Excerpt and Giveaway Holiday Heat by Noelle Adams

Description:

After being hit with heartbreaking tragedy, Carrie has thrown herself into a hot, secret relationship with Matt. With Christmas approaching, she realizes she might want even more from her sexy, damaged artist, but the boundaries around their relationship make anything deeper than sex impossible. 

Matt was the rising star of the art world, but he hasn’t painted since a tragic accident two years ago. His passion for Carrie finally inspires him, but first he must convince her that the heat between them is far more than just sex.

EXCERPT

“Why don’t you have any tattoos?” she asked, trying to drag herself away from the soft feelings her reflections had prompted.
“Why would I have tattoos?” 
“I don’t know. You seem like the kind of guy who would have tattoos. You’ve got that hard edge, you know.” 
He chuckled. “When an activity is so common that college kids do it when they’re drunk, I think it’s time to admit that the activity has lost its edge.” 
She burst into giggles when the words processed. Sometime in the last three months, she’d learned how to laugh again—although she couldn’t really pinpoint when it had happened. 
“You’re not that much older than college kids, you know. You shouldn’t sound so superior.” 
“If you say so.” 
Still smiling, she reached over to stroke his chest, her hand gliding over the smoothly rippling muscles and scattering of coarse hair. 
“Do you want me to get a tattoo?” he asked, a different note in his voice. 
“No.” Her fingers lingered on a jagged scar that slashed through the curve of his ribcage. 
“I guess my body is marked enough.”
