True love is never convenient…
What do Bethany Myers and infatuation have in common? They’re both bright, beautiful and refuse to conform.
What do Byron Thomas and denial have in common? Just about everything. But don’t worry about it.
Ex-party girl Beth moved to Melbourne for a fresh start—which was immediately derailed by the city’s COVID lockdown. After an isolated winter, summer has arrived and Beth (and her body) is crying out for connection. But the rules have changed and being vulnerable feels risky…
A pro-footballer turned electrician, Bryon has plenty of secrets and even more regrets. He’s the glue holding his dysfunctional family together and he wants things to stay simple—something Beth makes impossible.
After a roadside encounter Bryon and Beth’s worlds collide. What was supposed to be a hook up becomes a full-on summer romance. As they question their future, both together and apart, they learn you don’t come of age once but again and again.
Begin Again, Again is a return to the world of romance novels for critically acclaimed author Eve Dangerfield.
After several torturous seconds, it became clear she was going to have to make the next move. Knowing he thought she was tipsy made it easier. If he rejected her, her misreading the situation would be covered by the band-aid of alcohol. Heart pounding, she placed her palm on his right thigh and ran it upward. “Hi, Byron Thomas.”
He looked down at her, his green eyes amused. “Hi.”
“You’re really big. Tall, I mean.”
“You like it?”
Beth swallowed. “Of course.”
Byron shifted, putting his beer glass back on the table. His arms wrapped around her again, and Beth leaned back into his chest and closed her eyes. It felt almost embarrassingly good to be engulfed by him. She’d missed being touched so fucking badly.
“One more question?” Byron asked.
“Oh… okay?”
His hands closed possessively around her waist as he lowered his mouth to her ear. “What’s the best fuck you’ve ever had?”
Beth’s breath caught in her throat. Her first instinct was to joke, say her PE teacher or something, but she couldn’t speak, she just opened and closed her mouth like a fish.
“You don’t know?”
“I…?”
“You want to find out?”
His voice was low and playful, but the way he dragged the thin cotton of her dress along her thighs said he had the answer. That he was the answer.
“Are you going to tell me or not?” Beth breathed.
A low chuckle. “It’ll be me, Bethany Aroha Myers.”
She closed her eyes. The brashness of it. And yet she believed him. His easy confidence, his hard gorgeous body. He could be the best fuck she’d ever had.
