" Unbreakable ", la toute nouvelle romance de seconde chance sexy et riche en émotions " à ne pas manquer " de l'auteur bestseller USA Today Melanie Harlowan est désormais disponible en VO !

Avec du recul, je n'aurais pas dû prendre ce cinquième mimosa au Breakfast avec Santa.

Ou le sixième, le septième et le huitième.

Mais la honte que j'ai ressentie face à l'effondrement public qui en a résulté n'était rien en comparaison de l'abandon par l'homme avec qui j'étais mariée depuis quinze ans pour une femme beaucoup plus jeune - et ai-je mentionné qu'elle est enceinte ?

Pour le bien de mes enfants et ma fierté, je fais mes valises et je me dirige vers la maison de mon enfance et la petite ville où j'ai grandi. Cloverleigh Farms serait l'endroit idéal pour un nouveau départ.

Tomber sous le charme d'Henry DeSantis ne faisait pas partie du plan.

Bien sûr, il est agréable à regarder et dur dans la chambre (ainsi que dans le couloir, la baignoire et sur son bureau), mais il vient de divorcer lui aussi et les choses entre nous vont si vite que je crains qu'aucun de nous n'ait eu le temps de guérir. Sans parler du fait que je suis maintenant une mère célibataire - mes enfants doivent passer en premier.

Mais Henry me fait me sentir belle et sexy, désirée et forte - des choses que je n'ai pas ressenties depuis des années. Nous nous comprenons, et quand je suis dans ses bras, je suis tentée de lui faire confiance à nouveau. D'aimer à nouveau. De me laisser aimer sans crainte.

Mais au fond de moi, je suis terrifiée.

Est-ce trop, trop tôt ? Ou suis-je idiote de laisser passer sous le nez une seconde chance d'être heureuse pour toujours ?

"Want to unzip my dress?"

"That would be a yes." He took my hand and pulled me to my feet. "Turn around."

I turned, lifting my hair off my neck. Slowly, he pulled the zipper down my back, and the red dress fell to my feet. Stepping out of it, I suddenly felt self-conscious. I hadn't been fully naked in front of a man without the cover of darkness in a long time. I hadn't been fully naked in front of anyone but my ex since I was twenty-and I didn't have that body anymore. I'd had two children. Even though I knew it was stupid, that nagging little prickle of insecurity still stung . . . I'd been left for a younger woman. He'd told her I didn't excite him anymore. Was my body to blame? Before I could stop myself, I covered my chest with my arms, wrapping one fist inside the other and tucking them beneath my chin.

"Hey." Henry turned me by the shoulder so I was facing him again. "Don't do that."

"What?" I had trouble looking him in the eye.

He tipped my chin up. "Don't hide yourself from me."

"I'm not hiding," I said, but of course I was.

Taking me by the wrists, he forced my arms down to my sides, and looked at me.

I started to panic a little.

I was totally bare before him-stretch marks, C-section scar, less-than-perky breasts and all. Unlike many of my friends, I'd never had surgery to restore my post-baby body to its former tight, bouncy, unmarked state. Now I was kind of wishing I had.

I'd never felt so naked or vulnerable in my life.

"Sylvia, I'm going to say this once," Henry said seriously. "And then, since you've learned not to trust words entirely, I'm going to spend the rest of the night showing you that it's true-I think you are the most exquisite woman on the face of the earth, in every way. There is no part of your body, no inch of your skin, that isn't perfect, because it's ." He took my head in his hands and kissed me, hard but sweet. "And all I want to do is make you mine, even if it's just for tonight."

"Yes," I whispered. I rose up on my toes, pressing my lips to his again while my hands went to work unbuttoning his shirt. "Make me yours tonight, Henry. That's all I want to be."
