But when her fiancé's secrets start to unravel, Carrie discovers he isn't the perfect, faithful man she thought he was. However, Nick has secrets as well. EXCERPT: "Nick," the man said with a flirty smile, taking my hand in his and pressing his lips to the back of my hand, lingering momentarily and then letting go. I felt my face heat up and suddenly wished I'd piled on the foundation so that no one would notice how extreme the blush creeping up my cheeks was. "Nice to meet you," I said quietly, hoping my voice didn't really sound as shaky to everyone else as it did to me. "Likewise," Nick said, keeping his eyes locked on mine. I started to wish I had worn a dress that wasn't so revealing. I loved this dress because it showed off my figure and my cleavage perfectly and made me feel like a model. But under Nick's stare, I felt naked, and by the looks of his smirking expression, he probably wished I was. © 2017 Evergreen Books. All rights reserved.
