First Position

BLURB
Emory faces life’s challenges at the one place that’s never failed
her, the ballet barre. But even the
barre can’t steady her when fate brings her face-to-face with her old college
flame, Mason, who’s hoping to return to the NFL after a career-threatening
injury. Before they can surrender to
their sexual desires and find salvation in each other’s arms, they need to come
to terms with their past. Mason must
confront the demons that have set him on a path of self-destruction, while
Emory must decide whether to keep her painful secrets locked away, or expose
them and risk losing the love of her life.
But nothing can prepare Mason for what Emory has kept hidden, or the
possibility that he himself may be to blame for the very secrets she keeps –
and why they continue to haunt her.
EXCERPT
Emory sat between Olivia and Wesley,
as three nail technicians worked on their feet.
“This is the best idea you’ve had in a while, girl,” Wesley said,
wiggling his toes in the water. “Thanks
for inviting me.” Emory pointed to
Olivia giving her credit.
“She told me about Tomás, and honey,
there’s nothing better for a broken heart than hitting the spa.”
“Thank you, Olivia, I’m feeling
better already.” Wesley leaned his head
back, easing his mind. “We’re not just
doing feet, huh?”
“We’re doing it all!” Emory said, giggling. “Manis, pedis, facials, massages, and Olivia,
you’re getting your hair and makeup done for our shoot.”
“We deserve it all,” Olivia said,
“for all the shit we put up with from our men.”
Wesley and Emory nodded in agreement, but then Olivia turned
serious. “But what I really need is a
wax. Must be a damn forest down there by
now!” Wesley and Emory, along with the
technicians, erupted in laughter. “Was
that inappropriate?”
“No way,” he said. “I come here once a month to take care of
that area. They have this hard wax they
use. Hurts less.”
Olivia appreciated the tip. “I might try that.”
“Too much information, Wesley,”
Emory said.
“Whatever, it’s not like I said she
should vajazzle herself.”
Emory hid her face, mortified,
regretting she’d allowed Wesley to come, but Olivia was intrigued. “Is that popular in Charlotte? It seems all the Texas housewives are doing
it.”
Wesley quickly asked, “Emory?”
“I wouldn’t know,” she said, then
apologized to the technicians for her friends.
“Oh, come on,” he said, “we
ballerinas are all bare down there. You
can’t have more than a landing strip.”
“I prefer Brazilian,” Olivia
volunteered.
Emory turned bright red. “Someone help me!”
