Come Morning Light

It's only one night.A night in which I am to surrender my inhibitions and compete in a grand tournament with the rest of the wedding party.Described by the bride and groom as a series of games that will award one winning pair the "e;ultimate prize,"e; the event is mysterious, to say the least. And I'm tied up in knots about it.But as the maid of honor, how can I refuse?The silver lining comes in the form of the best man, James Pierce. A stranger with kindness in his voice, a smoldering flame lurking in his eyes, and a seductive touch that brings me straight to my knees.My partner.As spellbound as I am by him, I fear our chemistry can only take us so far. James is unaware of what haunts me at night-of what waits for me behind every locked door. He doesn't know what paralyzed me with fear and pushed me to the brink of madness as a child. It's a darkness I pray has abandoned me, leaving me, at long last, in peace.But tonight, my inner demons will grant me anything but peace.Faced with a challenge that lies far beyond the boundaries of the tournament, I must weigh the risks of surrendering myself to James completely. Can I move forward with my heart intact after baring my soul to yesterday's stranger, or will I tell him my darkest truths, only to find him gone come morning light?
