Bestselling author Adriane Leigh comes a passionate contemporary romance about
giving in to desire so sharp and sweet it threatens to consume...
Georgia Montgomery is
desperate for an escape from the life she’s been leading. The perfect job, the
perfect apartment, the perfect boyfriend—all are on the cusp of driving her
over the edge. On a whim, she buys a beach house on the North Carolina coast,
eager to spend a summer with her college friends. She thinks she’s found the
perfect balance, until one pleasure-seeking playboy turns her world on its
axis. Georgia tries to ignore the tornado of emotion that sweeps through her
system whenever Tristan Howell is near, but just like an addiction, one look,
one taste, one touch is never enough.
The chemistry is
scorching and it isn't long before the slow burn ignites into a full-blown
wildfire that threatens to consume anything in its path. But Georgia and
Tristan can't shelter their love from the outside world, and the moments of
exquisite passion they share aren't enough to sustain the relationship. When
scars from the past resurface--will their hearts meld together as one? Or will
outside forces tear them apart, leaving an empty shell where love and passion
once thrived?
*Note: The characters
in Sweet Alibi are real and flawed--they make bad decisions and learn hard
lessons. It contains a love triangle, a sweet alpha-male with a broken heart,
and a leading lady that doesn't always know what she wants. If you love a character-driven
romance with a hard-fought happily-ever-after, Sweet Alibi is for you.

Gavin tossed my heavy
duffel bag and I caught it just before it slammed into my chest.
“Shithead,” I
grumbled as he led the way up the beach house stairs. He hustled, taking the
steps two at a time. I knew he was anxious to see Drew. A few days was the
longest they’d been apart in their short relationship and from the way he
talked you’d think his dick was about to fall off from lack of use. I only
hoped their room was out of earshot of mine.
Gavin knocked on the
door and then stepped in. I heard footsteps pounding on wooden floors and then
was blindsided when the petite form of Drew launched into Gavin. An oomph escaped
his lungs before their lips connected and I heard wet tongues and small moans.
“Seriously?” I said
with a grunt. Gavin’s hands were already firmly gripping her ass and Drew’s
were tugging and twisting in his hair.
Please, dear God let
their room be across the house from mine. If I had to listen to them all summer
I would be spending a lot of time on my boat.
I watched them all
but hump each other in front of me before I sensed someone else enter the room.
My eyes dragged across the open kitchen to land on a pair of deep brown ones
watching the couple in front of me. My mind registered someone standing next to
her but I couldn’t be bothered to look. All I saw was long, brown hair thrown
back in a messy ponytail, stray tendrils dusting her cheekbones and curling
around her neck. Her full lips were curved in a frown as she watched the couple
making out in the middle of the room.
I grinned because I
knew already this summer was going to be interesting to say the least.
Not only would I have
to contend with the Gavin-Drew fuck fest that was sure to commence as of today,
but I’d be living under the same roof as this beautiful creature all summer.
Somehow it had escaped me that the girl who owned the beach house was a
knockout. No wonder Gavin had given me the rundown on steering clear of her
before we arrived. No man in his fucking mind could stay away from this girl.
Fuck him.
Fuck me.
Why had he said she
was hands off this summer?
I could see right now
this girl was anything but average. I knew with one glance she wasn't the type
that wore her dresses a few inches too short and fuck-me heels that begged to
be wrapped around my neck.
There was something
about her. Something that said she was...more. More everything. She had more
depth. More sensuality. An unassuming beauty. She was stunning and she didn't
even know it.
“I’m Georgia,” she
introduced herself with a handshake.
The grin grew wide on
my face. I offered her my name and then addressed the couple dry humping beside
me. We exchanged a few words and then she laughed, the tone low, an amused
smile lifting her lips. The beautiful lips that I wanted to run the pad of my thumb
along right before I pressed mine to hers. Fuck she was beautiful and I was
getting hard just thinking of all the things we could do together without our
clothes on.
