A Mountain Veil by Valencia Hess

Noah:
She’s a splash of color in a sea of black leather and dim light. She must be lost, but she’s right where she needs to be.
She doesn’t know it, but she’s broadcasting a message loud and clear. And even if I’m not the most likely recipient, I know I’m the one that’s been waiting to hear it.
For one crazy night, all my rough edges and all her complications don’t mean anything.
But now it’s morning.
All those complications are just the start of how this has to end.

Danielle:
All my life, my world has revolved around a word. “Can’t.” For an evening, Noah makes me forget that word and everything it’s ever held me back from.
But for all the wild feelings, a heated kiss is as far as it can go.
And now that’s all it can be. It can never happen again.
Family and promises have a way of taking away the things I want more than anything. I thought I knew how much that could hurt.
I was wrong.
