Twenty-four
hours.
A
no-strings-attached adventure with the most gorgeous man I’ve ever seen—this
was my alcohol-slash-lust-fueled proposal, and given before I could consider
the potential ramifications.
While his looks alone are enough to make a girl
swoon, it’s the rest of him—a perfect balance of mysterious, sweet, and
effortlessly charming—that draws me in. Through his cryptic comments and
half-answers, he’s quickly become an enigma I’m determined to solve.
One way or
another, this adventure promises to snap the stagnant, lackluster pattern my
love life has been locked in lately.
Is it naïve
and a little reckless to think this won’t blow up in my face? Probably.
But the bigger
question is the only one I need to answer…
Is the chance
to soar among the stars worth the risk of being burned when the sun eventually
rises?
EMMETT
Love is a
mistake I won’t make again.
My rules are
simple. Keep things surface-deep. Don’t make plans. And never, ever get
attached.
One look at
her is all it takes for me to break my first rule.
One conversation
with her is all it takes for me to question everything.
Which means
accepting her proposal is bound to be a mistake.
She has no
idea who I am or what kind of demons I live with, so I tell myself there’s no
harm in spending one day with her. But the more I lose myself in her, the more
she brings me out of the darkness and into her light, the harder it’ll be to
let her go.
When reality
comes crashing down on us in the worst way possible, I have to decide between
walking away…or risking everything for the woman who breaks all of my rules.
Money and
power. With one, you have the other. Add to that a family name. A strong family
name and what does it equal? Disaster for some. Even more power for another.
When everything you have to live for in threatened by that power, you find
yourself torn. Torn between happiness and protecting the ones nearest and
dearest to your heart. Even more so, you live for others happiness and will
live a sorrowful life to protect your loved ones. Does that make you weak, or
does that make you one amazingly selfless person, willing to sacrifice
everything for others well beings.
That is what
Emmett Sinclair is dealing with. What he has had to deal with his entire life.
A powerful, disgusting politician for a father and an evil sadistic so called
man for a brother. Always being pit against each other, Emmett and Will never
really had a chance to bond as brothers. As twin brothers. When fate brought a
heart broken Jade Preston to Emmett, he knew that he could never be happy and
gave her 24 hours to be worshipped by him. 24 hours and nothing more, nothing
less. Jade didn’t want more, she wasn’t looking for anything serious. She was
building her wedding planning empire ... Forget Me Knot and she just didn’t
have the time nor the energy to put into a relationship. Twenty-Four hours
would be enough. It would be all she needed ... or will it?
C.R. Ellis
does a bang up job enticing us with this story. Love, lust, danger, heartache.
It’s all there. If you have yet to read anything by this brilliant author, do
yourself a favor and pick up Why Stars Chase the Sun. You won’t regret it.

can almost always be found attached to her laptop with coffee nearby and her
two trusty canine sidekicks by her side. When she’s not writing or plotting,
