Only 11 more days until the release of JUST FOR NOW.
Preston Drake and Amanda Hardy have been around since the beginning of the Sea Breeze Series. They make appearances in every book.
In Breathe, Amanda becomes Sadie White’s friend.
In Because of Low, Amanda is dealing with her family issues along with her brother Marcus.
In While It Lasts her appearance is very brief but it clued most readers in to just who the next book was going to be about.
For Preston, his part in Breathe is as Marcus Hardy’s best friend. He shows up and is comic relief mostly.
In Because of Low, he is on Cage York’s baseball team as well as a fixture in Marcus’s life.
In While It Lasts, he only makes a few brief appearances. One of those is with Amanda and the hint as to what is coming next is very strong.
I’ve know Preston wasn’t exactly what he appeared to be since his first appearance in Breathe. I knew he had secrets but I wasn’t sure if I’d ever delve into his life. After Because of Low I knew just who was going to make him want to change and exactly how severe his issues were. I had no doubt that after I told bad boy Cage York’s story that I’d have to tell readers about Preston next. He is quite possibly the deepest character to date for me. Weird, I know, considering he has always been portrayed as the playboy. Looks can be deceiving and for Preston Drake that is exactly the case.

JUST FOR NOW excerpt
Warning: It is very hot and is not suitable for young readers.
“Manda, please baby, tell me to stop,” he begged in a deep husky voice while he trailed kisses from my mouth to my neck, where he began licking and nip
“I don’t want to,” I gasped out as his finger entered me easily.
“So sweet. So wet. I shouldn’t be able to touch you. I’m not good enough.” His tortured voice only turned me on more. I opened my legs and he sank down between them as his fingers eased in and out of me.
“You’re so warm,” he murmured as he kissed down my chest and finally let go of my hands so that he could use his free hand to slid up the inside of my shirt. He chose that moment to start rubbing his thumb over my clit. I cried out and clung to both his arms. I was so close.
“No,” he bit out and then he was gone.
My breathing was labored and my body parts started screaming in protest. I wanted him back. Touching me.
“No! I can’t do this. I shouldn’t have started it.” Preston was standing up when I opened my eyes. His face looked fierce and he wasn’t looking at me. Instead, he was focused on the dark sky.
“This is wrong,” he said again in a determined voice.
