christ, he sure as hell could kiss.
