"Because you broke my heart!" I hadn't planned on being so honest. Hearing those words aloud, said to the person responsible for the worst six months of my life, set the tears off again.
Her smile vanished. "I'm sorry, baby. I really am. You didn't deserve any of that." She threw her arms around me, but instead of fighting her off, I let myself be cuddled. I took in her scent, melted in her arms. It felt like a dream being there with her. I prayed it wasn't.
"I'm going to spend the rest of my life making it up to you, if you'll let me," she continued, whispering into my ear and kissing my lobe every now and then.
"What about your family? Marcus?"
She looked at me. "We're still mending our relationship. He's going to be hurt for a long time, but he's working on forgiving me. Of course, it does help that he and Emily finally stopped beating around the bush and got together."
"Really?" I said, surprised and amused. "Wow, so you were right about them. Maybe they're the real deal. She'll make him happier than I ever could."
"Yeah. I knew you couldn't make him happy. But me..." She took my face in her hands, stared deep into my soul. "You said once that fate brought you into Marcus's life in order for us to meet. I believe that now. You and I are the real deal. We have the kind of love my parents have. That only happens once in a lifetime."
I let her kiss me, at first not giving anything back, but eventually my tongue took over, and we devoured each other hungrily, making up for six lost months.
"I missed you," I admitted, and the confession unburdened my heart.
"Me too. But I'm here now, and I'm not going anywhere."
I took her to bed, and we spent the rest of the night making love as though we had nothing else in the world to do.

True love only comes around once in a lifetime...
When thirty-year-old Jenna Lincoln hops on a plane to England, her plan is to spend two months with her boyfriend, Marcus, getting to know his family. She's heard so much about them, particularly his older sister, Scarlett, a woman he's placed on a pedestal.
A chance meeting with Scarlett Rutherford-Manning is enough to convince Jenna that the woman isn't who she appears to be. That, and she's a conniving witch who doesn't think Jenna is good enough for her brother. So Jenna prepares herself for what she's certain will be the vacation from hell.
What she isn't prepared for, however, is her growing attraction to the mysterious woman, and the realization that she might be with the wrong sibling...
A Scarlet Kiss is a steamy lesbian romance novel.
