Update on Kindle Vella: I Want to Know What Love Is

Kindle Vella will soon be available for readers who like to enjoy their story one bite at a time! This story is a steamy college sports forbidden romance featuring the college football QB and the Assistant Women's Basketball coach from St. Paul University, with an enemies to lovers vibe.

So far there are 3 episodes which will be free. The rest will be available in periodic downloads for tokens whenever Kindle Vella goes live. I'm not sure how many total episodes there'll be in the story, but I'm sure there'll be a few dozen to keep you reading. You can think of I Want to Know What Love Is as a pre-order that you get to read one snippet at a time until it comes out in the ebook version on Kindle Unlimited.💞

EXCLUSIVE EXCERPT #3

BAD MAN ON CAMPUS

a Second Chance Hockey Romance

SNIPPET #3

“I’d love to have you in my bed every night,” he whispers.

Shock widens my eyes and I suck in a breath. He leans toward me, bends his head and touches his lips to mine. Flames shoot from my soul and I can’t tell if the excruciating feeling is pain or bliss, saving me or killing me. My lips tremble under his. My whole body vibrates with desperate need and I don’t care if this is an end or a beginning—or so I tell myself—as long as the moment never ends, as I steep myself in it, gathering up every nuance, his heat, the scent and taste of him, spicy maple and man. His energy, as powerful as his body strung with tight, sinewy muscle, buzes through me.

The kiss doesn’t last long, but long enough for my wounded heart to feel revived and beating wildly with joy rather than anxiety, long enough for my soul to leap with hope. Long enough for me to be breathless and gasping for more of him. But I hold myself together because it can’t be real, it’s too close to what I’ve dreamed for too long. An impossible dream. A snatch from our past to taunt me.

He cups my cheek with his hand and stares, studies my face and I want to hold my breath, but I’m panting instead because I need to breathe and I’m breathing too fast, so I take one deep breath to calm myself. Don’t lose it, Glory. It was just a kiss. Just an admission that he still lusts for you.

“Say something,” he says, his voice raw.

“I want you in my bed every night, too. We’ll have to flip a coin.”

To really sink into the emotions and let them have their way with you, to make you feel like you are living in the characters’ skins, I highly recommend you listen to these songs while you read–before and after too!

Guilty by Paloma Faith is especially inspiring and appropriate for the song, for Glory Rose.
