Hunter by Sophie Sparks

He’s a devastatingly handsome alpha firefighter. She’s a younger curvy beauty with a heart the size of Everest. When their souls collide on a heavenly beach… their worlds are about to change… forever.

HUNTER:
I first saw Melissa Morgan one month ago. Perched on a stone wall at the north end of Parfield beach, she simply sat there… watching us.
With her sensuous, feminine, hourglass figure haloed by the setting sun, I haven’t been able to get her from my mind since.
Now, just having left my friend’s wedding celebration to grab some fresh air, I stare deeply into her green eyes and can’t resist the overwhelming urge that magnetises me to her cherry lips. In the most perfect moment imaginable, this life-changing kiss silences the chaos of my current predicament.
I can feel myself falling. Fast. And hard.
But, as I tease myself from her perfect lips and brush her soft cheek, my heart and mind are torn.
I can’t drag her into this mess…
“Why didn’t I meet you years ago?” my lonely heart cries, watching her heavenly curves disappear into the distance…

MELISSA:
This kiss. This connection. This blissful feeling. This is the moment I’ve read and dreamed about for as long as I can remember.
Sights, sounds and smells fade and time itself stands still as I savour the sweet taste of Hunter’s lips on mine.
But what the hell am I doing? My friend already told me that he’s a married man! And this is what married men do, right? When all is not well at home, they seek comfort in lonely girls who should know better.
But I’m not stupid or naïve. I’m about to qualify top of my class in computer science. I’m smart enough to know I should walk away…
The trouble is… I can’t.
With his impossibly toned muscles threatening to rip through his tailored wedding suit, I feel breathless as I stare up at the giant of a man.
“Run while you still can,” my logical mind screams as the rugged firefighter struggles to explain his awful situation.
“It’s already too late,” my stolen heart whispers.
With the moonlight shimmering in Hunter’s hypnotic eyes, my mind concedes defeat and I desperately hope I’m not about to make a life-changing mistake…
