Welcome Australian author Cynthia
Terelst. Cynthia and I met online through a group hosted by author Kayelle
Allen. Today, Cynthia is sharing LET SLEEPING DOGS LIE.
Will one of the treasures they find be each other's heart?
It's been five years since Tara walked out of Shepherd's life without a word. Since then he's spiralled through drugs, alcohol and empty relationships, with Tara on his mind the whoe time. Now he wants to win her back, and what better way than by creating a fake scavenger hunt? He knows she won't be able to resist.
Tara's lost enough loved ones and she didn't want to see Shepherd added to that count. So, when she saw him high at graduation, she did the only thing she could do -- she walked away. When she'd teamed up with him for a million dollar scavenger hunt, the feelings reignite. For a second chance at love to work, she needs to be brave enough to open up and tell him everything she withheld the first time around.
Shepherd didn't realize how much winning would mean to Tara. He now needs to come up with the $3 million for her foundation before the hunt is over. If he can't he will need to tell her it's all fake, and he doesn't know if he can risk that.
Will secrets destroy them a second time around?
Shepherd and I sat on the couch side by side and watched The
Martian while we ate dinner. The warmth from where our arms touched seeped
through me. I should have moved away, but I didn’t want to. The spices from the
tacos radiated off him. What would they taste like when mixed with the sweetness
of him? My eyes were drawn to his lips, the curve of them. I could practically
feel their softness.
Shepherd turned his face to mine. My eyes lingered for a
moment as I imagined his soft breath brushing my face as he bent his head
toward me. My breathing shallowed to the point that it was nearly non-existent,
as if I were a starfish. I turned my face away and resumed watching the movie,
making sure my hands kept to themselves and my thoughts remained on the man
saving his own life on the screen. Matt Damon may have been the most attractive
astronaut I’d ever seen, but he was nothing compared to Shepherd.
The movie ended and I sat there while the credits rolled. Our
closeness suddenly made me feel like we were in a flux capacitor. Time—five
years of it—had been starved, and now it was swallowing me whole. Everything
about Shepherd felt like home. Everything. And if I allowed it to, this feeling
wouldn’t just swallow me, it would become me.
I jerked away from him, my heart racing, my skin cold, while I
broke into a sweat. I couldn’t allow this to happen. Shepherd was no longer my
solace. He never truly was because he never knew my grief. My grief over my
brother. The feelings of loss at my parent’s death.
No, Shepherd was not my solace. Not then. Not now.
