[Excerpt:] Jules towered over her, pressing her shoulder blades into the door. He pulled her face into his hands, cradling her chin, and forcing her to look up. Warm brown skin void of flaws, thick brows and eyelashes fringing his eyes; she stared at that unreasonable perfection, but said nothing.

"I have to go," she winced, her voice unsteady. He held on to her for a moment longer, and then stepped back to let her leave.
