BETWEEN YOU & ME
Love means going the distance
…many, many times.
Love at first sight strikes Seattle scientist Finnegan
Kane at the worst possible moment, paralyzing him
as he’s pitching his cutting-edge idea to powerful
New York venture capitalist Emanuela Monroe…
Finn survived the crash that killed his parents when
he was sixteen. Twenty years later, his smart devices
are about to redefine what it means to be disabled.
Emanuela makes dreams come true for a living, but
still longs to fulfill her own. Despite Finn’s stunning
secret, she thinks his idea might be worth the risk…
and he’s determined to show her that he is, too.

Excerpt:
He knew she was wide open and he wanted her to trust him. It was his turn to be exposed. He tapped his leg. “This is the best one I’ve had so far, except I can’t deep sea dive with it.”
She reached for his hand. “How many do you have?”
“Just one. But I’m waiting for the military to finish developing those bionic legs so I can lift cars with my foot.”
Her slim fingers traced his bigger ones. “You don’t have to do that, you know. Self-deprecate. You’ve already seen me naked.”
His eyes raked over her, his pulse jumping at her words. “You have no idea how much I’d like to see that again,” he said, sensing her shiver. “But first I want you to see me too. The real me.” He looked down at their hands. “Only if you’re comfortable.”
“I want to see. I just didn’t know how to ask. Or if I should ask.” She smiled. “I didn’t want to offend you.”
“You haven’t asked me to spank you with it, so this is already an improvement from my last date.”
Emanuela gasped. “No…”
He laughed at her horrified expression. “’Fraid so.” He gently removed her legs from his lap and stood in front of her. “And that was an improvement from the date before that.”
“Oh my God.” She snickered. “That’s awful.”
“Well, some kinky stuff is fun.”
“Ugh.” She narrowed her eyes. “Just drop your pants already!”
