by Tracy Sumner
"Sweet," he whispered and tangled his fingers in her blouse, her stomach gently rounded beneath his palm, her skin searing his. He pressed light kisses along the edge of her lace-trimmed collar, following the silky curve of her ear to her jaw. His mouth parted over the hard ridge, desiring more, and moving toward it.
Elle murmured and sagged against him, giving him the opportunity he needed. Swiveling her around, he cradled her face in his palms, bringing her eyes to his. A fire burned in the green depths, one to match his.
A wave of virile self-satisfaction consumed him. She wanted him. Passion lived in each shallow breath she took, in the steady flush sweeping her cheeks. His hunger grew as he watched her lids flutter, her chin tilt, unwittingly bringing her lips closer. She had no idea the level of desire he felt for her, the crude images he entertained. Ones he could hardly believe, for somewhere, deep inside, he knew the touch of her lips would never be enough.
How could it be enough when she has belonged to you since the first day you saw her?

Meet Tracy Sumner
Tracy’s story telling career began when she picked up a copy of LaVyrle Spencer’s Vows on a college beach trip. A journalism degree and a thousand romance novels later, she decided to try her hand at writing a southern version of the perfect love story. With a great deal of luck and more than a bit of perseverance, she sold her first novel to Kensington Publishing.
When not writing sensual stories featuring complex characters and lush settings, Tracy can be found reading romance, snowboarding, watching college football and figuring out how she can get to 100 countries before she kicks (which is a more difficult endeavor than it used to be with her four-year-old son in tow). She lives in Charlotte, NC, but after spending a few years in "the city", considers herself a New Yorker at heart.
Tracy has been awarded the National Reader’s Choice, the Write Touch and the Beacon—with finalist nominations in the HOLT Medallion, Heart of Romance, Rising Stars and Reader’s Choice. Her books have been translated into German, Dutch, Portuguese and Spanish. She loves hearing from readers about why she tends to pit her hero and heroine against each other from the very first page or that great romance she simply must order in five seconds on her Kindle.
