Title: Sky of Dreams
Series: Passionate Hearts #1
Author: Jenna Jacob
Release Date: October 13, 2015
Kaitlin Grant lost her spine.
She isn’t a slug—but her abusive ex-lover and business partner is. Broken and
bruised, she escapes to the safe haven of Connor, Iowa, to resurrect her
self-confidence. But Kaitlin doesn’t anticipate the potent electricity still
sizzling between her and Sky Whitefeather—the swarthy Native American man she
left years ago.
Returning home from Iraq with
a daughter and an unforgivable secret, Sky tries to bury the past, until
Katie—the girl who annihilated his heart, returns to town. The irresistible
woman stirs up emotions he longs to forget and rekindles desires that might
burn him alive.
Can new love grow from the
ashes of their past, or will a trail of death and betrayal destroy their
dreams?
The sound of churning gravel and the purr of a car
engine drew Sky’s attention to the road. A silver Jag slowed to a stop in front
of Gran’s. His heart clutched in his chest, air stilled in his lungs.
Katie.
He didn’t need to see the shimmer of her glossy auburn
hair reflecting in the setting sun to recognize her. The blistering pull of
every cell in his body and the rush of conflicting emotions rolling through him
were proof enough. Anger, desire, sadness, and rejection brought with them a
sting that burned the backs of his eyes. Forcing down the lump of emotion
clogging his throat, Sky tried to tamp down the familiar vibration humming
through his body. A part of him wanted to whoop for joy before yanking Katie
into his arms kissing her senseless. Another part of him wanted to forget she
even existed…wipe away the ball-churning memories that flooded his brain, and
focus on the hurt and anger he felt when Gran broke the news, Katie had left.
Yet, all he could think about was touching her, kissing her, holding her in his
arms, before he dragged her beneath him.
Skimming a cursory glance over the ridiculously
expensive sports car, Sky’s shoulders sagged. Katie had achieved her dreams all
right, it was staring him in the face, sending feelings of inadequacy deep into
his bones. He hadn’t had a damn thing to offer her at eighteen; he sure as hell
didn’t now. Sky couldn’t compete with the riches she’d apparently become
accustomed to. It didn’t take a genius to see he could only rate as a long lost
lover. Reality stung, like a slap to the face.
Katie had ripped his heart out and stomped it to
shit—a fact he’d do well to remember. But it didn’t erase the desire to love
her again, or the growing need inside his jeans. Disgusted by his traitorous
libido, her return only served to make him pick at the scabs of the past, and
douse them in salt water. Sky clenched his jaw.
“Looks like you got everything you wanted, Katie,” he
mumbled with disdain. “I’m sure you’re happy now.”
No sooner had the words rolled off his tongue than the
sounds of gut-wrenching sobs filled his ears.
What the
hell?
Tossing down the shovel, Sky mopped the sweat off his
face before storming toward the Jag. Katie’s sobs grew louder and more pitiful.
Like fine crystal, the flimsy barrier he’d erected around his heart, began to
crack, splinter, and finally shatter. Standing next to the open window, Sky
watched tears drip from beneath her shroud of silky, red hair. The waning sun
reflected in each drop, casting them in a shimmer of gold, as they spilled onto
Katie’s lap.
His guts and heart clenched in tandem. Sky had only
seen Katie cry once: the first time they made love; those had been tears of
joy. There wasn’t an ounce of happiness in the guttural sobs ringing in his
ears. What the hell had happened to her? This wasn’t the strong, resilient
woman he’d once loved. Seeing Katie in the throes of such brutal sorrow gutted
him.
In an instant, his heart caught fire with the need to
protect: burning away the poisonous animosity he’d felt moments ago. Instantly,
flames of love reignited—the powerful kind they’d once shared—and Sky only
wanted to scoop her into his arms so he could comfort and slay the demons
causing her this pain.
