Read an excerpt:
Marianne
checked the time—five-fifteen, and Drew should be in soon for the last hour or
so of opening time. Fayme had gone home and the steady stream of customers
stopped. People would be preparing for the range of exciting nightlife on offer
all over the city. Marianne opened late three nights a week, but today wasn’t
one of them. She walked to her shop window and stared out past the display of
artwork and silk scarves. She considered what Sophie had told her about her
grandparents. There was no one left to ask for corroboration. That’s why Drew
lived in her house. She had so much room and Drew shared all the expenses. He’d
sometimes get a gig as a sound engineer when a movie or television show filmed
in town. He’d been lucky and worked on three in a row two years running. The
money was good and Drew invested in the shop so that they could extend.
Marianne gazed unseeing at the passersby.
She
pictured Drew, his dark hair, his blue eyes, the way his shirts fit over his
muscular body. She allowed herself the vision of his faded jeans hanging low on
his hips. Once she’d glimpsed him naked, raw need to touch him, kiss him, feel
his skin under her palms, had almost crippled her then, and it tore into her heart
right now like a spear. She leaned on the frame around the window display,
awash with sorrow that he would only ever be her friend. She sighed and turned
to tidy shelves and refill some of the stands emptied by customers that day. He’ll never shake that addiction, he’ll
always be a player, he’s a gorgeous guy who had girls throw themselves at him,
and so he’s taken what’s been on offer. It
must be exhilarating to be wanted, because women do want him. I see it in their
eyes when he’s in the shop.
