IF YOU LEAVE by Courtney Cole
(July 8, 2014; Forever Trade Paperback; $12.00)
Ex-Army Ranger Gabriel Vincent is a badass hero. Or he used to be. Home from Afghanistan, Gabe can't stop thinking about that one horrible night on the battlefield, a night that changed his life forever. He knows he's messed up, but with the help of a little beer and a lot more women, he's keeping it together. Until he meets Madison Hill.
Madison is happily single—or so she thinks. After the tragic death of her parents, she took on the responsibility of running the family restaurant, and that's just about all she has time to worry about. Until she meets Gabriel Vincent.
Though they don't realize it at first, Gabe and Maddy will soon develop a weakness: each other. But Gabe has a secret, a hidden monster that he's afraid Maddy could never overcome. And Maddy is dealing with issues she fears Gabe won't understand. They quickly realize they need each other to be whole, but they have demons to fight—and the problem with demons is that they never die quietly. Can they find a way to heal the past . . . before they lose each other?

IF
YOU LEAVE excerpt
“To answer your question, I’m here at
the club because my little sister thought I should come out and meet
someone. To quote her, I’m ‘getting mean
as hell and need a piece of ass.’”
Madison laughs, a low and husky
sound.
“Do you? Need a piece of ass?”
She sounds anxious. And interested.
I hold her gaze.
“More than you can imagine.”
I slide my hands from her back down to
her ass, cupping it, squeezing it.
“And I like yours,” I add. I’m being cocky again, but she seems to like
it.
She practically purrs as she leans
into me even closer, her nose almost touching mine. Her lips hover so close
that I can feel them.
She slides her hands down to my ass,
gripping it in her fingers.
“Yours will do.”
The air hangs heavy between us,
charged and electric. Our eyes are
locked and we each pause, waiting for the other to make a move.
The anticipation is killing me.
I take a breath.
Then she takes one.
Her lips graze mine and her mouth
smells like mint. And then before I can
think another agonizing thought, she covers my mouth with her own.
Finally.
