Diablo Blanco Club: Rite Of First Claim (2010) - Plot & Excerpts
The temptation to curl closer to the man beside her set alarms off in her head. The reflection across the room of herself, head pillowed by Mike’s chest, her arm wrapped over him as if she couldn’t bear to let him go, brought Lyssa fully awake. It all felt too good to be true. Her body and heart grumbled, urging her to return to sleep, but her head began to spin with the impossible scenarios of what would happen if she gave in to her feelings for Mike. Reliance on feelings had created an untenable—and eventually deadly—situation for her mother, and Lyssa had spent over half her life avoiding the same trap. The moment they met, she’d known instantly the type of man Mike was—determined. She hadn’t been wrong. Somehow in the twelve years since they’d met, Mike had convinced himself that he was in love with her. But that wasn’t possible. Not for her. The same stubborn determination that had helped the youngest Halsey break free of the family business and forge a career in photojournalism had also worked to keep the damned man from seeing the reality Lyssa had known her entire life: she wasn’t worth loving.
