     Way out in the sea, impossible to reach. It rises gray and bare, up and up, and then out of sight. As if the sea gave birth to something meant to connect it to the sky. I’ve never seen the top. Maze says she’s not convinced it has one. And I’ve always taken its impossible presence for what the Fathers say it is: a relic from before the Wipe. The hubris of pre-Wipe man, and a reminder for us all as to why it is God’s Will that we never return to technology.

Until she shows me the map. Just the word mirror scribbled in red ink, next to a marking, and she expects me to go into the Deadlands with her.

    When she has the chance to meet him for lunch in his new city, she dreams of finally being able to get naked with the sexiest man she’d ever met. Lexi’s only problem? Her new boyfriend. As Lexi struggles to decide how far she’s willing to go, Austin presents her with an offer she can’t refuse. A night at his beach house, a dip in his hot tub, and a chance to make her fantasies a reality. There’s a definite line between temptation and betrayal, but when Austin reveals the real reason he invited her home, it makes her question everything. Excerpt:“Give me your foot,” he instructed. “I bet those shoes you were wearing today made your feet hurt like hell.” I hesitated, reluctant to surrender to his touch so soon, but I’d be damned if I was going to turn down a foot rub. My heels had hurt like a son of a bitch since the second I’d put them on that morning. I drifted a foot toward him, stopping when my toes brushed against his knee. His fingers gently circled around my ankle, pulling my foot closer to him. One thumb applied steady pressure along the arch of my foot, instantly sending a flash of lightning streaking through my core. His other hand gripped my toes, wiggling them around and threading his fingers between each coral painted nail. I gasped at the strength of his touch, the intensity of his gaze holding me captive. Why did he have to be so fucking sexy? When his fingertips pressed against the sore tendons across the top of my toes, I sighed with pleasure, closing my eyes and letting my head fall back. “That feels incredible,” I breathed.His skillful hands kneaded away every last ache in my tired muscles, and just when I thought he was finished, his fingers brushed my other calf, guiding that foot closer to him. Each stroke along my foot reverberated up my leg and pulsed around my clit, and when he slid his hand up to my knee, I almost lost my mind. As his strong fingers pulled the tension from my calves, all my willpower melted away, leaving behind an uncontrollable urge to touch his incredible body. I opened my eyes, heart pounding with the thrill of anticipation. Things had progressed to the point of no return for me, and I was willing to bet my annual salary he felt the same. All I had to do was give him the green light. “I bet your cock is so hard right now,” I purred, letting my foot wander closer to him, grinning slyly when my toes touched his rigid abs. He didn’t miss a beat. “It’s actually been hard since I saw you at lunch. And hearing you say cock is not helping the situation.” His heated gaze matched mine across the bubbling water, not breaking eye contact. “Big, hard, throbbing cock,” I drawled slowly, watching as his eyes grew heavier by the second. His hand returned to my foot, and just when I thought he was about to continue the foot massage, I found he had other plans. *Reviews*“Is this really Addisyn Jacobs' first book? I like the storyline, really liked the hot scenes, and loved the compassion of the male character, Austin. So many times we wonder- what if? Lexi was lucky enough to get the answer to her question, and have a night she'd never forget!” -Joanne“Loved this story but it needs a sequel. Austin is so hot and the chemistry between these two is amazing! Please Ms. Jacobs don't leave us hanging--we want them to have more than just lunch.
